So I've been searching and I don't see a planted tank club, or even a freshwater aquarium club of any kind in middle TN or Nashville area. Would love to help start one if there's 2-3 more of you out there, and I know there are, I found an old thread but it looks like nothing ever came of it.

Don't leave me hanging now, holler back :smile2:

I know there are some coral/reef clubs, but I'm not sure of a local club that is not focused on saltwater or african cichlids.

We live in northern Middle Tennessee and supply fish for Aquatic Critter in Nashville, so we're in the Nashville area about once a month on the weekend & would be interested in meeting up on occasion if someone were to start up a planted or freshwater club. I'm not sure what my weekday schedule is going to look like over the next 6 months (new job in Metrocenter area), but the odds are high that we may be moving closer to Nashville in Spring 2017, which could free up our weeknights for meeting up too.

I have got to log in more. I'd love to meet up sometime. I may have found a group, but not too sure how active they are, besides you, I only know one other person with planted tanks in the Middle Tennessee area, and she lives south of Nashville. I'm actually in Hendersonville, so probably closer to you than Nashville proper depending on where you are exactly.

Hey Annah, I'm in Nashvegas!!! Well, actually I live in Brentwood. I shop at the Aquattic critter and some of the employees and I have been talking about starting a club. There are none here that I know of. Hit me back and we can talk.

Hey, we live in spring hill and would love to get together with anyone with a planted tank in the Nashville area. Let me know if something comes together. You can reach me at integritymusicservices at email.com.

Cool Steve. I'm working on something through the Aquatic Critter. Have you been??

 

[brad in nashville]

I'm way late but I made my username for the exact reason of people knowing I'm from Nashville because we have so little in the way of aquatic clubs.

I live in Brentwood at the moment and I'll be moving to east nashville in the next couple months.

 

[TFC]

Hey I messaged you Brad. I live in Brentwood too.

 

[Lovinmzre]

I too would be interested in joining the club. I will keep an eye on the forum and also check in with guys at Aquatic Critter.

 

[TFC]

Hey private message me your email. I'd love to talk about a club here in Nashville. I check in on here every couple days..been waiting to hear from someone...anyone...
Talk soon, Traci

would definitely be interested if a nashville club got started. Just got into the hobby and am trying to learn as much as possible.

I'm extremely illiterate when it comes to online forums; I specifically created a user account on this site just so I could reply to this thread.
I also live in Nashville, right beside the airport and I have been dredging information on the internet for about a month.
I find it very gloomy that Nashville doesn't have any type of tropical fish clubs, aquatic plants clubs, or aqua scaping clubs.
So, obviously I'm also very interested in this whole idea!!!
Hopefully I'll get some type of contact with this and hopefully I post this correctly. ?????

 

[stephenseifert]

I also just joined to reply to this thread. I'll message you guys my contact info. I'd love to help get a planted tank club going in Nashville.

 

[stephenseifert]

I went ahead and created this site: https://www.nashvillefreshwateraquariumclub.com/. Perhaps a good first step is getting people connected. Please visit the site and join the mailing list. I sure don't want to step on anyone's toes. Just trying to get things moving. Contact me via the contact page if I can help.

The site looks good!

Is there any kind of get together this month or not? The Only one person from this thread has made any type of effort?

 

[jimmeh lee]

As already mentioned, checking in/getting together with the Aquatic Critter would probably help out a lot with getting a ball rolling. They're involved with the MTRC, hosting meetings here and there, and bring their best to the annual frag swaps in Nashville. They also partnered with Dennerle I think last summer to put on an aquascaping workshop at the Nashville Zoo. A combined effort between online/forum and in store networking would probably be the best way to go about it. I wouldn't expect things to go super quickly, though.
Just thoughts

 

[Krispyplants]

I'm not from Tennessee but I do go there for vacation trips. Why not form a Facebook group? A website seems too complicated for a small group of people.

 

[aubie98]

Just shot the Aquatic Critter a message on facebook to see if they'd be interested in hosting meetings or somehow partnering with the group. I gave them the website that stephenseifert set up.

I'll keep y'all posted with any answers that come my way.

Edit: Aquatic Critter said they'd definitely be interested. So, now I guess we need to decide what the next step is.

I used to live in Nashville in the 90's. there was a club. If the Fin Den is still open they may know some of the people. I hit the Aquatic Critter every chance I get. Tropical fish selection in Memphis isn't great, and plant selection sucks. I've bought all mine online or at the Critter. Would love to support local business, but other than some of my fish I haven't been able to
