Hey there, all you awesome Reef2Reefers!!

Today, I want us to shine a spotlight on the incredible individuals who make our community thrive by going above and beyond to help others. Let's recognize and appreciate the helpfulness of our fellow members! Join me in celebrating the wonderful contributions of other helpful members and share stories of how they have made a positive impact.

Here's how it works: Start your post with "I caught (@member's name) doing something right!" Fill in the blank with the name of a member who has been exceptionally helpful to you or others in our reef community. Share how they have extended a helping hand, offered guidance, or shared their expertise. Let's acknowledge their efforts and show our gratitude!

I hope this is a fun and uplifting thread as we start this week!

“I caught @i cant think doing something right”

He has helped me since the beginning, he has taught me a lot about many sides of the hobby, guided me in many aspects and has given me the amazing love for and keeping wrasse. Thanks to him I’ve been able to branch out into R2R, and become hopefully a good now and future Reef and fish keeper. He knows much more than I’m sure I’ll get to know, and he in my eyes is one of the best people in this community. He has been a great help and an even better friend. Thank you Aaron

BUMP! Let's see more posts in here! Surely you guys know some awesome members we can all recognize together!

 

[To(meany)Tang]

Hands down @vetteguy53081 . Not only is he on top of fish medic and has helped me with so many types of illness and ive learned so much in just 6 months from him. I should be a junior medic. Is there a badge for that? Lol no but seriously he also is on every other post no matter what the issue is to give his great knowledge and he's also known to start some really interesting threads. Not only has he enhanced the way I look at saltwater but he's also made everyone else feel comfortable and positive about moving forward with the hobby. Vetteguy is awesome!!

I caught @encrustingacro doing something right!

Has done a great job with providing identification to those looking to know what type of species of coral they have regarding SPS/LPS (from what i've seen). I definitely learned a thing or two regarding identifying specifics in certain species and can attribute that to being able to provide the same help to others or being able to tag the individual in a thread looking for ID's whenever I'm unable to.

I caught (@revhtree) doing something right!

Rev gets way too little credit for devising and cultivating Reef2Reef to be the resource it is!

 

[Slocke]

@lion king for constantly helping on the predator side and writing new things on their care

 

[SaltyT]

^^ this guy @Slocke is on his way to becoming a wrasse (and eel) expert! He's knowledgeable, helpful, and always willing to share his fish keeping experiences. He's an awesome member of R2R.

Far too many to list or to even pick just one .

"I caught @EeyoreIsMySpiritAnimal doing something right!"

Always helping people understand what’s going on in their tank and explaining to them what that hitch hiker is

 

[vetteguy53081]

@ Rehvtree gets my vote. With the number of members this group has and the Amount of organization skills required to function smoothly is beyond a challenge. There are hundreds of posts hourly and to keep on top of them would seem near impossible.
It gets done with also to mention by Daniel@R2R who gets things resolved and keep many threads alive

 

[Rmckoy]

@revhtree and Daniel @r2r
For the amazing job keeping this forum running smooth.
even if it means keeping us all in line

“I caught @vetteguy53081 doing something right”

everytime I do a search for a question on google that I have about reefing 9/10 times a thread vetteguy commented in answers my question. The hospitality to new members is always there. I can guarantee he’s helped every member on this forum more than a few times. Cheers @vetteguy53081!!

 

[StatelineReefer]

I caught myself doing something right, but don't worry, I put a stop to that pretty quick.

 

[EliMelly]

I appreciate @Slocke for teaching me quite literally everything that I currently know about the is hobby and helping me every single step of the way. Thanks for everything.
