Feb 15, 2026 (Sunday) - Official Socali Reefer Meetup Field Trip @ Garrett's Acropolis

Great seeing SoCal reefers joining the Socali Reefer meetup field trip at Steve’s place. Thanks to @wishntoboutside and @ndrwater for setting it up. It was a lot of fun, and lots of reef talk. Lots of reefers like @drexel and @wsoldier made the drive. Even @bakbay made an appearance (egg rolls were yummy), haha. And of course, Steve’s back yard tanks were awesome to see. Looking forward to seeing everyone in the future.

This was a fun event. It was great to see many and put faces to other members.
unfortunately I arrived late as we picked up a new puppy prior to going there. I could not stay to long. Steve Corals were looking amazing. Tanks on point. Did anyone see any fish in those raceways?
thank you Steve for hosting the event

I saw a lot of different fish, mandarins, tangs, filefish, etc. As it got darker, they started to come out more.

Well we were lucky to get out alive it was 8:59 when we left.
We had a good time. We also got there late but always worth the drive.
