Teen reefers in Colorado Springs?

#1
hi all, I'm new to this forum and was hoping to find a friend, preferably my age but I honestly don't care at this point, anyone in Colorado Springs or know anyone in Colorado Springs I could chat with?

Hello and welcome to the club. I am not a teen lol... Not many teens here that I know of but don't be afraid to talk to people on MASC. Anytime you have questions just make a post and everyone will do their best to help you :)

The only time your age will matter is when meeting up (people from MASC or anywhere) and I encourage you to bring your dad or mom anyway if you can as that will make it less likely for you to get a terrible deal lol. People everywhere want free stuff or to get it as free as possible. Don't be afraid to tell people no.

Also, I just want to point out that there are lots of people in the Springs who keep tanks and there's also a sister south Colorado club, that may have more people in your area, you're welcome to stay here and join that one too. I tried finding the link but could not find it. I did find their facebook though.

Good luck! :)

Hi there and welcome.
Sadly the southern club is pretty well inactive at this point, but quite a few reefers down there still, so hopefully some of them will chime in here.
Have you been to Reef Koi's yet? Chris has a nice shop down there and is very helpful too

Thank you, I was looking around, and yeah it seemed like there weren't many people active any more, I'll check that Facebook link out, might try Reef to Reef as well.
I have been to Reef Koi, I trade frags in for store credit, but I don't go there too often due to no job and having no money lol.
I know there isn't going to many if any at all reefers my age, I found a bunch on Instagram, but I want to meet someone that I can meet in person or at least lives near me that I can chat with occasionally.

Welcome to the club! Sadly what everyone is saying is true that there aren’t tons of teens that are into reefing. I teach middle school up here in Aurora and my tanks are all at school. I don’t have tons of high end stuff but I always have coral that I’m more than happy to give away especially to a teen with a passion. I had a neighbor growing up that brought me into the hobby and I’m always happy to pass that on. If you’re looking for anything shoot me a PM and if you can’t make it up here I might be able to meet you down there.

Thanks! I'm always looking for coral, its taken me a year to get my tank halfway full, I'm starting to look for more expensive ones, especially euphyllia of any kind. but I'm always open to other coral. I don't have my drivers license just yet, a few more months and I should have it. If you are willing to trade or something, then I doubt I will be able to make it up to Aurora, its hard enough to get my dad or someone to take me to the fish store.

Thanks! I'm always looking for coral, its taken me a year to get my tank about halfway full, I'm starting to look for more expensive ones, especially euphyllia of any kind. but I'm always open to other coral.
