Jan September 26, 2009 Share September 26, 2009 (edited) I thought it would be nice to get together on a monthly basis to get to know each other, tour each others tanks and talk reef keeping. Anyone in the Falls Church/Alexandria/Annendale/Fairfax/DC areas interested? I'm in zip 22044. I chose these areas because they are so close to one another. It wouldn't be such a burden for folks living in these areas to connect with one another. Let me know what you think. If I get enough interested I'll set the date and start here in Falls Church.

BliffBlam September 26, 2009 Share September 26, 2009 I think thats an awesome idea, I just said in another thread that I would like to see this turn into a closer nit group instead of just a place for info and to buy things, since we are so close to one another. I would also like to see more socials were people could hang out and debate different ways on running and maintaining their tanks as there are so many different ways and personal opinions. This woul be of great help to people just getting started especially.Great idea jan. i am in 22204 arlington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazio92 September 26, 2009 Share September 26, 2009 I'm all for it! We use to do that in the Southwest Virginia Reef Club and it was a great time, which eventually turned into great friendships over the years and just plain fun times with everyone. My zip is 22102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan September 26, 2009 Author Share September 26, 2009 Oh this IS exciting . Okay, so I was thinking maybe a Sunday afternoon? Maybe we'll do something like how to handle new corals;inspecting and dipping? or how set up a QT? or how to frag and attach to frag plugs? or how to frag shrooms? or something?

steveoutlaw September 27, 2009 Share September 27, 2009 We used to do this periodically, but we kind of got away from it. Good idea bringing it back up Jan! I always liked the idea of a Saturday night and the host provides the cocktails!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkey18 September 28, 2009 Share September 28, 2009 I would totally be interested in doing this... I am in 22204 (Hey Bliff!) and still need to see jan's tank and would love to see others. Count me in... the Saturday evening thing also sounds cool, but Sundays works too. I'm in! Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanman September 29, 2009 Share September 29, 2009 I tried to get a couple of others in my general area interested in a 'tank tour' about a year ago (like the one we did in leesburg/ashburn a couple years ago), but didn't have much luck. Might have to try again. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate September 29, 2009 Share September 29, 2009 (edited) Not to hijack this thread or anything but I have never heard of anything like this for the small part of the club located in Maryland. Anyone? Jan, I might be able to make it on the 4rth. Edited September 29, 2009 by Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkey18 October 4, 2009 Share October 4, 2009 I would have loved to come Jan but it was just too short notice. I would like to suggest that we schedule several weeks out in order to get the highest attendance. I CAN make the 18th Laura I only had 1 person interested in getting together tomorrow her in Falls Church. I'd like at least 3 so I'm rescheduling for Sunday October 18th.

dano October 5, 2009 Share October 5, 2009 Jan... are you envisioning this as more of a social and just hanging out at one person's house or a tour of a few tanks in the area. If the latter, I would also be open to visits of my tank and at this point don't think there is a conflict on the 18th (I live about 4 blocks from Jan).

Jan October 5, 2009 Author Share October 5, 2009 Hi Dano, I was thinking more along the lines of hosting a tank tour with related reef discussion. Maybe you'd like to host one?
