What are you thankful for in this hobby? Let's give thanks!

[revhtree]

Everyday is a day to give thanks for the things we have, the people that we love and those that loves us as well as many other things. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the US, where we remember to give thanks, so I thought we could focus the question of the day around that! Let's make it fun!

My tank was a Christmas present back in 2014. Heather knew I always wanted a saltwater tank. So that's what she gave me in October with instructions to have fish in it by Christmas.

I'm thankful for an intuitive wife. Im thankful through that my reef has allowed me to help and meet individuals.

Thankful that as the years go by that more and more livestock are being captive-bred!

for some weird reason I couldn’t find 20/10....

 

[Peace River]

Definitely the community! I love learning, tinkering, caring for fish, seeing new fry, and much more, but especially this year I am the most thankful for the related community!

I love my fish, enjoy working on my tank, and don't let my set backs get me down but I do vote a 9, the one thing that keeps it from a ten is worrying about the tank when I away from home for several days.

 

[BZOFIQ]

I'm very thankful, my wallet is not - I had to average my response accordingly.

 

[lavoisier]

I am thankful for the constant challenge of making my system better; the beauty of corals and fish;

Grateful above all for the community and our lively conversations. You guys and gals are great.

I’m thankful for my local reef club. We trade frags and colonies. Share years of knowledge. Get together for family gatherings. And just chat and send hundreds of pics weekly. It’s like my R2R lite. And Happy Turkey Day everyone - wherever you are.

Except for family, friends and personal health, I do not feel that anything else can be a 10. ...so reefing is a 9 for me. I enjoy it, but my life would not be ruined if I had to stop.

 

[Crabs McJones]

I'm Thankful for R2R! The community here has been absolutely amazing.
The helpfulness, friendliness, my fellow staff members, and of course Rev for making this place happen.
Without this place I likely would not still be in the hobby.

 

[MrWheelock]

I'm thankful for my wonderful wife that tends to not only my tanks needs but also its inhabitants, my dogs, the cats (shhh crabs), and most of all for her being there for me while im away from home.
I hope everyone has a very Happy and joyful Thanksgiving. If you partake in drinks, have one for me!

I could not pick a number because I have a love/hate relationship with the hobby. I guess these kind of relationships are by definition on the extreme side, so I am thankful for that.

I’m thankful for the invaluable R2R community, @Humblefish for being such an awesome resource and my Hanna Testers that keep me from having to use those annoying color test kits!

 

[Eagle_Steve]

Being as reefing is a family affair, I had to put a 10. My dad got me started in it when years ago and we still trade corals, ideas and such lol. Also, anyone with 2 teenage boys knows how that goes lol. Both my boys are dug in for the long haul in this hobby. This allows us spend time together with something we all enjoy and can have a little competition with frag grow outs. Comparing growth of corals in our tanks and helping each other out with issues is always fun. The friends I have made is also a wonderful addition that I am thankful for. Nothing like having a tank crack and friends made from reefing are to the rescue with all the water they have on hand and tons of totes for the livestock, or helping a friend move and setup 2x 180 gallon plus tanks in a day.

I am thankful for my husband trusting me to care for his baby - 150 gal mixed reef/fish tank. I am also very thankful for the R2R community. I have learned so much and I am hungry to learn more. Happy Turkey day to everyone around the world. Being grateful is good for your soul.

 

[boostedbeast]

I consider all of us extremely blessed to be financially able to have a reef tank. Im thankful for the wealth of knowledge that r2r provides, and for the local contacts ive met on this site.

I’m most thankful for the work people have done to allow me to automate most of my reef tasks. As I get older and have had some injuries, the automation has allowed me to keep my tank going.

 

[Hemmdog]

I’m thankful that I can finally keep acros alive and get them to grow.

 

[Admann]

I am thankful for the watery box of peace, God allows me to care for.
