Hello All,

My name is Jason. I know that this probably isn't the proper forum for this but I wasn't sure where else to put it.

I was previously setting up a 120RR but had to sell it for various reasons. Now, I am in the process of aquiring a 24g Nano Cube DX.

I want to get in with a club, but I'm not sure how far I wish to travel. I know there is a club in Virginia Beach, your club in Roanoke and also another club in Hampton. I was wondering if anyone knows of any other Virginia clubs out there. I live about a half-hour west of Richmond, so you can see how far it would be for me to drive for meetings or swaps or what-not.

If I can't find any others, I'm going to probably have to join one of your clubs and yours is the only one with a forum. Like I said, sorry if this isn't the right forum, but I may "possibly" be joining your club if I can't find any others...unless another is closer to me.

Thanks,
Jason

Hopeful Reefer, there is a Richmond Reef Club on RC I think if you go to Richmondreefclub.com it will take you there. Or you can look under RC Forums. You also live near some great fish stores. You have to check out Atlantis Aquariums Inc. at 10619 Patterson Ave. Richmond Va. You don't know how lucky you are. Michael R

Thanks alot man...I will check them out...sorry for hijacking your forum... :rollface:

As for the stores...I've been checking them out online...as for the one on Patterson Ave...I work for a private ambulance service, Amelia Ambulance Service...we have our main ambulance station on Patterson right off of Rt. 288, so I will definitely have to check that store out soon...

BTW, while we are speaking of stores in the Richmond area...do you have any recommendations of which ones to patronize often and which ones to never patronize? I never rely on anything the people tell me on the phone, always want to hear from someone on RC to see if it is true or not...word of mouth is always the best form of advertizing in my opinion.

Hopeful Reefer, check with the people in the Richmond Reef Club but I have been to 3 stores in your area that were very nice. It has been some time though. Marvin is the owner of Atlantis Aquarium and that store is a 10 on a 1 to 10 scale. Just be prepared to spend some money because you are going to go crazy there. The Richmond Reef Club also has meetings about once a month. Check it out. Michael R
