Hi Patricklong...
Thanks a lot bro. Glad ya went through the pages :)
The idea is to share and get as much info and ideas as possible. Our hobby is one we always "learn on the job"
We presume that we got everything figured out but there will be surprises at every corner :) that's the coolest part of this hobby right?
Im indebted to the Reefing community for helping me out in my endeavor and hoping il have all the best wishes and support for my new build too.

Thank ya!! :beer:
 
I agree whole heartily. I currently do not have any SW experience, and am trying to absorb everything I can.

People like you make that possible.

Never imagined I will be doing something like this when I started my reefing hobby about 9 years ago. It's just a great feeling knowing that this great hobby of ours has advanced so much over the years and the future looks bright :thumbsup:
