    A few months ago for some reason I can't remember me and my wife stumbled into the reef store in little rock. After spending a few minutes in there I am pretty sure she caught the bug as I did many years back. Now at this point she has a vague idea that I was into this stuff a little in my past before meeting her and us getting married. But she had no idea to what extent. We found a 75 gallon new reef tank and stand for sale in the store priced to move. Nothing special, just a basic one with built in overflow. I was very hesitant to get it at first knowing darn well what I would get myself into but she seemed very excited and eager to buy it and do a saltwater tank as she has always had a deep seeded passion for marine biology. Well, who am I to argue with such a beautiful lady. I gave her full disclosure of what we were getting ourselves into with the time and cost of starting up a reef tank. So being a past reef addict and having full cooperation from my wife, we bought it. This has been a few months now since and I am slowly buying and putting together everything in order to have it fully up and running here soon. I will most likely put up a thread in the tank build section soon. We moved out here almost 4 years ago from the coast in California and hopefully we can make it to the next meeting and meet some new people. We both love the ocean and the beach so it will be nice to give her a piece of that in our home and get her involved with everything about running a successful reef tank. Hope to possibly meet some great people here. Look forward to meeting some of you at a meeting sometime. Jake and Belinda

    Welcome to RRMAS! It's awesome to have a spouse that enjoys your tank, even better to have one that shares your addiction!

    Look forward to your build thread and seeing you two at a meeting!
