Anyone in Palm Coast Florida area?

A;exr54 · Feb 6, 2022

I’ve lived in Palm Coast for over a decade and have met only 1 other reef keeper here.
I’ve been keeping reef tanks for over 30 years. But when I moved to Florida from NYC I lost all my contacts for frag trades and just chatting.

There is a local Facebook group but it seems completely abandoned with maybe 2 posts a week only from a LFS (which isn’t even very local).

I have frags I’m looking to unload, trade, or even just give away. But I don't ship. And I am not looking to profit.
Any LFS I find too much of a hassle trying to trade frags with.
And I don’t feel right giving my frags away for nothing only so some LFS can profit off of them.

Is there anyone in Palm Coast FL? Or around it? Like maybe St Augustine?
I am in northern area of Palm Coast so much closer to St Augustine then Daytona.

Wish more people like you were closer. That’s still a good 90 minute drive to Orlando

Or from Orlando to me.

Seems anyone I know of in Florida with a reef tank is at least a 90 minute drive from me. Which kind of stinks.

I was thinking about going to aquashella this month.

I don’t have too much at the moment.

Have a nice branching hammer that’s already fragged for a couple months and grew a couple more branches since fragging it.

I need to cut/frag a finger leather that’s getting too big.

Plan on fragging a really nice purple tip frogspawn, but will need time to heal.
I have very fast growing and healthy monti’s which I haven’t yet had a chance to put plugs to spread on.

Just recently started adding much more sps, mainly acro. So not ready to frag any of those yet.

And I have pulsing Xenia that I will either toss out or give away. I’ve already tossed out so much of it. But I’m at the point where I think I just want it all out.

Still a long drive, but the FL Frag Swap is in Lakeland next weekend.

Definitely too far.

Welcome! Glad you joined. This thread my assist you in finding people local-to-you as there are SO many very active clubs in Florina. My club affiliates with FMAS but they are likely too far south of you despite sometimes doing some really cool things (that maybe makes it worth your drive):
