There is a Salt Lake Aquarium club that I have heard about but I don't have much more information about them. They do meet in the same building that our club meets in just on a different day of the month. They may have information posted on the Sugarhouse Rose Garden website on how to contact them or when their meeting night is that could get you in contact with them. I hope that helps.

Hello, I'm new to the forum! I have experience in freshwater planted tanks, and I'm curious about reef tanks. What are the differences in parameter requirements? What is the best size tank to balance price and stability? how do I grow easy corals? do I need a different filter type? what are some tips to keep thing cheaper? Thanks for reading, I love high tech planted tanks, but corals just look so amazing, and I want to learn more.

Unrelated note: does anyone know of a freshwater club in the area? I've been looking and haven't found any local clubs.
