Excepting New Members?

[ReefnAv]

Hi all!

I'm new to the SW Reef Addiction and stumbled upon this forum! I never realized that there was so many reef nerds in the Sac area! And to boot, you meet right here in Folsom!

I would love to become a member and meet some new friends.

How does one do that?

I hear there is also a discount at the LFS's?

Where have you been all my life!?!?!

Here's something I wrote in this thread. BTW - no one her is addicted to the hobby.


-----------------------

Welcome. You have already started being a "member" by contributing to this forum. There's a lot of great people in the club who are willing to give you free advice (even when you didn't ask for them ;-) ). Our meetings are on the third Friday of each month at the Roundtable Pizza located at 9500 Greenback Lane, Folsom, CA. The meeting starts at 7AM - but people a lot of people show up around 6:30ish to order pizza and socialize. When ordering pizza, tell them that you are with the MARS club, and they will give you 10% off. Also - some of the LFS give MARS member discount when you have a membership card.

Back to the meeting - the new BOD recently introduced a new format for the meeting. The first 30 - 45 minutes is dedicated to Q&A - which is great for newbies (and oldies). The meeting is also a great place where people sell and buy corals for dirt cheap. I strongly recommend that you make it to the meetings if possible. Once again - welcome aboard.

Lastly, there definitely are a bunch of reef nerds here. What a bunch of dorks

I agree. The worse ones are those who have reef tanks at work and at their GF's home. How pathetic... now I have to get back to my water change.

Hey! I resemble that remark! I have a tank at work and I have a holding tank at my fiance's house in case I buy something while I am there. (She doesnt live around me>)
