I think I am going to check out some of the stores that Ive read about on here this weekend. I used to go over to new world all the time and let them suck all the money away... been tryin to avoid bringing my wallet over there.
Is there any type of local reefer group/gatherings around the area? Would be cool to check out what other people have been up to.. maybe trade some frags, sand etc...
I think right now, the best way to meet people in person would be to get involved with a group buy. There have been a bunch of successful buys, and in addition to the discount on frags and shared shipping, most people bring frags to trade as well as bags of caulerpa and sand.
