I really appreciate being able to have access to this great forum with all the awesome people willing to help others without wanting anything (besides pictures

) in return. I hope everyone is doing their best to stay sane in these crazy times. Just had to get that off my chest. I feel so much better now. Mandatory picture attached. And a random question. How many of you have a beer holder on your stand? Reef on everyone!

Overly positive people have no place here....

Hi,

Tank looks great. Some nice big colonies. You need a magazine rack by the holder

And this place is pretty ok, huh

1. Love where your heads at! 2. Was thinking something very similar a few minutes ago as I watch my reef. It took me years of stalking this community to give me the confidence to take the plunge into the hobby. One of the best things I’ve done. Thanks to all the great people on this forum and to its staff. Appreciate ya!

I recognize that tank from the peninsula thread, but I didn't notice the beverage holder...lol. Nice touch and nice comments.

Well put Dave. We really are a family. Love the tank by the way, and @Katrina71 beat me to the bottle opener thing. You almost gotta have one.

That is not a beer holder! Anyone knows that's a Diet Dr. Pepper holder!

That's a beautiful tank Dave. Thanks for being a positive light!

I actually have the perfect spot for a bottle opener but it never crossed my mind. There’s a ding on my stand that needs to be covered. Thanks for the great idea!

Thanks! It’s frag city right now except for some old LPS pieces I’ve had over 10 years. Who needs magazines when you have a reef tank and r2r?

Thanks! I always dreamed of having a peninsula tank. Problem is I have already filled this one up. Thinking about doubling the size of this one and calling it good. Just have to sneak it past the wife.
