Just saying hi

[jfl14609]

I have been into reefing for about a year and a half from rochester ny and am going to be moving out to phonix soon and was wondering how reefkeeping is out there. It looks as though you have a great group very informed.

you'll love the frag meets. you meet alot of nice people and get all sorts of great corals for very cheap. There are also guest speakers that do a great job.

great we have them here as well we actually just had a meeting with marc levenson (melev) about acrylic work

I think you will find that we have a very active and involved group of reefers out here in the wild west. The group is growing by leaps and bounds and we are working on having two group meetings and get togethers every month on different weekends and different sides of town to accomadate everyone. Everybody is welcome to either meeting and we have attendance by folks to both. Great places to swap stories, corals and just general fun and comraderie. So pack up your tank we will be waiting for you.

well I definately feel better about the move knowing I will be able to restock my tank for a reasonable price I was a little worried about getting corals up here I have been in a club for a long time and we get some great deals

I'm new too, but welcome!

Welcome. There are some great colonies down here to frag from and the responsiveness from other members is outstanding.

You have some awesome reefers in your area!

Plenty of quality in AZ too.

My nephew lives in Buffalo and attends some of the swaps from time to time. When I visit we always hit that store. Can't think of the name but its a good one.

I hope you get to wait till October to move.

sounds like you have a great group here I look forwrd to meeting everyone when I get out there. it probobly wont be till a bit later in the year but its never to early to meet new people. kristen whats your nephews name maybe I know him. I am part of a group of reefers here called the upstate reef society and I beleive we are the only group that does the meetings

Hey.. I just thought I'd put in my .02 here... I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the reefers here in AZ. It's a great group of people. On a sidenote... I'm also a local reefer and a Realtor. If you're interested in rentals or the housing market when you decide to move here, or want a heads up before you move here, please feel free to PM me. I'd love to help you out if I can.

I appreciate all the help. my father in law is also a realtor in phoneix so hopefully he can help us out

 

[kirstenk]

His name is Kris and his RC name is toothlesswonders, I think. He does not post much on the URS forum. He has a baby and other stuff going on but he does enjoy reefing. I need to call him.

Dave Morel was from the same area and into URS.

 

[jfl14609]

what a small world here we are on exact opposite sides of the country and already have reefing contacts haha
