Welcome aboard!!!!!!! and what a beautiful tank... i see you no what you are doing... great job...

 

[2Sunny]

Feelin' the love!

Aww shucks fellas . . . y'all know how to make a guy feel "warm and fuzzy".


Really though thanks for all the kind words. As I'm sure everyone here has experienced, the accomplishments of our hobby are not often fully appreciated by our "closest loved ones" so it's great to get a little ethereal "pat on the back" now and then.

The tank thread sounds like fun; unfortunately I am leaving this morning for a 2 week vacation in Belgrade Lakes, Maine, so it will have to wait for later this month. On the plus side, that will buy me some time to take some new pictures.


From what I have seen so far, MR seems to have quite a few impressive reefs; kudos to whomever put the effort into creating a new, civil, and exciting reef website !!

Thanks again everyone!

That would be our very own Josh and his incredible staff of moderators. :hug:

I feel your pain about the family members lack of deep appreciation for our passion. My kids and wife introduce new visitors to the reef as, 'oh, and that's Russ' fish tank' We've got to stick together. :grouphug:

BTW, Maine is fantastic for vacations. Enjoy.
