;Sorry

I won my Apex system that I currently have on my 120 gal tank 2 years ago and plan on moving it my upgrade. I just won the Your Reef gift certificate and the Ecotech XR15 G5 blue light. We normally don't televise it because it can come across as insensitive and rude and we respect the Partner and Supporting members enough not to do that. I noticed you are neither a Partner member or a Supporting member, so I am curious as to why you are bringing this up.

I cant believe i am reading something like this on here, are you saying that every competition in the world is a scam and a fix just because you dont win it? Just accept that R2R is a fantastic place to be, with loads of fantastic people and if you win anything at all it is just a bonus, not a given. Just be happy you found R2R.

This is the Noopsyche light that I won on the Reef2Reef contest. Tank still under construction...started cycling some rock today.

Thank you - Noopsyche and Reef2Reef #revhtree #Daniel@R2R

Seriously?!

Did I ever say I was mad? No. Did I say I don't like R2R? No. Chill your melons. All I was asking was If anyone has won the give aways. In a polite way. So please get your negative attitude away from here please.

I always wonder why people have to word their questions and accuse the forum of scams , when asking in a positive way would have answered your question.
"Any winners of R2R giveaways here, share what you won" would have been a good way to ask IMHO.

Well said sir! I feel like I get more out of this forum from the advice, good community and the marketplace addiction. The giveaways are an added bonus.

I wasn’t even talking about you... I said “These feel like scams” Not “revhtree is a scammer”. I was just asking a question...

nano_ryan · Nov 21, 2020

Also I feel like you do a great job at running this website. It helps so much when I need answers. Keep it up

Billldg · Nov 21, 2020

Let's just leave this thread at this and move on. Members do win the prizes, but, as I said before, they don't like to advertise it that they won out of respect. Unfortunately, their are not enough prizes to go around for everyone to win. I know for a fact that if @revhtree was able to do it, everyone would win something. He is just that kind of person. The prize is the forum, the prizes that are won are just a bonus.

SO WHAT DID EVERYONE BUY ON BLACK FRIDAY SALES, LOL!!!
