I spoke with Kevin on Wednesday when I went to pick up my new fish. We need to pick two dates in March and then let him know and we can go from there. Should we just shoot for the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month? Once we get the dates ironed out we can work on the other arrangements. A trip to F & S is always a great time!

Its Sat., only reason I posted the 16th is due to the fact that I will more than likely stay overnight in Rhinelander because I am 4 hours away and will just make a weekend out of it.
Did not mean to confuse anyone, sorry if I did. |

I've never been to Fosters & Smith. Is the Divers Den open on a walk-in retail basis or just online? Or is the tour the only thing "special" about a meet there?
What do they have in the store vs. their site? Supplies, tanks ("big" tanks?), fish, corals, rock, etc... Is it safe to assume that if it's on their site, that it's in Rhinelander?

I believe anything aquacultured or WYSIWYG is in Rhinelander and everything else is in LA (probably at the facility the acquired when they bought Flying Fish Express a few years ago).

DFS has their retail store just a short distance from the Coral Farm. Just about anything that is in their catalogs if they have it in the warehouse(also on the same property) they will pull for you and bring it up to the retail store...the bonus(no shipping!)
If you've never been there...it's definately worth the visit. The coral farm has recently been remodeled with a huge addition and houses all of the Divers Den items as well as all of DFS's aquacultured items. Getting a private tour of the facility is a great thing. One that you will not want to miss. Kevin, Steve and the rest of the staff that will be there on a Saturday to ensure that your day is a great one are very helpful and full of knowledge. It will also give you a great understanding of how well these people care about their livestock and husbandry practices and their dedication and care for the betterment of the hobby. I would say that anyone that can make it...come! I know first hand even after seeing the farm every month as we hold our meetings there that it never ceses to amaze me! |

The meeting is set up for Saturday the 15th of March. There will be a raffle. You will be able to purchase Diver's Den items. Normally this is on-line only. Dry goods can be ordered a few days in advance. You must call customer service at least 2 days prior to the meeting and have them take a hand order. Tell them you will pick it up Saturday at the retail store in Rhinelander. This has already been cleared through the retail store and they will hold your items there for you.
Tentative list of attendees (I realize many of these are two-somes) - ebrander Bri-Guy cubsare1 siropa MSU Fan labrec06 stevelkaneval muelpaul gooch Bryan J Custom Color sunfish11 Limpit We will get a better count together as we get closer to the event. As specsirl said this is a great opportunity and a good time will be had by all! I am hoping for a excellent turnout. Lisa |

I see for the meet it says to call 2 days in advance for drygoods. If I go this weekend, I'll (probably) just be shopping for drygoods for the FOWLR. Do I have to call the order in? Or should I know exactly what I want/need? Or is it an actual retail store for drygoods? Just trying to fully understand what I'm walking into.  To me when I hear "retail store" I think of an actual retail store with salesmen to answer questions, etc.... But if it's JUST a warehouse pick-up and I need call in advance or have a wishlist when I walk in the door, I want to be sure I have one.Plan for me for the meet. Maybe my wife too - that's far enough out where she should be able to plan for it. Sounds like an interesting day! |

They don't have that much in stock in the retail store either dry goods or fish/coral. You also pay more than the internet prices. Your best bet is to know what you want, call customer service, and get the hand written order, tell them when you can pick it up and get the internet pricing. Shipping may be less than gas.

awesome! can't wait.
sunfish, for the divers den purchasing, how does it work? is it look in the tank, get a price and buy? I know when taking the tour during the frag swap I saw way too many things that way and it would have been awesome to buy some like that.
