Nytelighter October 21, 2013 October 21, 2013 What's good folks? Been lurking in the background here on the site for about two months and finally decided to take the plunge. I've only been in the aquarium game for about two years now. Started out with a 5 gallon freshie, graduated to a 55 gallon freshie, and then I ventured into the salty world with a 20L and then finally onto my 40B FOWLR that I have had up and running since June this year. Hope to meet some cool folks, grasp some new knowledge, and continue to enjoy this expensive but yet addictive and fulfilling hobby.
smallreef October 21, 2013 October 21, 2013 Another person down here, one day someone's gonna have to move their shop to woodbridge area! Good to have another down here, hope you can make it to the meeting Saturday.....
Nytelighter October 21, 2013 Author October 21, 2013 Noooooo!!!! I'm actually going up to NY this weekend for a reunion. Would have loved to make it to the meeting. And yes, it would nice to have a shop down this way, I've been religiously making a trip to Quantum Reefs every weekend as a part of my routine. I think if we had a store closer I would go broke!!! LOL!!
JR-Tanked150 October 22, 2013 October 22, 2013 Welcome, have you been to the one in Manassas. They have some nice frag there. It would be great to have a store in this area, but I agree we would go broke.
Valeria October 22, 2013 October 22, 2013 Wooohooo another member in South 95!!! Welcome! I'm in woodbridge.
mrn10 October 22, 2013 October 22, 2013 Welcome! We have been on WAMAS for about 2-3 months now and LOVE it!! We are located in the Dumfries area and work in Fredericksburg. Like the others have said, it's nice to find locals!! Let us know if you are looking for anything! That goes for everyone in our area!
Nytelighter October 22, 2013 Author October 22, 2013 Thanks for the warm welcome guys!!! Haven't been to the store out in Manassas yet. Are you talking about Incredible Corals?
smallreef October 22, 2013 October 22, 2013 Incredible corals yes! Great store and about the same distance as QR from my house....
Nytelighter October 22, 2013 Author October 22, 2013 Hmmm…I might have to check those guys out. Haven't put in corals in my tank yet though, need to upgrade my lights first.
JR-Tanked150 October 22, 2013 October 22, 2013 yes, I'm talking about Incredible Corals. We just got some things from them this weekend, our kids love his dog. They are very informative.
smallreef October 22, 2013 October 22, 2013 I have to say we're within an hour from a few of the best LFS' I've ever been to...and there's a few I'd make a longer drive to go visit also... So if your going to manassas see Incredible Corals and Blue Ribbon Koi (BRK) there's also another shop down the street Aquatic Obsessions okay, just not as large of a selection as the other 2 Then of course you've been to QR Then a bit farther out is Fins and Feathers and Marine Scene.. .these are the only ones I've hit in the year or so I've been here...a few other good places in MD I hear...and of course we have another few great online vendors Other than living in Florida where I had a few great LFS' this area has really had the best selection of anywhere I have lived...(Georgia being the worst, and WA state was okay only for the fact the 1 LFS near me was awesome)
Nytelighter October 22, 2013 Author October 22, 2013 Wow… Never knew there were than many Marine LFS around. Took me a while before I even noticed that there was a Pets Plus on the corner right by my house. They have a small selection but their tank husbandry is lacking. Livestock constantly have ich or dead livestock left in the tanks. And there prices are shamelessly high!!!
wildcrazyjoker81 October 22, 2013 October 22, 2013 And let's not forget about Richard at ERC. He is not local, but his corals are top notch as well, and he is always willing to go he extra mile for you getting whatever you want.
roni October 22, 2013 October 22, 2013 Welcome, I'm down here in stafford as well. There are a few of us down here in Fburg and Stafford. ERC = exotic reef creations. Wamas sponsor with great LPS.
08can-am October 22, 2013 October 22, 2013 Welcome. Another one south! No one down my way yet? courtesy of my sweet S4
Origami October 22, 2013 October 22, 2013 Where is ERC located?ERC, Exotic Reef Creations, is in Ijamsville, MD, just outside Frederick. Sent from my Rezound on Tachyon 1.1 using Tapatalk
Nytelighter October 23, 2013 Author October 23, 2013 Thanks Surf. Really looking forward to picking everyone's brains on here. Might start a tank build thread soon.
