welcome to the club. If you can make it to the meeting on the 24th in Salem, you can meet us all there in person.

 

As for LR, I got mine from Sean at Ciclids&Salt in Springfield. he was making a trip to LA, and got rock for a special $3/lb. That is about as cheep as you will get at a store. People sometimes sell for less. Check the classified section.

 

Again, welcome.

I also frequent NR.com :) I have the same screen name. Are you the same name on NR? There is also cyenna and dewzap. I talked with Oregon on NR, and invited him here, but have not seen him. If there is anyone else from our area there, invite them too. :) This group is more like a family, NR people are more like friends.

 

Meetings are usually on one Sunday per month in the Portland/Salem area, and we are just starting to add a saturday meeting each month in the Eugene/Springfield area. This month there is only one meeting, but after that the Eugene meetings are all scheduled for several months.

Another Eugene reefer!! Welcome to the site.

 

I also started out on NR, though i don't visit there much anymore. Sean is a good guy, leave him a msg and send him a pm here at the site, or even post in his forum. I buy a lot of stuff from him and he's always treated me well.

 

Hope you have a camera, cuz we all like pics here!

The more posts, the bigger the fish you become... except the whale, which is not a fish. It is a mammal... But we all know that... Anyway, I hope that you get some good rock. I chose Fiji branch because of the cool shapes, but I am finding it hard to aquascape with places to put frags. I need some smaller, round rocks to fill in the gaps, and to have places to put things.

Welcome. Sean is great and the rock will not dissappoint. I got walt smith fiji live rock from Sean. It has great shapes and color. Easier to aquascape too. That is what I suggest. Best price on rock in town. Get your salt from him too. He has good deals. Might as well save on gas and do it in one trip.
