Hello from Alaska

[Clownshow]

Welcome to Reef2Reef! What’s it like reefing in Alaska?!? I can imagine the challenge of getting corals shipped up to you.
Looking forward to seeing your tank, great looking clowns!

Yeah its not easy getting things if you need the closest saltwater store is over 200 miles away. I have not tried ordering any live saltwater creatures as they charge an arm and a leg for shipping.

I can imagine my sister and brother-in-law lived up in Fairbanks for a few years. Shipping was always expensive regardless of what we sent them. Your case presents an interesting reefer challenge.

Howdy Alaska and welcome aboard. I have a 13.5 gal tank after decades of freshwater tanks. It's a whole new adventure!! Don't be afraid to ask questions. I'm still finding I don't even know what I don't know.

Hello I have just recently made the jump from keeping freshwater fish to saltwater. I just started my tank which is a 10 gallon (I know its not the ideal begginer tank). It is stocked with two clowns and some nassarus snails plus a few hermits. I am not sure if I am really ready for corals yet so I am holding off until my tank is a little more mature. I will be adding pics later.

Hello to Alaska, I was just in Anchorage two or so weeks ago. The first time, love it. I have loved saltwater tanks for over 25 years...I'm sure you will too. Welcome to the group.

Hi! I'm also from Alaska and looking for like minded folks! Trying to learn about as much as possible and dip my toes into the world of corals.
