What part of Arkansas are you in? I'm in southern MO... get down to northern Ark... Mountain Home, Eureka Springs, Rodgers fairly regularly.
TL Reefs in Mountain Home is worth a trip.
As for clubs, they seem to be a dying breed these days. Used to be a pretty good reef club in Springfield, MO... all but gone now, despite our best efforts.
I'm a member of in2deep. We've been trying to revive it but people havent been posting lately. Wed love to have more activity on there. More people posting then the old members will start coming back. It just started going fallow after a few of the real active members moved or shut down their tanks.
With the saltwater booming lately here in NWA I'm surprised there so little to no club involvement. WUW is setting tanks up like fire the last few months it seems.
I know! But Bobby used to really push the club. The new guys at wuw dont as much I dont think. I think they're more facebook or national forum people than local clubs. The old members and a few new members tried to bring in2deep back but people didn't really seem too invested. I miss our monthly or even quarterly meetings.
