Hello from Florida!~

[JUICE]

Hi! I'm Juice! I've been in the hobby for a long time! about 12 years now I think (gosh, I'm getting old!)

I was a hardcore SPS guy until a couple years ago, when I got my first echino! ever since I have been spending my last dollar on LPS corals in addition to my SPS. I'm a combat wounded veteran, medically retired from the army, and my reef has been a godsend to me. It has helped me through many sleepless nights and anxious days!

I had been toying with the idea of starting a little faqrm at home and putting up a website for a year or two now, but recently I was re-evaluated and found out that I was being moved to 100% and that I could no longer work my regular part time job. So I had a choice, either put money in the bank and sell of my stuff since I would no longer be able to afford the maintence on my reef, or spend every last dollar I had and try to get a business off the ground before next year and hope that it would do well enough to at least support my reefing habit.

So I'm sure you can probably guess what I did

now I'm broke! but I almost have a business

Hi! Welcome! I'm from Deltona, but currently in Gainesville. My parents still live in Deltona, though, and my dad just started a reef tank. He's trauts (Stuart backwards) on here.
It's really cool that your starting up a coral business. Good luck with that! And welcome to Deltona too!

You may not be close enough to stop by but if we ever made a trade the shipping would be super cheap. I’m hoping to have a few people to trade with through the winter. We can still ship down here in Florida when the rest of the country is freezing their polyps off :wink:
