New to Boston

[sagecx]

Hi there i just wanted to introduce myself. I have just recently moved to Boston from Seattle to continue my education here and left behind my 220g reef . I have about 5 years experience reefkeeping and cant let go of the hobby so I'm starting up a 60g cube. I am looking forward to meeting some of you at the next BRS meeting.

Oh also I live in the Brookline area and was hoping somebody could recommend some local fish stores that are ideally in the general Boston area.

I will try to get some pics up once i get everything set up how i like it. Hopefully by the end of this week. It's pretty bare right now no fish and regretably only a few corals. Before i left Seattle i fragged a few of my favorite corals(lol a few turned into about 35 if you count types of zoas) and then sold/gave away the rest of the colonies. Then I had them packed up and flown up with me. Unfortunately the combination of a long airline delay and and a cracked tank that i had shipped up early lead to the survival of only about 7 of them . Lost basically everything but the zoas and suprisingly my duncans and 1 acan(figured the acan would have been the first to go) I know transporting corals is a longshot at best but i thought i had things well planned....lesson learned.

Anyways the survivors are looking better and tank has been up a month and holding parameters nicely. Will be adding some very nice rock i got from Marco soon and I will try to get pics along the way.

Oh I will be going to New England Law starting in a few weeks.

Welcome!

I'm still a newbie here as well, just getting started (2 months in) on a 70 gallon.

I'm a lawyer here in Wellesley and will probably be speaking at NESL at some point. Here's who I am:

Definitely look me up if you need any assistance.

Best,

Thanks Alan I'm sure i will have some questions once school starts. Let me know when you will be speaking at the school as well once you know.

As for the meeting this month i plan on attending just working out the transportation. Was wondering if anyone from the area carpools or would let me catch a ride with them, I will pay for the gas too

Welcome

Welcome to the Boston Reefers.
I'm Tom Barner otherwise known here as Oceanguy. I'm in the process of emptying a 220 reef tank as I am retiring and the tank is at my school. I have a couple of small fish and several corals that I'm getting rid of. Take a look at the Critters for sale. Some things will be free and some things at a very reasonable price. Let me know if you want anything.

Skipton's in Dorchester is a great place to buy things. I have also seen that Petco in Needham has a reefer's club member who is now taking care of their saltwater section and the things that I have bought there are great.

Send me an e mail if you are interested. I will be at school F.A. Day Middle School 21 Minot Place Newtonville, MA between 12 and 2:30 and possibly early Friday Morning

Thanks oceanguy for the offer. I would have definetly jumped on it if I had checked the forums earlier. Glad to hear you got everything out quickly though.

I'm planning on heading down to skiptons this weekend sometime. Get a pair of clowns or something. I'm so used to seeing clowns in my tank that it just feels so empty without them so they are high on my list.
