Looking for other people in the Tampa Bay Area who are interested in talking / meeting about their tanks.
We are still very new to this hobby and any advice would be helpful.

sure. but i hope you have alot of frags. right now its up to 580 on the big e.
and to make you even more anoid at me i just got another on this morning at sear essentials in stpete. i was on a waiting list and someone did not pick theres up so i was next on the list.
i would not worry about it to much. if you watch ---- they are coming down alot in price already and soon they will be everywhere in the normal stores. i'm guessing that inanotehr 2 weeks they will not be as hard to come by

So, it looks like we are all going to meet in 2 weeks and go visit some of the local stores.
We are going to make our own food this weekend for the fish. Going to the store to buy some shrimp, scallops, salmon and any other ideas.. going to add 4 teaspoons of water and a drop Extreme Garlic and Centepeded for protein add it all into a food processor and then pour it into small ice cube trays and freeze.
We never did this before, but the kids are really looking forward to this project.
