I'm a Vet, Work on Eglin. Do we have any other reefers in the area?

I was just going to post about Eglin. Being from FWBHS I thought I'd check to see what's reefin' at the world's biggest base.

I might be a little bit of a distance to trade Frags.

I tried joining that forum multiple times and Every time it requests an email confirmation to be sent to activate my account. I click "send confirmation" and it says "oops something went wrong please try again later" been doing this for a few weeks..

Yes I had many problems with that forum too.

I'm over at Tyndall.

I recently retired and moved here to Eglin for work. I have always wanted a reef aquarium but never wanted to invest in one while I was active due to all the moves.

The wife and I got a 33g Biocube to see how we do with it. It's been running for 9 months and I'm already thinking of upgrading. I would really like to get the Seriphos Drop Off 98g Tank. I can't find too many reviews on it though.

On a local note, has anyone shopped at Elite Aquatics? I actually really like them. The location seems shady but the guy who owns it is a Vet and takes really great care of his corals.

That's funny... comparing FWB to LA where I am now, I can't remember a shady area there. Racetrack road was about the most "shady", and now I think of it as a quiet small town street.

Just found this thread. Zup everyone , I'm at Eglin by way of Tyndall (thanks Hurricane Michael) and have a 29g nano at the house in FWB. Good to see theres a small group of AD reefers local to the area.

I heard a lot of bomb operations are going to Hill, from Eglin. Maybe some reefs can go with them and show them how southerners do it.

russ6800 · 06/07/2019, 05:40 PM

I am another vet that works on Eglin and am glad to see some other reefers locally

Time for some frag swaps

If any one is interested I'll be selling a 45g cube (drilled,center overflow) with stand including a trigger sapphire 20g cube sump in the coming months as I upgrade. Looking for $250, as the aquarium has scratches and some are a bit deep from previous owner. Open to trades on nice sps sticks as well. Figured I'd put here first before it goes open to the masses in other forums/sites.
