Hello All,

Is having an up and running reef a requirement for membership in ETRC? I moved to Knoxville in 2000 and have had my tanks in storage ever since the move. I want to get back in the hobby, but would like to learn more about what is being used now.

Thanks
Art

Nope, I don't think so.

Do you have experience in the reef keeping hobby? Or are you interested in being in (or being in again) the reef keeping hobby? Do you just want to learn how difficult it is do a reef tank? Are you interested in interacting with marine-minded people?

If you fit one of these criteria or more (or even if you don't) you too could be in the ETRC.

Just come to the next meeting and we will talk about it then. The next meeting should be awesome too.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to joining everyone at the next meeting. I don't know how much I'll be able to contribute, but I’m sure I'll learn quite a bit. I do have experience with reef tanks, but I've been out of the hobby since 11-99, that's when I was transfer to Knoxville and put my tanks in storage. Before moving I had a two hundred gallon reef tank and a seventy five gallon Lion fish tank. I've been getting the bug for the past year and have finally decided to set the reef back up. I know things have changed since I was active so I'm excited to see what’s new.

Awesome!

Welcome back to the hobby.
