A Lesson in Reefing Humility

[Reefer Matt]

I'll tell you what, I am constantly impressed with the talent of this community! No matter how we hold ourselves in regards to our reefing success, there are always those who excell much more. It helps keep me in line with where I actually am in my reefing journey, and I appreciate everyone sharing their theirs. I have been further motivated to keep improving, and work toward planning my dream build. Thank you, reefing community!

Love your youtube channel

Thank you! I didn't realize that having a channel creates a stigma of being unauthentic though. Though a long way off, I don't ever want to be considered a "content creator", as I am a Reefer. I like participating in the community and learning new things while sharing ideas. I hope to learn much more from the community, and will try to share my ideas as authentic as I can be, because I really do care about reefing and the people who enjoy it. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

That's exactly why I like your channel; it's authentic.

Keep on keeping on…..many of us like watching “Genuine” real life fellow aquarist…its when they start the pHD “name dropping” that turns me off …. all this first name basis and who’s who BS is a big red flag for me….
BTW any show of humility is a plus (like admitting your boo boos, et) ….longevity in reefing IME just means you’ve killed more fish (and I’m the king!!!) :D
