A NC reefing group on R2R!

[dank reefer]

I am also new to the area, and live in the Matthews area. LFS I go to is Nemo's Reef, and they have a nice selection of Corals.

Hello from Cary!

 

[Captain Quint]

Hey where does that take place..might just have to try to go

Different places but the past couple of years it has been in Raleigh at the NC State Fairgrounds. Generally in the Raleigh area.

 

[Captain Quint]

Nice to see some friends on here from NC! LRS is located between Winston-Salem and Charlotte.

I still remember the party at your house. Great times!

Native Tarheel here from Raleigh.

Statesville here; born and raised Huntersville/Charlotte. New to SW side of hobby, have kept serious FW tanks for about a decade. Hoping to dive into first reef tank soon... so if anyone local wants to let go of some (gently) used equipment let me know!

Timberlake, NC. Don't blink you might miss it!! Only 1 stop light, but we DO have a post office!!
My goto lfs are a 1 1/2 hour drive either way, but Triad Reef Critters and Fintastic of Wake County I highly recommend.

I know Timberlake, my friend.

Yes on Fintastic. I know David quite well. He's a true reefer who opened to help and sell at more than fair prices for other reefers.

Ahoy Captain!!
Yep, David's a good guy and has a very knowledgeable group of guys/gals working for him. Small store but quality livestock and, have to agree, pricing is very reasonable.
I make the trip to see Grace at The Reef Farm too. Find a few gems there from time to time.

What part of the Crystal Coast you hail from Dsnakes? I'm gonna be in Wilmington next weekend. Gonna check out Coastal Reef, hear they've been upgrading. Curious to see what they've done to the place.

Grace and David are good. They both have good livestock. Although I find coral selection pretty basic but their fish selection is quite good. They are pretty helpful to new reefers. I think we can create a NC reefing group here.

I highly recommend Triad Reef Critters if you are in the Greensboro area. I am in there at least once a week, thankfully they are about a 15 minute drive... Bonus = They just expanded again!

I was in there yesterday grabbing a bunch of RODI water; however, I think I was in there about 3ish... I would have had my daughter with me.

 

[Nep2n]

Gotcha. Picked up a Seasons Greetings Monti and a Nice Orange Pavona frag there yesterday. Saw a guy there that looked A LOT like the guy in blue in your avatar.....small world.

I’m in Charlotte. Went to uncg. You think worth the trip? (If the shopping is no good at least there is Yum Yums)

Know exactly where that's at but been a while since I was that far north. Used to hang in Nags Head when I was a kid.

I come down to NC a few times a year. Where are some other great stores in the Raleigh/Cary area? I go to Fintastic every time I visit and hate I'm missing their 3 year annual sale this weekend
