Welcome to our new club.

SeanT · 04/07/2003, 02:49 PM

Hello to all.

Well, this is a brand new reef club by the name of Coastal Carolina Reef Keepers.

Most of you in this area probably know by now that all the action happens in Charlotte.
BUT WE HAVE THE OCEAN HERE!!! LOL.

I am also a member of NC Frags, which I encourage all of you to become. Lot of knowledgeable people in that.

Basically, I formed this club because an 8 hour round trip to the Charlotte meetings is not a desirable thing for me.

This club will (hopefully) focus on trading, tips, hepling out feloow reefers. Ya know, the norm.

To join, post, email me, PM me, or go here: Carolina Coast Reefkeepers.
The more the merrier.
Regardless of location in the Carolina's or Virginia, all are welcome to join.

Thanks all.
ANd Happy Reefing.

That is cool.

If it is warm enough we may go down to the sound and get ourselves some free nassirus snails.
They grow here.
Can get them for about 10 for $2 online but then there is shipping.
They are excellent sand sifters.

woodworker · 04/11/2003, 03:54 AM

Would also like to join up. Am just starting up my tank getting my live rock next week. Had salt tanks back in the 80's, but this is entirely different. Anyway also trying to get some live sand the only LFS around here is more freshwater and critters then marines and no coral to speak of. Live over here by Pinehurst but to go often to my sister's place on Topsail. If you need any info on me to join up let me know.

Hi Ridealong,
Senat you a PM and Email.

Coral Dilema · 12/05/2003, 05:18 AM

I 'Tenatively' want to join. Im in Youngsville NC, about 30 miles northeast of Raleigh. My 15g nano has been up for 4 weeks, I will be putting some CPR nano frags in today from www.seacrop.com and should have the last of my cured fiji rock from premium aquatics in today also. I dont think I will be trading anything anytime soon, and I dont know about my ability to travel too far for meetings, I have a very tight work schedule. My wife and I both work full time jobs, on different shifts, and we split up the babysitting of our 2 year old that way . . . .full schedule but would love to get in a group and learn some more about this hobby.

Kitzo · 12/11/2003, 12:41 PM

Hi CD,
Seeing as you are North of Raleigh, you might also want to checki into NCFRAGS (Charlotte and Raleigh-ish club) and RARE (aleigh Area Reef Enthusiasts.)
