Our most heartfelt congratulations to @Donovan Joannes for receiving the Reef2Reef Excellence award, and our most heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Team R2R would like to extend our deepest thanks for going above and beyond to make this forum the amazing place it has become. We as a team have found Donovan to be a vital part of the reefing community. His posts have been kind and very informative. His threads documenting adventures in the Coral Sea ( https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/coral-shopping-spree-low-tide-activities.342129/ ) and the creation of unique aids to reefkeeping ( https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/poor-man-nutrients-control-donovans-nitrate-destroyer.302685/ ) have enhanced Reef2Reef immeasurably.

Donovan's time and dedication to the forum is what makes us all feel like a big happy family, but today is not a happy day. Donovan passed away far too young while pursuing coral and the understanding of these creatures which fascinate all of us on Sunday January 7, 2018.

A tribute thread can be found here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/w...ty-rest-in-peace-donovan.350042/#post-4354254

A GoFundMe account to raise money for his lovely family is here: https://www.gofundme.com/in-memory-of-donovan-joannes

In honor of Donovan and his contributions here, we will sticky his DIY thread and we will have a one minute moment of forum silence today, January 11, 2018, at 12pm est.

With deepest condolences and prayers for Donovan's family, we hope you'll accept your new banner and year of supporter membership as a token of our appreciation. We appreciate everything you do.

May he Rest In Peace and may the Lord grant his family the strength to cope with the situation as best they can, given the circumstances.
