New to WAMAS just moved from California with my nano reef

[Ezrider2]

Just moved to northern Virginia from Socal. I drove across country with my corals. Hoping to meet some local reefers and get involved in the local community. Trade some zoas or frags, share some tips. Thanks for reading and happy reefing!

Welcome! WAMAS is a great community. You'll definitely find plenty of livestock and equipment here. We have a meeting coming up on the 23rd if you can make it out.

Welcome! Post some pics when you get the chance. Love seeing other nano tanks

Not a stupid question! It is in Bethesda, MD, I know it is a bit of a drive for you, but trust me our meetings are worth it! http://wamas.org/forums/topic/77626-wamas-spring-2016-meeting-423-sanjay-joshi/

FYI. Meetings required a WAMAS membership. It's only $20/year and the best money you will spend in this hobby. It not only gives you access to the meetings (great speakers and vendors selling corals), but also our buying/selling/trading forum. That forum is a great place to find/get rid of livestock and equipment usually at great prices.

Hey Steve, welcome to WAMAS, this is a great club!

. Not a dumb question. Here is the meeting info:

 

Saturday, April 23, 2016

Where: North Bethesda Middle School
8935 Bradmoor Dr
Bethesda, MD 20817

 

And a link.

Actually, this meeting will not require a membership, you can buy tickets at the door, but I think they are $5, which is already a quarter of what a membership costs. The above information is correct, you do get access to the buy/sell/trade, as well as SWAP (Share the Wealth and Propagate) and you become part of, in my opinion, one of the best clubs available in this hobby.

 

Look forward to seeing some pictures of your setup, I also do nanos now!

Any suggestions for local store's? I checked out reef escape the other day in Fairfax.

King of Corals in Frederick, MD is definitely worth a trip. Owner hand picks most of his corals in FL.
