NU Reefer
08/05/2004, 12:14 PM
I just wanted to make a short post to publicly thank one of our most knowlegable and generous members, Jeff (aka Marshall Mann) for his help constructing my new reef tank.
My roommate and I, while having been small time reefers for a while (35g and 20g for years) were completely clueless as to the inner workings of large reef tanks, aka those involving plumbed returns and built in overflows. We were also more than a little afraid of using glued PVC pipes for a tank that is sitting on the second floor of our apartment (above my bedroom!).
Besides cutting us an amazing deal on the tank, sump, lights, and all the hardware, Jeff did an amazing and very professional job (and spent his saturday) helping us plumb all the pieces together. Here is a guy who goes well above and beyond the call of duty while teaching newbies to large tanks a lot about the finer points of the hobby. In addition, he makes the world's best barbequed shrimp. :-)
With people like Jeff around, I'd expect I'll be in this great hobby for years to come.
I'll post pics as soon as we get our livestock in the tank.
