Coastie Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Anyone in the Louisville area? Just curious, wondering if they ever have any frag swap meets or just meetings/ conventions of any sort in the area? Link to comment
ry05coupe Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Anyone in the Louisville area? Just curious, wondering if they ever have any frag swap meets or just meetings/ conventions of any sort in the area? I am in Lexington. I know there is a Reef Society up there but I haven't really looked into it. There is also http://www.kyreef.com/phpbb/ , but again I haven't really looked much into it. Link to comment

nuff40 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I'm in Louisville as well. Just returning to the hobby after several years absence. I have seen nothing about any clubs in the 'ville, but would certainly be interested. Maybe we can start something up? LOL, I travel with my job so frequently have little time to attend any meetings or such, but never rule anything out. Link to comment
esmiers Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I'm in Louisville and I know of only one club, the Louisville Marine Aquarium Society. I don't know a whole lot about them but they do have some frag swaps every now and then. Check out their site for more info, it's lmas.org. Link to comment
Coastie Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Thanks, I travel a lot as well. But this hobby is going to consume me so I need a support group haha. Link to comment
nuff40 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 understand the support group! this is addicting and once started it's hard to stop adding and changing and upgrading and....well you get the picture. Already in hot water at home and probably will stay that way for a while.. Link to comment
Coastie Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 understand the support group! this is addicting and once started it's hard to stop adding and changing and upgrading and....well you get the picture. Already in hot water at home and probably will stay that way for a while.. My family is already telling me I have issues. I just bought my first salt tank a 20 extra tall and I am already considering upgrading (I am not sure that I too into the extra tall tank). I bought a 14 buicube online from petco w/ stand and well I can only get store credit for the stand since I bought it through Amazon (lesson learned). Well I am going to return them and considering they are having the $1 a gallon I am thinking of snatching a 40 gallon to hold on to until I can fully upgrade. Maybe even use the 20 as a refugium? I love it. I am going to wait until I give my newfound hobby a test run with my 20 though. But if I can buy a 40 for $40, why the hell not? I do have access to my family's old 55 that was used for fresh water but it isn't in the most pristine condition. Plus it's so damn long, Sorry about the novel. Good to know. Maybe we'll all meet up at some sort of SWAA (Salt water addicts annonymous) one day. If there is every a convention or something consider me there. Link to comment
nuff40 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Thumbs up on the SWAA and the convention! Needed already here. Used to have a 55 set up and loved it. Had two clarkii clowns and a mertensii anem that were the focus of the tank. That was my first salt tank and have been hooked ever since. Still have a 55 FW, but there is just no comparison between the two... Link to comment
Coastie Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Well 2 or 3 weeks I bought a nice 25 gallon kit that was set up for fresh water. I have a bunch of tetras in there and it is nice to watch but I find myself spending more time starting at the salt tank that has nothing but 6 hermits and 2 snails in it haha. Link to comment
Backroads4Me Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I know this is an old thread, but if any of you are still in the hobby in Louisville I'd love to link up with a few of you. Thanks, Link to comment
tjwaggoner Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Fellow Kentuckian here too. I'm in Ashland though. Link to comment
GT350pwns Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Here in the ville as well. We seriously lack for quality meets and local clubs. Link to comment
specore Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yep, The Ville Don't know if any of you have been out to Aquatica in the last few months but new owner has the place on the upswing again. Link to comment
GT350pwns Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I've started to go to aquatica more since the new ownership. Old owner was kinda douchey. I bought all my lr and sand and a bunch of other things from him and was just a complete ass during the entire transaction. And always acted like you were bugging him.. New dude is super helpful and the place has been immaculate since. Link to comment
specore Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Paul who is there now was the saltwater manager at Sandy's years ago when it was actually nice. Great guy, always helpful and happy to talk. Link to comment
GT350pwns Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Definitely a good dude. He has told me about his time at Sandy's and other experience elsewhere. Has been around the block a few times it seems like lol. What is your set up like, spec? Link to comment

basser1 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I live in the other ville...... Evansville. And we have absolutely nothing, zip, zilch, nada, as far as SW LFS or clubs. I feel like I'm out in the wilderness just wandering...... Link to comment
