Meet the R2R Moderator Team!!

[PherFox]

I wanted to create a thread where our members could get to know the moderator team, or Team R2R, a little bit better. We are very blessed to have such a great team of hobbyists who have such a passion for the hobby as well as helping others and making R2R a great place to talk about aquariums! I appreciate all that they do and I know you do as well.

So please put your hands together and let's give our team a virtual hand clap of thanks!

Yay!

Yay!

Hi its nice to be apart of this forum oh how I wish we had this back in the 80's when my dad and I first had our salt tanks. Now almost 20 years later starting a new 24 gallon tank I have two storm trooper clowns and 3 differently colored damsels and coral I LOVE my coral! And a purple tipped anemone. Its a small tank but I like it. Happy good times ahead and joyfully looking forward to some great interactions

My biggest strength would be my want to help others on this forum. I like to give back.

Greetings Fellow Hobbyist.

Is there any better hobby/interest than Reefing? I've waited a long time to get back on board. My name is Bob, 70 years young & hungry. I hope to entertain many questions and answers in time. 40+ yrs ago I had a 55gal. SFO. But this reefing, with so much product and info at your fingertips, I don't expect to fail with the support I feel will come from this Reef2Reef Forum
