Megabite's 180 Reef - Round 2

[That Crusso Kid]

My tank is 6 months old today!

It's been 6 months today since I water and rock in this tank. I've been blessed with things going very well and in large part thanks to the R2R community and all the info and support on here. I don't think I'd be this far along in a relatively short time without you!

Special thanks goes to @Miami Reef (RIP) as I've followed a lot of what he was doing in my tank. Another special thanks goes to those that have frequented, offered support, and always comment on this build starting with @That Crusso Kid, @skey44, @Red_Beard, @kingranch2003, @08TRDOFFROAD, and many others that have followed.

On to a few timeline pics. Thanks all for the support. This hobby wouldn't be as fulfilling with out you!

You, sir, just got the rarest of the rare; a "love" emoji from me.

It's been a pleasure getting to know you!

@MegabiteOG don't believe him! He used to withhold the "love" emojis but lately he even gives them to Kevin!

In other news; I took that Apogee holder, copyrighted and TMed it. No more free use for you.

 

[MegabiteOG]

Congratulations on 6 months!
























I'm not sad or jealous that I wasn't mentioned.

Thanks!

See, that's what I get for naming names. You always forget someone! I guess you fell into the category of "many others".

How about you just shut your face.

I gave that  one to Kevin for good cause.

Well, I want to point out that you have received several "not blue thumbs" from me today.

You think I didn't notice, Captain Blue Thumb?

This is the second one I get from you. The last one was for the picture of my granddaughter. Is @tbrown correct on you handing these out like candy on Halloween now?

Truely, thank you Chris for always being here for me and many of us of R2R.

Yes, young kids, dogs and cats generally will receive the coveted "love" emoji as they are probably the only ones that really deserve it.

As for Halloween; I give out no candy. Humbug!

Happy to be here for the ride. Here’s to the next six months and beyond. Love watching your tank grow!
Thanks for printing me a “Crusso’s apogee holder thing” before he got the patent

No worries, I embedded a script in that particular file that renders the user ( ) <-- Guess and fill in the blank.

It's been 6 months today since I first put water and rock in this tank. I've been blessed with things going very well and in large part thanks to the R2R community and all the info and support on here. I don't think I'd be this far along in a relatively short time without you!

You missed the "a" after Meg. Otherwise, sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

 

[tbrown]

I did that on purpose. I replaced the A with your name.

I felt like it flowed better that way.

I just re-read the way you spelled it. You are absolutely correct! Flows much better.

 

[MegabiteOG]

Just posted the April pic for the BC contest. Loving the Aquadelight.

Placed on rock 3/13 to today. (28 days)

 

[MegabiteOG]

The Pink Caddy. Doing well but not as well as the Aquadelight.

Put on rock 3/13/26 to today (28 days).
