Jonathan's Reef May 11, 2015 May 11, 2015 Hello everyone, I moved up here about a year ago after graduating from the University of Georgia with a master's in marine science to be an analyst at GEICO. I've made it a year without a tank, but I'm aching for some ocean in my life. I've kept multiple salt and freshwater tanks with fish only, reef, and planted setups. I'm starting to plan my next, and I'm looking for great nano ideas. That, or someone who had a great idea, is upgrading now, and is selling that great setup. Looking forward to getting to know the community! Jonathan
smallreef May 11, 2015 May 11, 2015 Welcome! Lots of decent setups for sale in the members section a lot! P.s. I was taking some marine biology classes at a CC in Jax, FL and we went up to GA to sit in on some classes and then go shrimping on a boat from the marine biology department!
Jonathan's Reef May 12, 2015 Author May 12, 2015 Thanks for the welcome! I'm considering becoming a member to check out the for sale content, but I'm not sure. Kinda thinking I'd do that once I got something setup. It's a conundrum. Smallreef, I think I've been on that boat shrimping too. Did you go out of Brunswick or Sapelo Island? I spent a good bit of time out on the Georgia coast doing research. It's a pretty cool ecosystem.
JR-Tanked150 May 12, 2015 May 12, 2015 Become a member before setting up, the sale page you can get everything you need to help you. I really wished I had become a member before I bought my set up.
Jonathan's Reef May 12, 2015 Author May 12, 2015 Thanks, JR. Is there a thread around here somewhere that talks about what being a member is all about? I know the Atlanta Reef Club used to have regular meetings with raffles, and of course, there were all the special threads. I see the for sale section is also members only. Am I missing any other big ones?
Jonathan's Reef May 12, 2015 Author May 12, 2015 Actually, I found details under "Join." What do other members find to be the best part of being a member here?
monkiboy May 12, 2015 May 12, 2015 welcome to WAMAS and without reservation the small investment to become a member will pay for itself hundreds times over. do it today and jump in! let us know if we can help with anything. always happy to assist.
JR-Tanked150 May 12, 2015 May 12, 2015 Frags sales, The meeting are great, frag sales, equipment, the people on the board are great alway willing to help you, did I mention the frag sales, oh and once a year frag fest (free frag), discount at some of the local stores.

smallreef May 12, 2015 May 12, 2015 Yes, sapelo island... And really the best part of being a member is the community here... But as Rebecca mentioned the frags that other members sell are usually a great deal

Jonathan's Reef May 15, 2015 Author May 15, 2015 Thank you all for the info and welcomes. I've just signed up as a member, so it's time to start putting together a reef!
Octoman May 16, 2015 May 16, 2015 Hi Jonathan, I'm a Georgia boy myself. Got my bachelors at UGA and my masters in marine science at Savannah State. We'll have to meet up some time and talk shop! I have a newish 12g, haven't updated my build thread in a while though, will have to fix that soon. Welcome!!
Jonathan's Reef May 22, 2015 Author May 22, 2015 Hey Octoman. Sorry for the slow response, but I'm glad to find another GA fan! You watch football? Season is starting soon, and my wife (Also a UGA alum) and I are always happy to watch with other fans! I'd like to see your build thread too. I'll have to check it out.
Jonathan's Reef May 22, 2015 Author May 22, 2015 Yes, sapelo island... And really the best part of being a member is the community here... But as Rebecca mentioned the frags that other members sell are usually a great deal Hey Smallreef, sorry for the slow response. I miss Sapelo. Living out there... those were simpler days! Thanks for the welcome and the advice. I've joined, and I'm asking questions/seeking purchases left and right. I'm hoping to have a setup soon!

Jonathan's Reef May 23, 2015 Author May 23, 2015 No +1 necessary. I signed up last week! I'm scouring the sale posts.
Jonathan's Reef May 23, 2015 Author May 23, 2015 I created a generic post here: http://wamas.org/forums/topic/73211-wtb-sleek-20-40g-setup/?view=getnewpost I'm leaning toward a 60 cube now, but I'm not certain.
