Yes. But I’m not particularly active at the moment. Have too many things going on right now. But I do hop on there every now and then when I need local advice like on movers or LFS.
I must admit that was my primary motivation. I’m sure many tank companies create amazing tanks, but I wanted to make sure as close to 100% that the tank or seams will never fail. Unfortunately for me, the only place I trust that with is Reef Savvy. I know I likely have dismissed others too readily, but the glass is not a place for buyers remorse for me. I just wouldn’t feel comfortable with anything else. Anyway, it sounds like I am on the home stretch. So we will see what happens. By this point I’ve almost forgotten my original plumbing and how I did it lol.
Didn’t want to say anything until it’s firm, but I believe that he started the tank last week. However, at this stage I will only believe it when I see it in my garage in a crate
You have got to be sh*tting me.. I'll give you one guess as to whose fishtank workshop is the dead center of where the hurricane devastation will hit. UN-believable.. I will never get this tank... LOL
LOL thats awesome. Ya, at this stage all I can do is laugh. It's been so so long. It has become an extended family joke so much so that people have started to try to name the hole in the wall, since its like part of the family now.I sometimes read the first page or two of a build and then skip to the most current page just to see where it's at before going back and reading more. Let's just say I'm stunned to see where you are... or where you aren't. Unbelievable! I sure hope the wait is worth it and that you get it soon! And I feel your pain somewhat. I was about to order Tampa Bay Saltwater rock and sand for my build. I think that's gonna be delayed! lol
BTW, this is not the only hobby with insane wait times. I'm a huge bicycle fan... as in like... bicycles are like art to me. So many amazing custom builders out there. Vanilla up in the Seattle area was one that always had something like a 2-4 year wait. I'm like... I could be dead by then! Efffffffff that.
We have been the direct hit of a couple of Cat 3s, both were Cat 5s a day before they hit the Louisiana coast. Both times we were out of power for over three weeks. Felix is not in a good place. I hope they escape major damage.
I waited almost two years to get my Reef Savvy. I have had it for five years, set it up for a couple of months in 2020. Then Hurricane Laura bombed us back into the Stone Age and just when we got our stuff repaired around May last year - we flooded. I am currently working on it again. Maybe this time. LOL!
I messaged him about his staff and himself and he said they were fine and that the lost power for a few days. Ive waited this long, I can wait a little longer. I got some pics earlier in the year of glass that had been cut for my build. Fingers crossed this will be our year.
Good to hear that Felix, the shop and crew are all ok.
I don't want to jinx anything or make any statements that turn out to be false, but I think the tank is being finished next week. I say "I think" because I have thought many times already my tank was almost ready and nothing has transpired. But this time there are pics. I decided I will only post an update when the tank is physically in my garage Lol So tired of waiting :/ In the meantime I have installed 2 Kessil A500x in between the Radions, so it looks like my lighting is all ready to go. The rocks have cycled like 2 years now?? LOLOL
