    Good evening my new friends,

    Just wanted to drop in and say hi. We will be relocating from Lake Charles, LA to Hot Springs at the end of March and was looking for a active forum to join. Have been into saltwater off & on for about 20 years. I was running a 150 euro-brace mixed reef system with lots of SPS, LPS and softies for about 3 1/2 yrs. but sold it this past weekend due to the difficulties of moving a tank that far.

    Looking forward to getting to know y'all and hopefully getting back into the hobby with a new set up once we get good n' settled in the new home.

    Welcome to the forum and Arkansas. I live in Little Rock but grew up in Hot Springs, great place. One of our sponsors, Marine World, is located there and has been in business there since at least the 80s when I was a kid. Hopefully, you can make it to one of our meetings once you get moved and settled in.

    Hiya,

    Welcome Shayne! If you decide to move closer to Little Rock, I'm a realtor and would be happy to help you get settled. Hot Springs is a little out of my comfort zone though.

    I can speak highly for Kevin at Paradise Pets in Benton. I'm his emergency worker and can assure you if his suppliers have it, he'll be happy to order anything you need to help you get you tank set back up.

    Hi Kim!

    Thanks for the welcome. We've actually already purchased the home in Hot Springs and will be closing on March 29th but thanks so much for the offer. I'll be sure to look up Paradise Pets once we get settled in. I'm in no hurry to set back up but will definitely be visiting the forum on a daily basis learning and helping others where I can. Kinda looking forward to just soaking up what Razorback Country has to offer. :D

    Hi Norman!

    Thanks so much for the invite. We'll be in Hot Springs on March 26th for the closing. Looking forward to meeting some new folks. Really appreciate your number. I'll be going through withdrawals here shortly, so you may be getting a phone call for some therapy. LOL
