Hi

[Ryanqk]

Hi yall
I grew up in Sarasota most of my life and still visit family there regularly. I am currently a member of FMAS of Miami/Ft. Lauderdale. I have been reefing for 4 years now. I am interested in knowing about events in your club i might visit when i am in town, may be able to bring frags some time, since its a 3 hour drive. Would love to make contacts in my home area!
Thanks
Ryan

Gotta tell ya, this is a great group. I'm 2 hours away from them, but they started me on a trip I'll never leave. Very VERY nice group! Almost makes me want to move south!

Ya i got started at UNF in jacksonville (bio-reef engineering club), when i was in college but i transferred to FAU in boca. I remember Mote Marine and dissecting sharks fondly (eerrr stinky more than fondly)when i was in school in SRQ. Anyways do yall meet at mote or a school? Thanks guys

BTW some of our members like myself have permits to collect certain things from the keys which i frequent. I have successfully raised alot of this native stuff which i often have to prune or frag. so i can possibly bring some of that with me. In particular native zoa's, sponges, gorgonians, and macro-algaes

We meet at local members houses to discuss their tanks, swap stories, and just hang out. If people have frags, they will bring them to trade or just give to each other. It’s a great group of guys/gals.

Ryan, when you know you're going to be in town, Post it here, and some of us could get together, or you could try to make one of our meetings. I have lived in Sarasota County most of my life too, and have been diving, collecting etc most of that time. PM me. Steve.
