Hey everyone. So I live in Colton, city north of Riverside. I actually work in Riverside so I think I can post in this section...right? Anyway I'm looking for anyone locally (Riverside area) who actively frags. I would like to get some starter stock off of somebody locally rather than having to drive to LA/OC. I would much rather keeep it hobbyist-hobbyist, rather than going to a LFS, I'm sure you can understand.

Nah, Im just a hobbiest, I can try to post some pics later, but I have a some zoa frags, a few frags of the same red aussie acan and a few things that are big enough to frag. I also have a handful of LE type corals if you are into that.

Im looking for some zoas, green star polyps maybe, softies and lps's. My tank wont be mature enough for sps's in my opinion for a few more months. Its only 6 months old and I just don't feel right adding sps's yet. Im a huge fan of the closed brains/pineapples, frogspawns, colts and xenias. I haven't been bit by the chalice bug but im sure that I will change after I see a few of your tanks in person.

Looking for frags & some other things...

Hi! :wavey:
I'm new on here... I live in Yucca Valley... I'm always down in Palm Springs/Palm Desert area though... I just started a 70g bullet shaped SW tank and am looking to COLOR IT UP with some coral! :) As I'm sure everyone on here uderstands, we have spent SOOOO much money on this that we weren't planning to and then we had to spend a ton more- & lost a good bit in dead fish :redface-oops-6: -b/c we got a fish that brought infection into our system and had to buy lots of meds and chemicals etc to try to fight it off... so I am hoping that I can find someone who might have an overgrowth of corals will be REALLY nice and donate some frags to me or sell me some really cheap :adore:
I am willling to drive a reasonable distance if worth my while so don't assume that you are too far away from Yucca Valley. I am always looking for an excuse to get out of this town, lol! I'm also hoping to find/make some friends that are also into this hobby since we don't know anyone else that is! aqulove

I am also looking to buy a canister filter, UV sterilizer, ballast for retrofit Power compact lighting or another type if you have a different kind, but I have a canopy I will have to mount the bulbs into so it will have to be a separate ballast retrofit type setup. I have the space in my canopy for maximum 36" bulbs incase that matters), smaller tank for QT, some sort of filter for that (canister, HOB, etc).

If you have anything that I am looking for, please let me know!
Thanks!!!!!!

Thanks for the welcome!

1. I KNOW! We're stationed at 29 Palms Marine Corps base and Yucca is 45 min from the base but also 45 min from civilization (Palm Springs) so the drive to base everyday is worth it! Yucca sucks but 29 is worse :) We hate it here & that's why I'm always looking for an excuse to get outta town for a little while!

2. Awesome! I hope I can find them!!!

3. I'm trying! Any suggestions other than what I'm already doing? I would think a local LFS would be a great place to meet other locals in the hobby but we don't have one of those here either. :( I was so excited to find this local forum last night! :clap2:
