Several good stores within a 90 minute drive. Several more if you go out to a 2 hour drive.

There are TONS of people in the area willing to trade or lend a hand.
We all mostly hang out on the BRS boards: www.bostonreefers.org/forums
Stop by and say hello. You'll get a warm welcome and can find kazillions of people in the area.

Well, okay, not really kazillions. That's not even a real number. I'm sorry for suggesting such lunacy. But you will find many people. :lol:

Yep check out the other forum. Tons of people in the Boston area. One of the largest concentration of reefers in the country I think.

Watch out for Moe though, He'll twist your arm till you drink to much and fall down. :)

Only after 5 pm, though. I have my limits. ;)

[tstone]

Is it after 5:00 yet? Oh yes it is!

You twist to hard Moe!

I tried, he turned me down. :)

Jeepman there are a ton of rentals in Brighton. Affording them is another thing. There are a lot of collage students living there so i guess there are some reasonable places.

Go on Craigslist.org there should be a bunch of rentals advertised there.

Its Bostonian by the way. ;)

Jeepman, check out Allston. Like Tstone said, it's a big student community. Some places there can be dumps, some are fine, and then some are luxury. You'll want to check them out before you sign a lease. Allston may be affordable.

thanks guys ill look into there. It was either i find a place or like out the back of my jeep all summer...which for the record isnt too bad.:rollface: i was looking into around BU i hear there are some places. mmm i cant wait to be a Bostonian again its been a while since I could call myself that :)

[Jeepman3sk]

thank you all. I think found something through cregslist

[tstone]

When do you arrive in Boston?

What size tank are you going to do? Let everyone know when you are ready I am sure you can get cups of live sand and macros etc from folks.
People here have plenty of frags here for trades also.

[Jeepman3sk]

I have my 10g set up and running up here in akron. When i move in im going to clean off all of my rock if not get new LR i have have been having a hairy algy problem and might need somewhere to store my clown. I might set up a 2.5 tank for my corals while im fixing my tank. ANy help would be greatly appricated.

[tstone]

Let me know when you get here. I'll give you a hand. If you post over at the other forum you will get a TON of response.

I think there are a bunch of reefers around your same age also so it won't be hard to make friends.

[Jeepman3sk]

Im moving in on may 21 if all goes to plan.

[Scuba_Dave]

[tstone]

[Scuba_Dave]

[Jeepman3sk]

Tell em jeepman! get it right Dave. ;)

[Jeepman3sk]

I would rather live in my snowsuit in the snow then for me to live in my bathsuit and 70 degree weather. I live for skiing :D

[tstone]

Man I love the warm/hot weather but after living here in new England I had to accept the cold and snow.

I decided I would embrace it and so i learned to snowboard. I love it but I still hate the cold and snow.

I think i am going to move to FLA

[Scuba_Dave]

Skiing was what used to get me thru the winters
Haven't been in years
