Why I picked R2R over the others.

I've moved to this site after starting on another that I was a bit more specific to my tank needs, everyone there was super helpful with my setup and there is a lot of useful information, however, the total lack of moderation started to irk me. I did a ton of reading before I even purchased my setup and didn't have many noob questions, but the people who post there and do are often met with unnecessarily harsh criticism. I try to keep a low profile, but I checked in often and there's this one guy who continuously posts only degrading, inflammatory BS, and the rudeness is hard for me to read. I like the positive attitude here. Plus, every time I google something recently, the answers has been found here. So either the SEO is amazing, or this is a really comprehensive site. Either way, I'm glad to be here.

With 8 posts, you are doing well at keeping a low profile for sure!!

With every ounce of knowledge came a pound of !@#$ lol...I recommend going there for people who are craving a Reality Show based off Aquarium owners.

Its ok, you are a recovering victim of Reefer Abuse. Bystander or partaker, it has affected us all. 2nd hand Reefer Abuse is just as bad as 1st hand, I think there is a third hand too...when people that read other posts and tell people about them. Bob smokes a Cigarette, Blows it in Gino's face, who then blows it on Motake and his children, metaphorically speaking.

I would have to agree with you guys. I have been noticing lately that the "other" site has been getting pretty lame. I have been a member there for almost eleven years and have tried to be loyal, but they just make it too hard. It's nice to have a fresh breath of air after being surrounded by all the pollution.

I found this site when I was googling reviews for Alpha Corals.

I went back on the other site when I got back into the hobby to try and figure out what has changed and improved but yikes ... I prefer it here *snuggles in* and these 'moved on' stories you guys are posting are just insane.

The only bad thing about r2r is that it requires having an internet connection or data plan. If we could upgrade our means of communicating through cb radios, it could keep us all up to date on eachother and increase round the clock emergency replies. Xxxxk over.

Another thing I love is the contests that cause us reef nerds to get creative (some more than others lol) and that is important. For one, Creativity is keen when reef keeping since everyone has different setups and stock. Out homes all are different and must be included in the designs over all look.

The other reason creativity is great for reefkeeping is that sometimes we get frustrated over things like lack of growth, parasites, etc...and this keeps us optimistic. At the very least it gives us a chance to goof off and blow off steam.

The recent contests have been quite fun....Clowning for clowns showed off alot of great personalities that you would not get from the 'about me' section. Great fun and a ton of laughs made for an easy month (well over a month due to lack of entries).
