Westchester area?

jgvergo · Dec 21, 2015

Hi,

Are there any active members in the Westchester (Yorktown) area? Do people ever meet up to discuss reefing?

Mandee · Dec 21, 2015

I only like 40 mins from Westchester

I haven't found anyone yet. But I know LI has a group, but that's to far for me to travel

Not Westchester specifically, but not too far away ...

I'm in Norwalk, CT, and from what I'm told (haven't met them yet, but am hoping to be able to attend the next meeting), there's a pretty active reefing group in Southwest CT.

Good to see the bloom in reefing in the neighborhood of late!!

I Googled it, and it is only a 40 minute drive. I should have my tank up and running in a month or two and I will definitely be making a trip to the Bronx. I have to ask, what is Harse Designs?

Anyone interested in starting a Westchester Reef Club?
I feel like I'm in between NYC, Long Island and CT clubs.
I have no idea how easy or difficult it is to start a club, but I'll look into it if there is some interest.

Hi Howard. I'm interested. Where in Westchester are you located?

hbrochs · May 18, 2016

I'm in Rye Brook, and I have a reeling buddy in Scarsdale.
Where are you?
Great build thread by the way!!

jgvergo · May 18, 2016

I'm in Yorktown Heights. Thanks, I really had a fantastic time building my set up. I'd love to share my experience and get tips with you and others locally. Where do you get your corals? Can you post some tank shots? Is your buddy from Scarsdale on R2R?
