capsfan August 23, 2008 Share August 23, 2008 I'm WAY out in Round Hill, VA and I work in Reston. You think you're WAY out? I live in Winchester, Va. Anybody out here? Hello, My family and I have just moved to Winchester, Va. from El Paso, Tx. I know a few of you already and look forward to meeting many more members soon. I have about 25+ yrs in this hobby but never stop learning. I am the former president of the El Paso Marine Aquarium Society where we did some good work assisting the local zoo and educated the majority of hobbyists in that area to frag/purchase frags and or aquacultured livestock. You'll also see me on Reef Central under the same username; I moderate in forums, "Nano", "ReefClubs", "New to the Hobby", "Reef Fishes" and "Fish Only". I'm currently setting up a 12gal Aquapod with a 70watt DE. It has water and sand and hopefully the rock by this weekend (March 1st). I also have a RR 180 and a 58 sitting dry in the basement. I'm not sure if I'll keep the 180 but am fairly anxious to set up the 58 dedicated to a pair of clowns and host. Unfortunately that will have to wait until the basement is finished. See you guys at the next meeting... Yessssss! Finally someone near me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul in Virginia November 7, 2008 Share November 7, 2008 Also just moved to the area (Culpeper) from Cleveland and was active in the Cleveland Club. Looking for some stores to visit. I do realize there will be driving involved as Culpeper seems to located in the middle of nowhwere. Would Richmond be the closest for any saltwater stores? Thanks for any help!!

wdytat November 7, 2008 Share November 7, 2008 Welcome! I'm in Culpeper too. I definitely don't recommend our local fish store(s). It's well worth traveling for the quality at other stores in our area. Charlottesville has PetForum and Fredericksburg has Maru. At times they have some goodies, but I find myself traveling to BlueRibbonKoi in Manassas and Aquarium Company in Reston for the majority of my needs. Their staff, products, and prices are well worth the mileage. If you really feel like driving, I found a nice store down in Lexington - Lexington Pet World. I haven't found a need to visit Richmond yet, but I'd assume there are some treasures there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWyll March 4, 2009 Share March 4, 2009 Hello my name is William. I live in Suitland, MD. I'm just a few feet south of DC. I work in DC. I'm a complete newbie. This will be my second fish tank. My first salt water. My frest water has only been up for 6 months. I haven't decided yet whether the salt water will be a reef tank or just Fist with Live rock. But I have an empty 55g with the recommended equipment. I appreciate any advice, and I'm will post my 1,000 question in another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich March 5, 2009 Share March 5, 2009 Hi, I'm Mike. I live in Northern Silver Spring close to Burtonsville, and work in Downtown Silver Spring at the Discovery HQ building. I've been keeping reefs since highschool, I'd just about quit the hobby until three weeks ago when I relapsed and bought an Oceanic Ultimate 156g with a starphire glass front. Since then all I can do is eat breath and sleep reef tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggarza June 14, 2009 Share June 14, 2009 hello everyone. alex here. just introducing myself to another great group of reefers. i am currently a paid member of maast.org, a south texas reef society, where i currently serve on the board of directors. currently i am preparing for a major move from south texas back to the d.c. metro. i think we are set on the prince william, va area. don't know-still hashing it out. i have 5 years experience with reefkeeping and sadly will be breaking down my 95 gallon dt in preparation for the move. good news is that once we are settled in i will be putting together a newer, better tank. woohoo! as expected for all the photo junkies, i will start a build thread in the dedicated tanks forum. ~alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
