I need an aquarium buddy in Central Texas

[mdpitts]

I've been a hobby person my whole life. I've had freshwater tanks for years but now that I've recently gotten into saltwater I'm floundering (hehehehe) and need a mentor. I keep finding myself wishing I had a friend in the area who is just as crazy about this stuff as I am. This is the first time in all my hobby life that I've wished for a friend who is into the same thing. There's so much to learn!!! I am driving the patient folks at my LFS crazy with questions. I go in there about 3 days a week just to walk around and look at everything in the tanks. I don't think there are swaps or groups that meet anymore near Austin but if there are any other folks out there who want to meet up I'd love it. Or let me know of any cool LFS's or groups as far as an hour or two from Austin.

I've got about 3 more threads I'm getting ready to post that I've been too shy to put up.

Search more local reefer clubs in addition... pretty sure you'll find some more...local bodies. Houston has Marsh Reef for example.

I'm fairly new to the hobby and semi local in San Marcos. I haven't come across any swaps or frag meets.

Aquadome is my favorite LFS I've come across so far. Hunter at Aquadome is amazing!

Welcome!

I’m up in North Texas, sorry to say, but check with the LFS’s in your area. They could let you know of any groups.
