To me all the fun is in the build and constant challenge this hobby produces. The only part I hate about this build is moving the tank cause it weighs more than my ex girlfriend.
Mudrummer we mostly trade between eachother and other reefers. We are both members of SLASH and enjoy fragswaps as well. There are also a lot of generous people in this area that will sometimes frag for free. Rule of thumb is that if you get a frag for free, you frag it three times for free and then its yours to do as you please. So needless to say free frags are not hard to come by. I shop at Beldt's and Marine Solutions when I do go to an LFS. Vspeck and I actually live in north county about 10 minutes from Beldt's. We do a pizza night for our club almost 2 or 3 times a month and this month we are doing a float trip. You are more than welcome to come and join us for a pizza night, we normally meet at an LFS and go eat somewhere and visit someones house look at tanks and talk Saltwater.
