Who are you thankful for in this hobby?

[Gumbies R Us]

Thanksgiving is tomorrow for a lot of people and it is the time for all of us to gather around and give thanks for what we enjoy and love. I am wondering who are you thankful for in the hobby. Maybe it is a specific member who has helped you time after time, maybe a lfs that has been committed to helping you out with your tank, or maybe it is an online vendor that has provided incredible service.

I'm thankful for all the content creators in this hobby. I appreciate all the hobbyists who work hard to gather thought leaders in the industry and help them share their expertise with us in the form of interviews, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for the Reefers who share their hobby and help others. I enjoy being a part of the local and worldwide community, and look forward to our continued journey together!

I think the entire community is thankful for @Jay Hemdal, @vetteguy53081 and several others that are always providing solid advice when it comes to possibly saving complete mental meltdowns.

Happy thanksgiving everyone!

@vetteguy53081 and @Jay Hemdal
Both seem to take a good amount of time every day in an effort to help our pets. Between the two, the number of animals saved has to be staggering.

We had our Canadian Thanksgiving last month but I do spend most my time in the states working.

In all honesty I'm thankful for my wife. She put the saltwater bug in my ear in January as she said I needed a hobby and with me doing it over 20 yrs ago I thought why not!

She does testing when I'm away, she's my Apex doser and keeps things straight on the rails for me. I'm very impatient by nature and I've wanted to toss in the towel a few times this year but she sets me straight so that's why I'm thankful to her.

@Randy Holmes-Farley and @Paul B have been the biggest influences in my reef keeping and appreciate all the articles, books, and posts.

Yup so true, without money it's hard to buy good stuff

Oh and I'm super thankful for my @BeanAnimal overflow and @Turbo's Aquatics ATS

I would not want try to individually list those fellow hobbyists and professionals for whom I, and my reef tank, need to be thankful. I fear I might miss someone. So, I'll leave it at "I'm thankful to the R2R staff and the membership". I must acknowledge that most of what I know... or at least think I know... comes from experience I gained while trying things recommended or inspired by this group.

I would like to give at special shout out to @Peace River for helping me get a couple articles posted on the forum this year. I had a lot of fun writing them and am also thankful for the resulting feedback.

That was very kind, thank you.

Bud is a super great guy and am sure appreciates the feedback.

I’m grateful for everyone in this entire community who are so committed to helping each other, especially the #fishmedic group.

Thankful for all of the knowledgeable people on here who have helped me through all my blunders and taught me what I know about reefing!

@Randy Holmes-Farley I don’t think the hobby would be where it is without him. So many articles, tens if not hundreds of thousands of posts, patience answering the same questions. Helping reefers for decades now and without a vested interest making money off the hobby - just helping people out of the love of science and reefing, not money.
