I'm trying to start a local club. I will start handing flyers around town to get local participation and get to word out. Anyone who would like to help please pm me. I will also start another forum where anyone can post specs and pics on thier setups. I'm sure this will take some time to get started and get off the ground but any one who has questions or just wants to contribute lets rock out.

Thanks I'm sure it will be a small group and take a long time to get going but I got nothing but time.
And it is good to hear from you.

I'll be working on flyers to distribute at Stelas, Fish&Phipps and hopefully Pet sense. I also know there are other places such as Hastings and a few resturants that will allow you to post flyers. We will see what happens.
 
I would post it all over hollomanyardsales too. I sell some of by extra stuff on there and get a lot of email flow from it. Just a thought.

Here is the Club flyer I made and will be distributing around town and surounding area.
 
I live in Las Cruces at the moment, but we should be moving back to Alamogordo when my wife gets into Student Teaching. I would like to join the club, even though I do not currently have much in the way of SW. Just a 29 gal without the right lighting for corals, but I know I should be getting at least 1 light bar this month, after taxes. I hope to run at least 2 on the system...

I also have a 125 that I hope to set up in the future as a reef system... Unfortunately for that I need to get a top, light bars, protein skimmer, and I need to have it drilled to I can set up a sump/refugium under it.
 
Welcome AJBlout. Anybody can join tank or not and surrounding area also are welcome. The club is of course in it's infacny but as more members come on board we can have meetings, frag swaps and trips to aquariums.
My total system right now is less than 35gal so size doesn't always make the tank.
A 29gal can be great and a 125 can make for a great size reef setup. Certainly will allow for more fish selections.
If you want please post some pics to the other thread even if it is not completely setup. It is nice to see progress pics!
Post any thread or questions you have.

Thanks

Mitch,
Sorry about not posting any pics. My camera died on me the other day while taking pictures of my snakes... I am looking for a new one, since I need it for my summer job.
 
I did place posters around town only to find out I messed up on the name. One says ARMC, one AMRC and the other ARMRC.
Not sure what happened there but I'm going to blame it on my bum eye. I'll correct and post new ones soon.
 
Hello everyone!
Not really sure where I should be posting this, since I didn't see a dedicated introduction thread, so I'll post it here!


My name is Melissa, and I live here in Alamo. This will be my first ever reef tank. I've never had anything more complicated than a beta tank before. And since I'm not one to do something halfway, I'm looking for as much information as I can before I start. The man down at the fish store in town suggested I get a 55 gal. as a starter, and that seems appropriate so that's what I'm thinking of going with.

I have a whole ton of questions to ask and so I'm really thrilled to have found this group! (I found you on Hollomanyardsales.com, just by the way.) Looking forward to leaning with you all!

Welcome to the AMRC!!!
Melissa it is great to have a new member and welcome to an addictive hobby. Please do one favor and ask as many questions you have here on the site. I know both local places and am friends with both owners but you will find more accurate information on this site than any local store. I promise you that!! I don't think the local places will purposefully steer you wrong but they will none the less,give you incorrect information! Especially since you are starting a reef, you will need to gather a lot of information and pateints is key.

A 55gal will be just fine and if you want you can start a thread to document your progress. It is a great way to share your highs and lows (and there will be lows) in the hobby and allow others to learn from your experience.

I'm glad to see the ads are finding someone.

I have opened a facebook page for the club to try and find other members.
It is of course under Alamogordo Marine and Reef Club.
If you have trouble finding it let me know I can help but as of right now it is pretty empty.

Well I have still been trying hard at finding new member and have spoken to at least 5 others who are interested so hopefully we will see some new activity here soon. I've spoken to 3 in person and 2 thru email.

Lets keep our fingers crossed as more members would be great.
 
I know that there is a reef club for the El Paso/Las Cruces area. Maybe they have a few members who are here in alamo.
