I recently just set up a new tank, couple clownfish and 3 corals so far. I found 2 LFS's that have some coral and fish, still looking for people in the area that are into reef tanks.

Hey everyone, I had no idea this topic was on these forums! Great to see other vets and current service members in this hobby! I'm on terminal leave from the army currently and will be transferring to the NG. I was a medic for the last 3 and a half years at fort hood. We just recently moved back to Kentucky.

For you Eglin and Hurlburt people if you can make your way over to Pensacola there's a LFS there called Water World. From what I was told it's the best fish store on the northern Gulf Coast. They have a nice 400G display tank and an interesting selection. ... that's a bit of a drive for a fish store though

Agreed, that is a great store if you have time to trek out there.
There are two really good stores here, Matt's Coral Connection and Elite Aquatics of NWF, both in Fort Walton Beach. Elite is definitely more expensive than Matt's, but in their defense they also have a higher end coral selection. There is also Petland in Mary Ester. It's a small all animal type story, but with good prices. They literally saved me when my IM38 sprang a leak and I needed an emergency tank. The tank was less expensive in-store than Amazon. Worked for me.
Swapping/trading is also a great way to get new stuff - just throwing that out there in case there is any local interest.

Thanks for the response. I have visited the LFS around Eglin, not Water World. I'll have to check that place out. Mostly interested in meeting and knowing reefers in the area to trade with. Here are some pics of my systems.

I love it. I'm worrying now about my tank and I'm only going on two weeks of leave outside the area and trying to find someone to help that I trust is like beating my head against a wall. Currently in Rapid City SD.

Personally for a tank that large I wouldn't recommend it. Especially since you probably don't know or can't depend on hearsay of where your next duty station will be. It could be a days drive, but it could be cross country. You've got hours of breaking down, crating the tank, etc. I just did a six hour relocate and it was a pita. Mine was only 40 gallons, but even that was a bit stressful for them and me. Just my two cents, but no one wants to hear themselves say "what the hell was I thinking." Best to you whatever you decide. I'm in Florida between Eglin & Hurlburt.

I moved my tank CC from Pensacola, FL to La Habra, CA. I stopped twice, in Abilene, TX and Tucson, AZ, so it was a three day trip. My tank is a 29 gallon so it was easy to take down. However, I think theoretically it would be possible with that large of a tank. You'd definitely have to make sure you prep well though, and you'd want to double-check your ammonia levels. I got away with not checking mine because I transported my fish with my LR.
Though, I agree, in case you get stationed overseas or end up having to move from south Florida to Alaska, I think it would be wise to stick with smaller tanks.
