After RRC's own version of "nine-eleven", I thought I would take a minute to thank everyone, individuals and businesses alike, that have helped me along the way. It is a long list that goes something like this, but in no particular order:

Hardware:

CMAS, Cowtown, A-1, Pat's Pet's, J&L, Mops, Big Al's, Petcetera, Ebay, Salt Water Connection, Petland, Water Boy, Home Depot, Rona's, Canadian Tire and a few others I am sure.

Livestock:

CMAS, Cowtown, A-1, Pat's Pet's, J&L, Petcetera, Salt Water Connection, Gary, Joey Bee, Adie and a few others I am sure.

Free Yet Priceless Advice, Supplies, etc.

The proprietors and/or employees of CMAS, Cowtown, A-1, Pat's Pet's, J&L, Mops, Petcetera, Salt Water Connection, the boys on WetWeb Media and other reef forums, virtually everyone in RRC including guys like Joey B, Rick J, Rick M, Adie, Jaimie, John, Brian, Shawn, Markus, etc. and, of course, Gary. I would also like to thank Darren for reminding me that we should all try to give something back, even though I am still a newbie myself.

I don't think any of us can be succesful in this hobby relying on a list much shorter than the ones above.

I thought I would also post a few pictures and, and as previously suggested by Blenny, encourage others to do the same. Our tanks are as different as we are as individuals; not better or worse - just different, and pictures speak a thousand words.

Picture 1 - The Cardinal has babies in its mouth (again) and likes to hide in the toadstool. Until I set up a refugium to move him to, I will unfortunately continue to have zero survival rate. Cleaner wrasse on left just left the toadstool as well. Toadstool from A-1 (someone (?) in our club gave it to them), Cardinal from Cowtown, wrasse from Pat's.

Picture 2 - Zenia on right from Joey Bee, zoo's on right from J&L, 'shrooms from Petcetera, Bird's Nest and RBTA from CMAS. The BN was doing good until it fell behind rocks for a few days. May have to give it a better home with brighter lights if it doesn't come around soon (spoken for).

Picture 3 - Perc's from Cowtown, BTA from Petcetera, Coral Beauty and Colt from J&L, Zenia from CMAS.

Picture 6 - Crocea clam from J&L

In such a short time Ron you have two Amazing tanks. I feel lucky to have been invited into so many homes and given such wonderful advice. I would have to thank the same people and businesses as all these people have helped me to achieve what my tank is today. Thanks Rick M for getting us all together with this forum.

Thanks everyone for all the support!

I would also like to thank all the people that have given me advice and frags, way to many to name. And a thanks to all the buinesses that have helped make my setups what they are today. Also already named by Ron. Thanks to Ron for helping me post these pics.

Invigorating post, Ron. After reading it, I realize more now that even though we have individual tanks ... how much of a `team hobby' saltwater is.

Thank you to yourself and to Gary for the interesting and revealing photos.
