moving to SoCal
Hi everybody. I just got orders to California. I am going to NAS North Island as an instructor, and wanted to know what some of the good reef clubs are out that way. Are their any stores that will hold livestock for me if I ship it to them, I don't wanna have to totally start over. I am coming from North Carolina, so I can't drive the livestock myself. Thanks for any input/.advise. Bobby

Semper Fi zatlinrf!!
Your coming from Camp Lejeune? Well, welcome to CA,!!! Personally, I'd rather live in Jax, but hey I'm a country boy. Where is North Island? We WILL have to paint the town Scarlet and Gold when you get here. Stop by mil.com (MODF) and say hi when you get a chance. I'm willing to bet there some stores that will hold your livestock, or possibly some reefers that will. I dont have an empty tank, other than a 10gal to use for holding, so I doubt it would be enough for all your 75 gal fish. I do however, have a huge 32 gallon Rubbermaid and a powerhead or two. If that would work, I'll hook you up. Probably not a good idea to toss em into my 180 because trying to get them out later would be a nightmare. BTW, what are you teaching? |

Live storck are cheaper and some of the stuff is better here. I say sell it and start over. Some of your live stock may not make it alive since you plan on driving it here. Its pretty hot and its going to take you like 3days to drive here.

I am coming from Cherry Point. (AirWing). I am a Ground Support Equipment mechanic, and I will be on Coronado Island teaching the second phase of our MOS school. I have been watching the thread with your new tank, Beautiful. I hope I can see it some time. Most of my corals are still pretty small, nothing bigger than a baseball, but they are healthy, so I don't wanna get rid of them ya know. And I have about 8 fish. yellow tang and coral beauty beeing the largest. |

Raskal, I am looking for people, or stores I can ship to, since the drive would be too long. Plus, it is still kinda expensive for me to re-buy everything on a Marine Corps salary, I have really had to scrape to put all of this together as it is.

Zat,
I work in North San Diego so I'm not 100% familiar with Coronado (other than going there once). But, I'd recommend you start looking at sdreefs.com. They have a listing for all the local stores around here and their contact info. Plus, I have found that most of the reefers in SD are more than helpful. I wouldn't be surprised if you could find someone to hold all your stock for you. You can also check out SDMAS.org for the SD Marine Aquarium Society. Steve |

I have no idea where "NAS North Island" but I have a 50 gallon QT tank with a fair bit of room, if your corals don't need MH lights. I am in Orange County. Steve

zatlinrf: i would start over. not worth the hassle since your move is pretty far, and you got bad timing. i'm sure you could find something you want in a month around here. i'm sure a lot of us are willing to help you out when you come. the last thing you want to think about it is while your trying to get settled in is, oh! my livestock is dying. I'm sure a good portion may not survive either, esepcially during the SUMMER!

Laverda NAS North Island is on Coronado Island, near San Diego. I would love to take you up on your QT tank offer. I could ship you my zoo's, leather, shrooms, xenias, GSP's. And of course some cash for the hassle.
Daphaze. I know what you mean. But if I could find someone to send my stuff to, who could hold it long enough for me to get my tank stable, it would help a lot. I am not moving till november, so I have some time to plan. Thanks for the warm welcome everybody, I am really looking forward to this assignment. After spending the last 6 months in Iraq, four years non-deployable in SoCal is gonna be great. |

Bobby I am about 2 hours from where you will be. You Are welcome to use the space. No cash is needed. Maybe a frag if you have something I don't have. I would not be surprised if some one in the San Diego club made a similar offer. That might be easier for you. Just let me know before you ship stuff to me.
Steve
