Randy stepping back from RC.

[BigSkyBart]

Doc,
I've read many, many of your helpful answers without asking one of my own.
Thank you for all your efforts, hard work, time spent, and your contributions to making this hobby better

Randy,

Thank you for your advice, your articles, and your time!

[ScavDog]

Randy,

I echo everyone elses sentiments.

Thanks for all your help and especially for the kindness you have shown to the BRS. This community was very lucky to have you.

First off I want to express my deepest gratitude for all that you have done for the hobby and for me as an aquarist.

I also would like to propose to either RC or Randy directly to extract a "best of" faq from the RC database based on all the information that Randy has imparted on us. I think such a streamlined source of information on Reef Chemistry will be an invaluable legacy for what Randy has contributed on these boards. It will also let the hundreds of RC members quickly cut through the chaff and get our questions answered with data and facts.

Randy, please come back and let us know where life's paths have led you. I wish you the best in your future endeavors and you will be sorely missed on RC.

WOW, sorry to hear the news, but am glad to hear it is for good reasons.

Thank you for all your patience in the past and for all your wonderful articles--which I will refence continuously

[Morpheus'Reef]

Thanks for all your help through the years. It is because of all the helpful information provided that I have been able to stay in the hobby for so long... Without the voice of reason on all things chemistry related who knows what misinformation I may be chasing. Not to mention a big thanks for helping me save a few $$$.

[murfman]

Randy, thanks for all your help and enjoy your new found freedom. If I get upto Arlington, next summer, I will be sure to shoot you a PM and let you know when I will be in town. I'd love to buy you a beer!!!

Thanks ever so much for being such a great resource! Your articles have always been an enjoyable read, demystifying the chemistry that goes on in my reef system day to day! You've helped me move from using equipment and chemicals in my reef to UNDERSTANDING what they do and how to best use them.

Good luck in your future endeavors! Your efforts are greatly appreciated and will me missed!

You gave me some "chemical" tips once, my hatchery production went up by 70%.

Thanks! and good luck.

Can I have your email or phone just in case ?

Don't go!

[Hobster]

I have already posted but must add that I just noticed there are over 1587 views to this post! You have surpassed the baking soda thread!

Thank you once again for all your patience and help to not only myself but to the entire hobby.

Randy,
I hope when you agreed to take the moderator job they offered to pay you $1 a post when you retired

Along with everyone else, thanks for contributions, you will be missed.

Jon

P.S. have we guilted you into staying yet?? hehe

[Aquaticman74]

Randy-

You're a class act and this board will definitely not be the same without you.

Good luck and enjoy life!

Randy, thanks for showing us the truth to so many answers. You also helped us learn to make the hobby more affordable...They need to make a page with all of your articles so we can continue to refer back to them....Best of Luck to you in your future endeviours....

[ReefDiver]

Randy: All of the accalades are so well deserved & none of us can ever tank you enough. The reef chemistry knowledge that you have imparted to all of us over the years is a treasure indeed. I can tell that you would make an excellent teacher because of the way you are able to take complex material & present it in such an understandable way. I personally can't thank you enough for that.

I also concur with the others about the "REEF CHEMISTRY BOOK"!

Best of luck to you always,

Steve

Randy,

I can only re-iterate the many great and sincere comments that have already been made. You have helped so many of us, time after time.

All I can add is: What Goes Around-Comes Around.
You have thousands of blessings headed your way!
Thank you again!

[WILDTHING]

Randy, I've never posted in your forum but I use it frequently via the search function.
You will be missed but never forgotten if for no other reason than your amazing 2 part. 50,000 +posts..... a lot of people have much to thank you for, me included.

Randy,

You will be missed. Like all of the other members, you have saved my tank numerous times.

I feel we are losing a great member of the community and in a way a friend that we could always turn too.

You have always been friendly and responsive.

Thanks for all of the help. Good luck with what ever project you take on next.

Bruce

[Copacetic]

Thank you for all the help you have provided us and an insight into the workings of our reef tanks. You have helped me on numerous occasions. You will be missed. Best of luck!

[AIMFish]

Sorry to see you go and best luck on your future endeavors. Your posts were always helpful and informative, merging the complexity of chemistry with practical application in a way that everyone can understand.

I'm gonna miss you here. Good luck, Randy.
