Hi , im Rachael and I just registered with this forum in hopes to find some Upstater's. I live in Virginia beach and im moving back to binghamton in a month or so, here in VA you can go to any shop and buy your salt water or RO/DI by the gallon very cheap and so I do. I am worried that I cannot bring my reef tank home with me because I dont know of any shops near binghamton that sell atleast RO , Id be willing to try mixing the salt myself but dont want to use my well water obviously. Any advice or info on shops I may not know of would be great. The local shop here is only offering 600.00for my setup .... which has cost me atleast 2500.00 just in eqipment and livestock. I dont want to sell anyway , I really love the hobby . and have grown attached to all my fish ..ive had the same ones for over a year now. I know I could buy an RO/DI unit , and in the future I would , but im in the middle of a move during the holidays , I dont have a few hundred to throw at it right now.
Back to binghamton, please help

This is all Southern Tier people, as the name dictates. I'm sure they could help you. We are now, lucky enough to have ABC Reefs in Syracuse. Not sure what Northern PA and Binghamton have to offer you, but these guys will be able to help you.

They sell ro/di, or salt water ? Thanks I appriciate it , I really cant imagine leaving it behind . Ive worked really hard to get it where its at and Id hate to bring it home and have it go badly bc of water quality issues. I guess im spoiled by buying the water but at 60 cents per gallon I really never felt the need to start mixing my own .

OK, first off - you move FROM Binghamton TO VA Beach.
I just get my water from Wies (used to be Giant) - they have self serv RO/UV machines there - PITA to start a whole tank, but it is how I filled my 75. $0.33 if you use your own jugs.
I have ~12 gal jugs and one 5 gal jug you can borrow once your up here to help out if you like as I am in Endicott

Does that mean I have to pick? agh! I absolutely would like to keep them all, um I guess I would have to keep my pair of clowns 1 ocelaris 1 black perc. 1 dragon goby 1 lawnmower blenny. the rest I could part with If I had to . as for corals....the 2 toadstools , my hammer froggie and torch...idk if I could part with my zoanthids, I have an assortment of those. and I would like to keep the clowns BTA. oh and my super red mushrooms id have to keep . But ALL THE OTHER corals I maybe could let go of if I had to , im not sure I understand what your getting at though? But thanks ahead of time

it's easier to move less than more

Only head north with the things you absolutely can't part with.
