    We have meetings the last Saturday of every month except November and December.
    There's no meeting in November and in December we have a holiday celebration instead.
    Regular club meetings are open to the public, holiday celebration at the end of year is for club members only.

    Information about this month meeting will be posted soon.

    Welcome !!!
    Good Luck,

    welcome Joel and Denise. Hopefully see you at a great event thats coming up = reefapalooza. They are running a banner on the site. its a must go to so see all the great stuff out there. nearly "macna" size event.

    many of us are going both days. see u soon.
    Four individual systems Right now.
    30gal red sea 130d lps/softies/anemone tank, kalk ato, reef bright led strip.
    40 softies set up.
    550 total gallon marineland 300 DD main system 18 months old now and stabilized. T5 VHO lights/ BLUE led strip, Fully custom built LIFE REEF sump and FUGE, AWESOME 60" tall skimmer, and 1000+ gallon rated custom Ca reactor, 3 50 gallon attached SPS frag systems lite with a combination of HM and LED and T5 fixtures.
    A 200 gallon MARS quarintine with UV system/ medication for new arrivals.

    Still lots to learn about the hobby but I have amassed a great collection of real beauties. I have broken past the stage of keeping things alive and now there actually growing out. Which is a big hurdle for many beginners I must admit. Good information and advise is hard to get sometimes and the club has done wonders with respect to quality advise and help in the hobby.

    THANKS Orlando Reef Educators Organization!!!!

    Thank you all! We did attend Reefapolooza this year, it was awesome! We picked up a 20G JBJ frag tank , Also got lucky at the raffles with 12 buckets of Fritz Aquatic marine salt and a Aqua FX RODI. We look forward to meeting everyone at the next club meeting.
