Congratulations! I am not familiar with 3Reef. I am looking forward to researching their data base.

theres old peroxide work on 3r that's a great acquisition

Congratulations! Is this a merger or an acquisition? If it's a merger, then perhaps the new entity should be called Reef(2+3)Reef or Reef5Reef;Playful

Good luck getting all that data moved over

Nice acquisition! Been a member of 3reef since 2004 or so. Good to hear you're keeping it alive. Now can you please bring back the original "Be Cool" photo that Matt on the welcome page way back in the day?

Just wanted to give our community a heads up that Reef2Reef has purchased www.3Reef.com. We plan on integrating the valuable 3Reef data in our community so none of it is lost and invite all the members, who may not be here already, over here to our community.

The old owner of 3Reef, Matt, is an awesome guy who built a great place over there over the years but another path has led him away from the forum and allowed us to be able to keep the data alive for the future!

Just wanted to let you all know what was going on and celebrate that we're getting bigger.

This is pretty exciting Rev!

This is good to hear. Years ago, there was a forum called FishyFrolics back when forums were very new. Before R2R and RC was in infancy iirc. Alot of those old school methodology members went over to 3reef when it was closed. Alot of that data was lost. Makes me very happy to see the data able to remain. I noticed a sharp decline there over the last few years and glad to see it come this way. Next is RC!

Congrats, I like the forum 3reef radar so hopefully you will keep that going

I sponsored 3Reef for a long time. A bunch of good people on the site.

Reef Pets · May 1, 2017

Please don't look into buying RC! All the evil people need somewhere to chat.

Yeah I gotta say lots of posts over there turn into arguments

I used to be a moderator over at 3Reef. Then Melissa nearly blinded herself with Palytoxin, then her grandma got ill and died, then her mom got ill and almost died many times and she's still not out of the woods. When I returned, most of my moderating capabilities were shaved away (which was completely understandable) and a lot of good friends had apparently departed. I'm hoping that many of them are here now. (I'm Inwall75 over there, but I haven't had that tank in many years).
