That must have been hell, Tim!
Glad the family is now safe from that mold. I can't imagine what you've been through, but maybe give it a few weeks before you decide to hang up the clippers.
I do hope this thread isn't your reefing swan song...but rest up pal. Especially that ankle. I'll be back on the court next month!

Tim,
So sad reading this post. I am speechless. However, I am sure we can recover many corals that you have from the people here and in Bay Area. Hang in there. Call me when you feel like to.

Wow! These things are not suppose to happen to such a humble man! Tim, it goes without saying that our hearts go out to you. You have been and will continue to be an inspiriation in the reefing community. It's a blessing that your family is safe from the mold danger. Hope you take Mark up on his offer and stay in the hobby. If there is anything that I can help out, please don't hesitate!
God Bless you Tim!

Tim, I've had the opportunity to view your tank once, and interact with you just a handful of times, but you have been generous and kind to myself and MARS. I am sorry for your loss and echo the sentiments of others who wrote before me, "anything I can do, just ask."
I wish you the best in whatever path you decide to pursue.

Tim,
You could not have said it better: Go with what works for you.
Sorry about the loss you recently went through and I hope your familys health is 100%. You might have lost some saltwater livestock but one thing is for sure you did not loose your experience or knowledge. I'm sure when you decide to set up another tank it will be just as nice or even better.
good luck

I have known about this for all most a week and still sad. Anyone who has had the pleasure of knowing Tim and going to his house know how generous he is.
Tim if you do decide to stick around you can have a frag of anything in my tank..............not as beautiful as yours but a start. Look forward to talking to you later.

Ughh...as a victim of total wipeout myself I know how depressing and discouraging this is.
Tim, don't bail. If you need frags/small colonies I'll gladly give you some to contribute to your new start.
Let me know.

Dude...dude...DUDE!! I am so freakin stunned I cant even put it into words. Woooow. <Shakes head>.
Ok...I'm over the grief part. How can we make something positive out of this? I know this much...Tim you are a freakin pillar of the local reefing community. If you want to come back...we will all rally. You can build it again...maybe even better. You may not ever get some of those rarer pieces back, but think about all of the new stuff you can do! Dont think of this as a loss but a chance to do it better.
Dont give up dude. There's a lot of support out here for you. Probably even in places you didnt know about. We got your back! When do we start?

Tim,
I'm sorry that you had to add this to your already overwhelming list of challenges lately. You've helped me out numerous times, and if I can ever be of any help, you've only to ask. Now, the question you have to ask, is will you be satisfied with a FOWLR? You tried that once before, and look what you ended up with....:lol:
Keep your head up. As I've learned over the past 18 months.....a few too many times.....what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger! And, even I'll have to admit, I AM STUBBORN!
Best wishes for you and the family.
