I figured I'd get a new member tank thread started for what is a build we'll all have had our hand in. So, first things first...

I want to thank every member of SCR that offered moral support, donated, became a supporter, and/or sold items to help me get my reef back on it's feet. This has been an experience I'll never forget and deeply appreciate forever or until I die, whichever comes first. But seriously, the generosity in my direction and the empathy for the situation has been astounding and inspirational. I cannot thank you enough. This has been like a dream I've kept waiting to wake up from...

I want to thank the sponsors who offered help. To Reef Lounge, Chance of Coral and Coral Gazers I owe a great deal for offering their assistance in ways that demonstrate how lucky we are to have them as sponsors. Their actions were driven by their generosity and compassion instead of seeking the bottom line. I'm a firm supporter of all of you and am so grateful to have you local to me.

So now lets talk about OUR tank...
Chance Of Coral helped source a new tank...here's what I know..
48"x24"x24" glass with black silicone
3 sided Starphire
Center Overflow with (1 or 2) 1.5" Overflow Holes and (2) 3/4" returns

I'm still not positive about the stand yet. A few of you have offered and I'll be figuring that out soon. This is all still very preliminary. Without knowing exactly what I'm working with I was wary of committing to anything but after discussing with Chris I felt comfortable enough to order the tank.

No pics since there's really nothing to show. Well, maybe this is an appropriate pic...


Seriously though, thank you.

i think this is all an elaborate ruse.. i remember about a month ago when I was talking to Omar, planning out my new tank, and I was complaining about how empty the new tank will look.

omar told me something like "that's the best part, you have so much room and can do anything"

i think he just missed that.. >_>

:p

Following a long... You deserve it buddy. For as much time and effort you have spent away from your family helping out everyone in need that has crossed your path in this hobby. Keep the details and photos coming and if you need help with building a stand or canopy let me know as well and I'll do my best to come help. (Shhh I may supervise and drink good beer with you :) )

Well because of the generosity offered and given by our glorious sponsors I won't be spending my money online anymore. Goes to show who has who's back.

Dearest Chadwick,

I promise to never say you are a stinky leprechaun.

Good form my friend. These guys came through without any obligation to do so. That's all the marketing I'll ever need.

Thant's actually pretty cool. Do they make that in 120g size? And I live in the LBC so a Tyrone sponsored Crack Party can definitely happen, lol!
