Goodbye to Reefing.

WoW Joe sorry to hear your moving on from the hobby
Very nice tank glad to have got to meet you take care.
 
Joe, you have had some crazy nice growth since I last saw
your tank (and the photos probably don't do it justice).
Sorry to see you bowing out, but family is so very important.
:wave:
Good luck and poke your head in here once in a while and say hi.
 
I guess its official then...:(

I guess its official then...:(

Dang, I guess its official then. I knew this was coming but am still having trouble accepting it. Lol. My dog is bouncin out. No more reef chats, no more LFS runs, no mo reefin for my bro. :sad2:

But hey...you gotta do what ya gotta do. We'll still kick it. You and Cindy are stuck with me now. Reefing or not. :dance:
 
Start lining up guys...he's got some crazy pieces in there he's gonna be selling here shortly. I've already been eyeballing some pieces. Dont sleep on these!
 
How about just downsizing? I have a nano that is easy to maintain and gives me enough satisfaction. Anyways, sorry to see you go and take care of your family first and foremost. This is just a hobby. Good luck!
 
Man! I remember the fledgling stage of that tank! You've done a tremendous job, Joe, and will be going out in style!

This was the hardest part for me, too!

Although I'll be missing the hobby, it's the people that I'll really be missing.

Hey Joe, we build our Castles Made of Sand until the Fire is gone. Only to find Freedom when it crumbles All Along the Watchtower.

Leave it to you to say (type) out loud what others are probably thinking :).
 
Just a thought. How about auctioning them off?

Just list all you have and the highest bidders gets it by a certain date.

If they don't come, then re-list it. You'll get it all sold in a couple days.

No appointments, come pick up on the end of date. etc.
 
Kevin....God has His own way of working things out doesn't He. You know how to make Him laugh??? Tell Him your plans.
My mom has agreed to move to Sac. Lord willing, she'll be living a few doors down from me. What a blessing she is to me. I look forward to looking after her.

I'll be reefing vicariously thru you and Joel. We gotta hook up soon cuz you've missed a couple of get togethers here.


What a blessing! I know how much she means to you!!! Look forward to seeing you tonight brother! I've missed too many get togethers. :sad1:
 
It worked??

It worked??

Dude...Momz is coming to Sac??? She's leaving LA???

Holy crap...(looks outside)...dont see the devil with a snow plow in his hand. Dont see any hellfire frozen over. Are you sure shes coming?? LOL. NICE!!
 
Tanks looks great Joe!

You will be missed my friend. Your a good man for taking care of your mother, you only have one. I lost my mom 5 years ago and I'm only 35 :( Family is the best thing we can hope to have.
 
Thanks guys.

As far as downsizing, for now, it's not going to happen. I have to get all the way out. I have mixed feelings but the feeling of relief is overwhelming any feeling of missing this hobby. Who knows....maybe someday....

I'll be putting up a 'For Sale' thread relatively soon. In that thread will be a note that there are flatworms in this tank (210). Not 'Acro Eating Flatworms' but they're still a nuisance. Strange thing is that they're disappearing. I had a ton of them for a while but now they're hard to find. Could be that my wrasses finally aquired a taste for them. Mmmm...good. Anyway, always dip no matter who's tank you get frags from.
 
Aw Joe, my heart just sank a little bit. You will be missed! Your tank is beautiful. Some of the growth is amazing. I see your acan frag has grown out quite a bit! Let me know if you need a hand in the take down process!
