Any REEFERS in the Nashville, TN area ???

[boots]

I'm looking for some people in the Nashville area
that are in the hobby.

I'm about two hours from Nashville, but i'm still very new to reef keeping and don't have much to swap

. Hopefully it won't be too long though.

Hi Michelle, Nice to meet u what kind of tank do u have? I'm just getting back into the hobby myself its been a couple of years.

 

[Michelle50]

Hi, nice to meet you too. I have a 55gal. and big dreams!

This hobby is so expensive and i'm a college student, so it's really expensive. At this time I only have a few corals, a torch, hairy mushrooms and a small Durasa (sp?) clam. My other inhabitants include a tomato clown, yellow tang (both are about 4 years old), golden head gobie, royal gramma, feather duster and several snails, and a few blue leg hermits. Next week, I'll be getting a order in of some more corals and inverts, hopefully that will go well and I'll be able to add them to the list of inhabitants.

Well I must say that u are off to a very nice start!

where do you buy most of your corals etc. around this area I have noticed that REEFING is not very popular down here.

 

[Michelle50]

There are a couple of stores near here one in Jackson, Tn and one in Lexington, Tn. They are small stores that carry mostly softies and polyps. I am giving the ordering off the net a try. There is a topic on this message board that rates online dealers, im going with www.marinedepot.com I got my LR from them and was pleased. What about your tank?

I live just outside of Nashville and have a 25gal. and I'm in the process of setting up a 120.
I have a green clown goby, mushrooms, a torch coral, meat coral, and a candy coral in the 25gal.
I just have water and sand in the 120. I buy my corals and inverts from the Aquatic Critter.

Nice to meet u all I'm glad to see that I'm not
the only REEFER in Mid TN are

I was hoping
to get to know a few people and maybe trade stuff

Anyone else out there?

 

[ReefSig]

Yep, I'm here in Franklin....I'm in the process of setting my 70 gallon reef as well. By the way- I've bought a ton of stuff from marinedepot, and thus far they've been great!

 

[NoviceReefer]

I'm another reefer in Franklin. I have a 75 gallon that has been set up for about 9 months.

Aquatic Critter is one of the best LFS around. I've traveled quite a bit and visited LFS in several other cities. AC is far better than most. Premium Aquatics and Marine Depot are my choices for drygoods.

I don't have much to trade but could manage some mushrooms and xenia. I would look forward to some sort of meeting and education session though.
