I've never started up an aquarium club but I was the Senate President for my college and clubs are basically all the same.
1. Try and get about 10 initial members to start so that you can have some input on what the clubs goals are.
2. Set up some set of rules or guidelines for the club, i.e. like a comstitution stating rules for members, dues, and goals.
3. Some extra advice
- Try advertising in local free newapapers, the ones that you find in local coffee shops. They have cheap ads that would be easier to afford. Also ask local fish shops to post signs in their stores.
- You might also wanna see if a store would sponor you, maybe giving your members like a 10% discount at their store. You might have to increase yer dues some and pay them a lil but this would increase their sales and give your members a incentive.
Good Luck ....

Yes mlm, I drive to Coral Connection 
It's really not that far.
Fish Tank, in my opinion you are shopping at the best place in Mobile! I've bought the majority of my stuff from Ocean Treasures. Chuck has good quality things, and won't sell you something bad just to make a buck. I bought all my live rock from him when I started my tank.

I was in New Orleans two weekends ago and stopped by coral connection. Frankly i wasn't too impressed, althouth i wasn't impressed with the aquarium over there either. I liked the frags they had but i didn't see anything else! When i set up my 75 i will surly go over that way for frags if i can't find anything in this area. Here is a site to a club in north florida based out of Tallahassee <a href="http://nfms.org/home.html" target="_blank">http://nfms.org/home.html</a>
Was thinking about looking into it but it is in Tali which is something like 3 hrs away
