Anytime you want to do some reefin', you can come help me out! In the meantime, hopefully I can grow out some of the nicer pieces you gave me and pass frags back to you when you're back. :thumbsup:

Darryl, I made a couple of orders from you last year and your frags are amongst the most beautiful I have. I'm sad to learn that you're leaving the hobby, but I'm sure you have your reasons. I hope that when you come back to the hobby (don't fool yourself, you know you will come back one day), that your new tank will be as awesome as this one. Good luck in your future projects.

Hey Darryl, sad to hear that. One of my biggest inspiration when I started this hobby and still. I'm glad to have some of your nice frags in my tank!

I sent you a email last week. LMK!

-Eric

Hey Eric. Thanks buddy. I wrote you back just now.

Dont feel guilty buddy. You will be leaving pieces of your legacy behind for others to cherish and pass along to the next. Like little puzzle pieces that build a much bigger picture. Take pride in that. Good luck, spoil your family with some of the extra time youll free up

Thank Kevin. All the best.

As everyone has said I will miss your updates. I have learned from your post and will miss your tank. I'm sure whatever lies ahead you will approach with the same dedication as you did this hobby. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

Great tank, and it was fun following along.

Why do I get the feeling you're reloading for something even more jaw dropping?

Thanks a lot guys. It's nice to know I made my little mark on the hobby"¦....

Without a doubt you had a big impact in the local SPS community by encouraging hobbyists their SPS dreams were indeed possible, not impossible.
Anyone who had the chance to see your display tank in person will use the images of that moment, for as long their memory and enthusiasm lasts, to build for themselves the magical experience you have shared with them.
Darryl, I enjoyed our many visits and want to Thank you personally for sharing your journey and with all of us here.

Best regards!!

Hi Darryl, congratulations for your amazing aquarium.

In the beggining you said that you dose lugols and MB7, do you still those MB7? Why?

 

[007Bond]

Unfortunately for all us followers,...Darryl shut down his reef,.... info, few pages back.

 

[dowtish]

he'll be back....

 

[007Bond]

Hope so,...I learned a lot from the information he shared.

 

[sahin]

Hi Darryl, congratulations for your amazing aquarium.

Thanks. No I stopped with the lugols and MB7 pretty early on and never noticed any benefit personally.

Unfortunately for all us followers,...Darryl shut down his reef,.... info, few pages back.

Well surprisingly my tank lingers. Bad news is I have lost all interest really (not doing much maintenance) and the live stock is being picked apart. I only have some of my more larger and common pieces left at this point and hope to have it shut down soon.

Thanks. Who knows what will happen.
