Nice to see all the locals around that have saltwater. I just sold everything I had in my nano due to high cost of everything for upgrading and lack of interest a touch in this hobby.

I did keep my 1 gal pico going and you never know if the interest sparks me again. Wish I would have found this site sooner. Maybe I would have kept it going and did some major trading. Oh well I got a good dollar for my stuff, friends bought it off me.

Is there an actual club where you all attend meetings and such??

No actual club, although some cities do reefmeets for trading and conversation. Some places even do reef tours so multiple houses are visited to see their tanks.

In the Okanagan, the closest thing I've seen so far has been a frag swap.

I am from Vernon too! I am 19 and currently have a 90g mixed reef.. slowly turning into a more SPS dominated.. plan on upgrading to a 180g (48x36x24) this fall/winter.

Awe come on nazerine, I think you would be a great organizer for this...

One thing we all could do from Vernon and surrounding area is pick a date that is good with everyone and a place to meet and just use this first meet as a get to know one another and talk aquariums, fish etc and then maybe as time goes on we could setup a frag swap or sale for all those that would like to do so.

^ We should do that, but it should be a frag swap too. I mean, why not???

Mikee, glad to see yet another Vernon Reefer. If I may ask, how are you getting your SPS corals? Vernon isn't exactly a great place to find SPS. I've ordered from Coral Master (Snappy) and his frags were awesome if you are looking for more.

well if your looking to sell your 90 gallon later on keep me in mind lol!
We do need more of SW/FW group here! It would be nice. There is one for sure in kelowna for FW but not salt... I think. Ill get back to you with it
