Alaska Reef Club(start-up)

[IPT]

Hey man, I've been up here for 12 years. When I first got back into reefing tanks I wanted to get some stuff going on. A few guys got something going for a bit. There was pretty poor showing though (less then 10 people) and it fell apart pretty quickly. Personally I don't have the time myself right now but you should talk with Tim at his shop. They hosted a meeting there one or two times (the old shop). Good luck, hope you can get something going.

I agree, where do you do your shopping ? Live stock and equipment ?

I'm a recent addition to the area, and not set up yet. I need to find a smaller tank for the second floor. I'm not quite comfortable with my 120g up there. How are the local stores? Oklahoma had several good places in one area, so I'm probably a little spoiled.

That I know there is only two shops in town Alaska coral & fish and regal reef fish and coral..

Alaska coral just moved to a new shop a lot bigger then regal with a lot more equipment and more stuff in stock but it's half freshwater and have salt. The people there are pretty friendly and helpful a bit pricey but always have some nice stuff

Regal just open a few months ago ... They Have great looking coral frags of all types but a smaller store mostly would have to do orders for what u want
The live stock look healthier imo oh big plus is that their a lot cheaper in price

I'm new to Alaska as well. Moved to Palmer in September. I have my aquarium set up ready to go I just need to add LR, sand and inhabitants. I had an 180 gallon reef back home for several years, until the divorce that is LOL. Hopefully more Alaskan's will get into the hobby or the ones who are involved the hobby will get on the forum.
