I'm in Anchorage.

I was in Anchorage last year for business a few times. I spent a total of a month there. Very beautiful place.

Guess you guys will need some pretty good heaters up there huh?

[kp1917]

I'd be interested. Live in Eagle River.

[jcopp]

Lets get some kind of date going. I should have a few frags from my 180g ready to go soon. Anyone have sps frags? I am out in Palmer, but willing to travel to the "big" city :)

Anyone breeding clownfish etc?

Hey guys, not sure if you got anything fired up or not as far as a club but it looks like this might be one of the better places to post this. It looks like I will be moving back to Colorado and I don't want to move all my fish stuff again so I would like to sell it. Not sure if there is any interest or not, if there is I will post a list of stuff that I would like to get rid of.

Is there anybody in alaska still??? Wondering if you ever actually got the club started, and more info if it is...

[kp1917]

I'm still here. I haven't been on Reef Central for over a year but I'd still like to get something started.

Anyone else?

[jaws_too]

goodluck guys.

[Mr.X-Ray]

[IPT]

I live in Anch. A buddy told me there were a few attemts at getting something started but they all petered out. I think it'd be cool though.

[kp1917]

I'd be interested in fragment trading for some variety of SPS, LPS or gorgonian (I'd really prefer corals that have been growing for a long time in captivity). I have many soft and SPS coral fragements I can trade.
Im in the Mat-su valley.

[tracer197]

i'd be interested in a trade, but i have nothing to trade. i'm mostly concentrating on getting my system in order after moving but am looking for a group to meet with.

[Mr.X-Ray]

:rollface: Just got back from Hawaii. Spent a couple of weeks there and came home (unwillingly). I see a couple new responses so I thaught I would send a shout out to the AK peps. I am editing some vids of diving on the big island and will post them to youtube soon.

[AlaskanDiver]

Hey! I'm in anchorage too, and would LOVE to meet up with some people!
I'm pretty new, had my tank up and running for about 3 months now.
I'm willing to offer up help in getting something going too...

Maybe we could post flyers at the Reef, and other fishy places in town?

drop me an e-mail, and lets see what we can do! rachelsreefak@yahoo.com
=)

[AlaskanDiver]

OK, All you Alaskans out there...

We are going to try to get something together!
Lets meet and see what peoples interests are, frag trades, group online buys, social, etc.

May 1, 2008 at the Kaladi Brothers at the Tidal Wave in Anchorage!

Please cross post where ever you want to =)

I cant take all the credit, tracer has been helping too, he got me motivated!

[jcopp]

Where is the tidal waveJason Kaladai brothers?

[AlaskanDiver]

The Kaladi borhters is in the Tidal Wave book store, in Anchorage in the same strip mall that REI is in, by Minnesota/Spenard, there is also an Alaska Club there, and a few other small stores.

[Ron Dog #1]

Seen the flyer up but could not make the meeting. For those that would like to do some trading I am open on saturdays and sundays. I have a 33 prop tank running with hard and soft corals. Lots of Monties, Arco's, Xenia, anthlia, colts, spaggetis, caps, and shrums. I also have a 120 and 2 each 150 completely set up and could possibly trade colonies. I alos have many zoos. My duncans have just started to prop. I also have an assortment of acans 30 to 40 each that I am willing to sell.

Many lights as well, metals and compacts. excuse the spelling it has been a long day..

[Shiftster]

i could not make it i was working and had a meeting after. i am still moving as well so i dont have the time but would love to here how it went

[AlaskanDiver]

Well for those of you who missed out there was 5 people there, a small following so far, but it was a really great start. We talked about a lot of diffrent things and ideas, and the conversation will continue into cyber space. tracer has started a website www.alaskafragswap.com that we can use as a place for the club to post messages and share information. Come check it out, sign-up, and then you can get on the forum there to see what we are talking about! With summer, we all agreed, meetings will not be so formal or frequent, but hope to gain at least a message board following, so this fall, we will try to have another meet/greet. Help get the word/name out there so we can keep this going!

[ak turbo]

ron dog love to get some of those acans i have about 35 to 40 arcos ,monti,acan and lots of zoos there not big enough to frag .hopeful by winter they wil be frag worthy.happy fishing its summer time in alaska.

[Mr.X-Ray]

We now have about 150 people in AK signed in on the site.

http://www.alaskafragswap.com/

Come join us! BTW most are in Anchorage and Mat-Su valley but I'm in FNSB along with a few others.

[Misfit6669]

Wow, you guys have come along way. I moved to North Pole, AK about 5 years ago and moved away about 3. It's kinda amazing how many people I have met from NP since I left. What is it, about 2k that actually lives there? Sounds like it's been a warm winter for you guys so for. I was talking to my buddy from Palmer today and he says you guys were just getting to -40.

[Mr.X-Ray]

It really has been an easy winter in North Pole (where I live also). Crossed -20F once or twice and just now hit -40 today, most of the time hovering around zero'ish.

[Jstdv8]

Hey X ray - Its salty from AK fragswap :wave:
good way to get people involved. Hope you make it down from North Pole for the Jan meeting :)

[Jstdv8]

Alaska frag swap meeting this Saturday. go to www.alaskafragswap.com for details.
