Thanks man! As far as work I'm just an employee at world's under water which is a aquarium shop that sales saltwater and freshwater aquarium livestock and supplies but we do specialize in Saltwater of course! I do a little bit of everything there at the store my favorite part is helping new customers and getting them into the hobby! I also maintenence the tanks by cleaning, topping off, waterchanges and all that good stuff basically everything we do at home to our tanks haha, It never gets old though I really enjoy being around all the livestock and helping take care of it is just awesome. Thanks once again! Iv heard nothing but good things about this forum!

Was working at the shop you're at now how you got into the saltwater hobby or were you destined at a young age haha? It's always nice to have people in the trade aspect of this hobby. At my LFS a lot of the more attentive employees absorb so much knowledge through seeing everything. They're always a pleasure to talk to and learn from.

I was into reef aquariums before I started working there, I have only been reefing for 4 years gettin close to 5 now, I have learned a lot but still have lots to learn for sure lol, Can't know enough in this hobby! There's always something new to learn and that's one of the reasons I enjoy this so much,I know I'm gunna learn some things here and hopefully I can help others as well!

Hey David, Welcome to Reef Sanctuary! I think I've seen some of your photos on fb. I sure wish World's Under Water was in central Arkansas. It seems like you guys do it much better than the two down here do. I'll be at the frag swap in April.

Hello David
:welcomera WELCOME to Reef Sanctuary
Sure am excited that You joined RS :yehoo:
I know I've probably met you in person at WUW....it's my favorite (not so local) Fish Store
Lots of my reef tank corals, fish & both my ceramic shelves came from there
You probably remember me as the crazy lady that always says "hold all my stuff & I'll be back to pick it up before you close today".
Anyway, Great to have you as a member on this forum. Look forward to seeing lots of posts from you as you share your tank build and other stuff with RS.
I will be sure to ask Brandon & Bobby where you are if I don't see you next trip up there....
Do you have any bright green monti-cap frags or Pink Candy cane (trumpet) corals @WUW now?

Hi Diana! I do remember you! Haha, did you buy one of the Scolys not to to long ago? Or maybe it was a brain? I remember you saying you would be back before close and you were! Lol. BTW I'm the guy with the tattoos lol, Bobby is known as the beard guy and I'm known as the tattoo guy haha, Also about those corals I have not been able to make it up there the last 4-5 days mainly because the horrible weather we just got so I'm not exactly sure what's in stock right now, I do work tomorrow and I will update on everything as soon as I get the chance tomorrow, good to see you on here and thanks for the welcome!

John, when in April is the frag swap?
I want to mark my calendar ahead of time so I can take off work to go.
I got some nice corals there last year

 

[DianaKay]

Yep, BOTH of my Scolymias came from Worlds Under Water.
I really REALLY LVE the "master Scoly" I saw there last trip but it was like $700. and I just can't imagine paying THAT MUCH for one coral. But it's the prettiest one I've ever seen :snshne:
