Good to see you and Nicole this weekend. Thanks for stopping by

 

[Backinthegame]

Heart-breaking video (from a reefer's perspective) , but Welcome back Tim! It's good to know that one of the pillars of our community is still standing!

Good gracious. Knowing that tank, in that state, is gone...is a horrible reality.

But the truth is...just seeing that video alone is still inspirational to me. I mean, not to get too sappy about it..but some days when I used to look at my tank...and I saw all its flaws...I thought to myself..."But look at somebody like Tim's tank. He probably had times like this. But he pushed through it...and look at it now. I just gotta get past this (insert reef related problem here--aiptasia outbreak, red slime debacle, nitrate spikes, etc.) and my tank will look like that soon."

Basically, if I give up now and throw in the towel...my tank will never look like that. But if I hang in there...in a couple years...mine might look like that. So even now...that tank is still awesome. Just can only see it on video now. Thats all. :beer:

Thanks for sharing the video. Though when I saw it last fall the video doesn't do it justice. It was by far the most amazing SPS / reef tank I've seen in someone's home.

watching the video was bittersweet...bad for the reef but lovin' the new flooring and kitchen .

ryan, its got a LONG way to go before i post any pics .
sang, wassup man? you in or out these days
mark, thanks for making time for us. seems like weekends are forever busy nowadays.
kevin, joel and chris thanks for compliements and welcome backs.

Hey Tim. Great to see you back on the horse. I still can't get over the fact that I won't be seeing your tank (as it was) again...at least for awhile. Along those line, you know how many of your corals are in my tank. Just say the word if you need anything.

 

[tfp]

thanks neil, i hope you can help .

after checking my spreadsheet, i counted about 85 coral losses. mainly acros and a few chalices and favia. the yumas acted like nothing happened and even a few monti's went un-phased.

re-stocking this time around, i'm looking to get these cherished ones back.

so if anyone in the community can spare a frag plmk.
