Any WI - fox valley area members?

[atraperegrinus]

The reef club forum for my area has been dead for what seems ~ 2 years, does anyone know of any groups in my area by chance?

edit: i know wireefsociety but that's Milwaukee and southern Wisconsin. That's a much further drive then i wish to take regularly.

There is the Madison area reef society (MARS), but that is hit or miss IMO.

We have one started at our LFS (pet department at Ace hardware). Pretty big pet department and saltwater section. We have people that have joined it from all over. It's located in Weston (next to Wausau, WI). It's not really a part of the LFS, it just got started by a couple of guys that run the saltwater department and it's just easier to have meetings there.

It was just started up, but eventually want to have meetings, frag swaps and such. If you are interested you can join it on FB here...

applied to join the group, closer at least.

I'll also look into the madison one, but thats pretty far away aswell.

It's weird there's not more activity in the appleton area, there's a few nice stores here so there is at least a good size handful of people in the hobby in my general area.

I am from Spooner, Way up about hour and a half north of Eau Claire. I am also interested in this.

 

[atraperegrinus]

keeping this alive to hopefully find some more locals!

If all else fails hopefully you will find enough locals to start your own group.

yeah that was my goal, but I have yet to find someone within a 30 mile radius of me yet. If i could find a small group i'd def make a facebook group or something.

There is the Wisconsin aquarium group on facebook. It is a mix of fresh and salt, mostly fresh. It has folks from all over the state.
