Any Reef Keepers in South GA (Valdosta)
 
Are there any reef enthusiasts in or around Valdosta GA?

I live in Kingsland/St. Mary's area. The closest reef club is in Jacksonville, but I would love something in south GA. Let me know what you think. PM if you can - Nate

Yup, but you knew that. I live in brunswick. I am a member of nfmas in jax as well. We have members from as far north as brunswick, and south as far as St. Augustine. We do have a member in kingsland as well. I know it is a bit of a drive to jax, but come to a meeting sometime. It's free, and lots of nice folks attend. For more info on the next meeting, checkout nfmas.org

RayCity,

Yep, right here in good old Valdosta. I guess you know about Exotic Fish here...best place.

I even like the fish in Raycity...at the Millpond!

Digital1,
is your 100 a reef?

Digital1 12/22/2006 08:45 AM

Getting there slowly...
2 BTA's, clump of Green star Polyps, Blue shrooms, Red Shrooms, Pulsing xenia, tons of dusters, and a zoo that I'm not to sure of.
2 Maroon clowns that live in a semblance of harmony, foxface, yellow tang, pajama cardinal, lawnmower blenny, and a coral beauty for livestock.
Cleanup is done by a single sand sifting star, brittle star, serpent star, a couple mexicans, with snails and blue/red crabs to finish. Hitchhikers consist of a "black" urchin, and one bristle worm (one that I saw that is).
Lighting is with 4-VHO's 3 Actinic, one white, so I have held off on stony's until I am more comfortable with my setup, first sw and all.
Sooo, yes, it's a reef, but not a good one yet!?!

raycityboy1 12/22/2006 09:03 AM

Wow sounds great. How old is it? My newly converted 100 is a reef that has been reborn for the 3rd time in six years. All the LR is original (6 years running). I did all the coral stocking though. And your right, around here Exotic Fish is the best. I am starting to strech my search now that I have become more comfortable owning a reef. I heard stuff about a place in Ablany and one in Thomasville. I am going to Gainesville in not too long, to trade some frags. There is just not a lot of people around here that have reefs, but I know I'm not the only one in Valdosta buying this stuff. Who made you 100 Gal?

pm sent

raycityboy1 12/22/2006 09:19 AM

none of my corals are more than 9 months in my possession, all my big ones came with setups.

raycityboy1 12/22/2006 09:21 AM

I'm still a newbie, I have just been very fortunate to have only lost 3 corals since I sarted.

raycityboy1 12/22/2006 09:41 AM

Digital1, are you on?

kweidner1 12/29/2006 04:34 PM

jesup ga
 
I'm from Jesup, There are tons of reefkeepers in Brunswick and Savannah. That's not too bad of a drive for you.

raycityboy1 12/29/2006 04:36 PM

yeah its still about 3 hours, same as jacksonville and crestview. Another hour and I could be in ATL. Jesup isn't far at all from me.

drgriff 01/10/2007 03:33 PM

I live in Douglas. Have 2 reef tanks but right now I'm not in a club, too far to drive. Just surf online with questions or problems. I drive to Savannah to Exotic Underworlds to buy livestock because he has the best tanks I have seen in Georgia and N. Florida.

raycityboy1 01/10/2007 03:34 PM

Gainesville was nice. I am going to check out Jville in two weeks.

Tons of reefkeepers in brunswick? Would be interested in meeting a few. I know there has to be a couple, but haven't met anyone other than a few people who keep fowlr tanks.

Also, try some stores in jax for livestock. Last time I was at exotic underworlds in savannah (been a over a year now), they were limited to softies for coral. Do they sell acros now?

rustybucket145 01/23/2007 01:28 PM

I'm in valdosta!!!

raycityboy1 01/23/2007 01:30 PM

hell yeah

rustybucket145 01/23/2007 01:38 PM

We might just have the beginnings of an all out Reef Club here!!!

If any of you guys are interested.......

I'll organize! PM me your name and email address or other contact and I'll try to start getting a club together.

raycityboy1 01/23/2007 02:04 PM

I would love that but there aren't many valdosta reefers online or at least not on RC yet b/c they don't know it exsists.

rustybucket145 01/23/2007 02:26 PM

Ha! true.... so true.....

I'm all for getting a group together for a frag swap. I'm sure I could get permission at a LFS to host it.

raycityboy1 01/23/2007 02:28 PM

Hell, I have been trying to do that for months. I finally had to connect with some folks in Jville and Gville. I felt like I was the only reefer in Valdosta but I knew I wasn't the only one buying this stuff.

raycityboy1 01/24/2007 11:12 AM

Rusty,
Please clean out your PM box, you aren't recieving my messages b/c its full and you have opted not to get emails from the site telling you that its full. I have been trying to send this info all morning. This is the only way I know how to get ahold of you.

rustybucket145 01/24/2007 12:35 PM

Sorry bout that, it's empty now. I'll pm you my email address.
