probably those who are close to the coasts, like California and Florida. I would think there's a lot more selection plus the prices are considerably lower.
Can't wait to move from SC (Not much in terms of reefing) to FL (My home state and a great reefing state!). I would say Cali as number one but notso sure about FL being number two, there has been crazy surges lately in other states.
Wow noone mentioned MA.... Boston reefers alone has over 6500 members and doesnt account for the thousands of guests that watch but don't subscribe.. Then theres the number of specialty reef shops in and around Boston and south.. The numbers of hobbiest in the state are amazing... Not saying it has the most per population but deffinately in the top 3. Now here in IN. gotta be pretty close to last.. Can't even find a decent reef shop within 2 hours driving time...
i would say california as well with florida probably being second. all i know is my home state of ky has very few reefers. cant get any good frags off fellow reefers
