Tampa Reefing

Hello my names Frankie

I currently live in Miami and have a aquarium cleaning business and want to relocate to Tampa but a little worried. How is the aquarium community there? I want to be able to do what I love doing and move somewhere I would love to live! Any recommendations would be great, thank you

!!! Welcome to R2R !!! Don't know much about that business here but I know a couple of LFS that perform that as requested. You can get on Facebook under the Tampa Bay Reef Club and offer your business. We have a lot of reefers here in Tampa Bay area including Saint Petersburg/ Clearwater area.

Welcome to R2R Frankie!!! This is a great little forum here. I'm not sure about the community in Tampa but I am sure someone will chime in here soon.

Welcome to R2R!!! The Gulf Coast is a neat area. The Tropical Aquaculture Lab just south of Tampa is doing some amazing things with breeding fish and Segrest Farms is a huge fish wholesaler located in that area as well. I am not sure about the aquarium cleaning business opportunities in the Tampa area.

Thank you so much for everyone's kind and quick response. All this information is useful as in stores, wholesalers etc. All of these are good signs it is famous in this area as well. I believe the best way is to pull the plunge and give it a try and believe it will work out, know it will actually. Eventually my end goal is to open a store of my own. I worked at a store for quite some time until venturing off on my own.

Welcome.. The Rays are a lot better than the Marlins. One more person in the seats would be an 8% increase in attendance too!

You may want to spend the day in the greater Tampa area visiting fish stores. I think you’ll find that there are a couple decent SW aquarium stores and several that are not. Good luck with you’re venture. My guess is that at some point @WWC will open a store in Tampa and change the reefing game there.
