Yeah, to echo Ace there isn't a lot of folks that I've not met that haven't been extremely helpful and willing to share that knowledge. This is by far the most entertaining (at times) and friendly hobby that I've ever had the fortune to be a part of. There are quite literally thousands of other hobbies that would snub the newby, but not here, not this community.

So who to mention... dang it, probably all of them. From Ace to Kevin, from Troy (really, how can you go wrong with a name like Troy Valantine... it's almost like he's a movie actor... or made man) to Todd (an avid hunter which earns him exceptionally high marks), and then you have the Deans who are always at every event whether it's to assist with a MAAST function or at some dude's house where a tank needs to be moved... Not to mention Mike's notorious anger, man that boy has lit up the BOD a time or two. Steve and his two boys, Firewater, and Ace helping with an enormous tank move to the two hour discussion late at night by Pete the Ping concerning Kalkwasser dosing methods and other things fugy.

But if I had to pick the one person who rises above the rest, the one person whose generosity is akin to a charity organization, the one person (er, in this case a duo) who will always think it's Christmas.... is the Z28PWRs. Mizeny will not let you leave without a little grab bag of coral-ness. I've been over there to buy a single coral, leave with several and still have my money in my pocket! I think the first time I met them (her other half is Jose) I bought six heads of teal trumpets, but left with two additional corals. Which brought my inventory up from one, to four.

So, the best is the entire community. I think it's primarily because when each of you open your homes to a visit from me (a newby) you present your tank and what works for you. Through this process you lend to the community the useful knowledge that makes this such an awesome forum.

And often the best advice is given by letting others know what you've done wrong in the past rather than all of the things that are going well.

As some of you have already realized, I'm not on my phone this morning.
