And so it begins!!

[SlamaJama]

I'll get some pics up when i get a chance. We went in and did what we had to do. Everything turned out great. Hope you like it Awilda, but man what a mess we left behind, lol. Great Job guys!

Until i can get some pics up, I'll leave you with this one.

I think P put this up because he knew I wanted to roll jon for his Purple Tang...lol...good looks J, better than the usual u..J/K!

Thxs from me to Pedro, Jon, Kathy (always a hoot), John Paul, and Wingo, Wingo arrived later on and was the relief pitcher on this, when we were all tired, he and awilda finished the rock work, placed corals and fish which was invaluable,and to Junior, Awilda's husband, for having such patience with us and making an awesome breakfast!!
Thxs also to Chris, (loismustdie) for the use of tools and consumables ( spa flex, routers, bulkheads) without these it would not have happened..

Just a WTG MR team...i say PFFTTT to deeps :flirt: thread, right here is the bread and butter of it!

Awilda, our pleasure enjoy it!

Thxs also to Chris, (loismustdie) for the use of tools and consumables ( spa flex, routers, bulkheads) without these it would not have happened..

Ditto on this one! Sorry you couldn't make it Chris..ugh stomach virus.. thanks for sharing your stuff...hope you're feeling better today!

Slama did a fantastic job stepping up and leading the group on short notice and managed to keep 6 reefers smiling all day long!! Not easy to do...thx Mike!

Wingo - you can come by me anytime and rearrange my rocks. Great eye!

Hey Pedro, photo shop on my lard a$$ would have been much appreciated.LMAO:wink1:
:grouphug: You guys have been such a blessing to me. I could never thank you enough. I have been with MR for the past 4 years, and it wasn't until Slamajama & Chris that I found a new family. And through them you guys have blessed me so much. Mike, Chris, Kathy, Omega, Jon, Pedro, JP, Wingo. Jon is my latest adopted son, and of course the rest of you who are over 31 are all my new brothers and sisters. :grouphug: And I expect you all to behave a little better then my blood relatives. :lol_large That means you must visit again.:inlove: Think I will give the tank a :party: a year from now.
1st. pic of my gang. By the way, Junius said last night "he trully liked the bunch of you, and honestly enjoyed himself". This is trully amazing since he has always frowned upon my friends in the past.:beer:

Omega, awesome work on the canopy. It is absolutely beautiful. All your hard work trully paid off. Thank you to you, and A.
Jon, your patchy has found it's place. Looks great already, and that is right after being handled and under VHO. Thank you

And again THANK YOU ALL, may you all be greatly blessed for what you have all done for me. Not only the physical, but most importantly the emotional support. I am so humbled by this experience.

VHO white actinic just came on for the pics below. I will get more when the corasl wake up.
Enjoy my lousy pics:catsmiley, until the master puts up his. :grouphug:
Well, time to go clean up. Kathy, remember your glasses?

 

[scarf_ace1981]

looks nice and and clear already. good to see the bigboys are swimming around in their new pad

you can tell i didn't do much. my shirt was still nice and white after all was done:shhh:

 

[Pedro]

Here's a few more. I think what made the day go by so much easier is that we all got along really well. It kept everything flowing smoothly. And just for the record, i DID work on the tank, but i managed to get a few pics here and there. I read that disclaimer before they think i didn't work as i am in none of the pics, except for the group one. Tell them Awi, lol.

Jon, sorry i didn't get to say goodbye as i thought you were right behind me.

 

[Pedro]

Continuation...I couldn't get a clear shot because the water was still clearing up. But you can tell how nice the aquascaping came out. It looks SOOO much better in person. Awilda it was our pleasure to help out.

 

[scarf_ace1981]

for the record Pedro did work on the tank. well meet again pedro and i'll have my crappy cam w/ me. LOL

vengance is mine!:supermad:

everything flowed nicely since we were all open to new ideas as the build went along.

 

[deelucky]

[Awibrandy]

Thanks Pedro for all the work you did!! I'm amazed that you managed to get that many pictures with all the work you were doing.

YES, Pedro worked very hard, as well as everyone else. Kathy, hubby said you were a regular cleaner upper.
And they didn't leave such a mess either. :cheekkiss :hug: All around.
