Moving to Atlanta

[dball711]

Hi All, moving to Atlanta in about 4 weeks and wanted to start checking out the reef scene here. Hope to make some new friends and find the best places for supplies and livestock.

Iv'e been in reef keeping for 30 years, manufactured filtration systems and built acrylic tanks for a few years. I love this hobby and cant wait to get a tank set up after we settle in.

Yes I will be joining, sounds like the discount alone is worth it but it looks like the club has so much more to offer.

I have been cruising the forums for about a month and I really like what I am seeing. Very glad to see a bunch of reef addicts, always a good crowd. Moving from the Chicago area and was very active in a reef club there, attended a lot of swap meets buying and selling. I love this hobby.

Cant wait to get there, about 4-5 weeks out, company relocation. I am really looking forward to exploring the shops and attending some club events, are frag swaps done from time to time?

I was building them for some fellow reefers, family members and reef swap meets.

Yes I have it bad, going through withdrawal since I broke down my last tank a week ago. Sold my SPS and moved my softies, gorgonians and sea whips to my sisters octopus tank to babysit till I can move them.

From Dunwoody you are smack dab in the middle of all the good ones. If you go up I-85 you have Nemo, Atlanta Aquarium and Avarium. If you go up GA 400 you have Sea Atlanta, Marine Design and Pure Reef. If you head over to I-75 and head north you have Optimum, Creation Reef and Imagine Ocean. Head east (great old band by the way) and you have another Nemo and Deep Blue. I am sure I am missing some but those are the ones I am aware of.
