new to ARC need help in Dallas area

[eagleeyemike]

Hello

Ok I am trying this again maybe if I change the title I will get a little more response. I was told this is a great forums and has been so far. Lots of great info very helpful.

I am new to ARC and saltwater aquariums. I purchased a used 120 reef tank that has been running for the past 4 years. No regrets loving every minute of it. Looking for someone in the Dallas erea to answer questions and help out when needed. It seems the questions just never end. Was hoping to get to know someone that was willing to stop by and take a look and make some suggestions. There's only so much you can explain at the LFS without seeing things in person
thanks

Go ahead and ask all your questions here - there is never a stupid question in this hobby. You will get tons of responses from very experienced people...it is always nice to have a fresh set of eyes on your set up too and there are tons of reefers in Dallas. Ive been in teh hobby for a lil over a year+ and ask questions every single day

There are MANY great folks that live right by you,

JohnR2604 comes to mind, cr500_af, DrNecropolis, insane04, Eric B, Grouper Therapy, LilRobb, Darren24 etc etc etc

A pack of beer usually attracts all of us on the weekends, haha

Welcome to the forums!

As gnashty said, go ahead and post away - that's what the forums are for! We have people here from other states, so just because you're outside of Atlanta, you're still welcome to post here!

Would really like to meet someone that would be willing to come by and some suggestions ( flow, placement of coral, algea ) things of that nature. I am sure they would spot something else that would need to be corrected. Thanks for the responses look forward to hearing from more

What part of Dallas are you in? I am right off 92 right at the Paulding/Cobb line but as Robb said there are tons of folks in the area.

Know your pain! We're in the same boat and live in the same area as you. Wish we could help but we'd probably make it worse! LOL! We are learning alot on here but like you said...sometimes you just need a little help. I'm sure someone will come to the rescue.

How long have you had that maroon and copperband? They look good and comfortable with each other.
