you do help alot of ppl and in a round about way have helped me in the past after reading some of your advice and suggestions. in that i want to thank you.

but i do agree some ppl ask for help and ignore you anyways. if i know something that can help i will try. but always fear ill say the wrong advice since inonly a 3 year old reefer and myself still learning. my best help is that im always lurking and reading and seeing stuff on other sites others are looking for here or otherwise and point ppl to deals.

i hate living in sask we have a couple lfs but nothing like it seems other provinces have...i have tank envy..lol

but denny you are one of the tank guys i follow ilike your ideas and innovation keep it up

:behindsofa: ps main reason i dontreply alot my spellying and typing skills suck lol.. and my netbooks broken space bar doesnt help

i also agree there are some awesoem deals by new members hehe:)

plus ones with low posts are generally new members so even if it is just for the buy/sell section it still brings in new members......still in my mind though slightly less than the ideal member i mean even a quick hello or random shot over 2 yrs is prob not un reasonable lol:pppp

Well, we, the staff, have discussed this before and thought about limiting or restricting it. However, it was my thought that even if a person only comes here once to sell something, and a Canreef member gets a deal that they might not otherwise get, it's a good thing for the real board members.

Now, if this is not a popular consensus amongst the members, I'd be willing to re-open the discussion with the rest of the team and see what we come up with.

I just figured everyone would like to see deals offered, even if it isn't from a "contributing" member...

OMG, drilling glass holes in perfectly good tanks for the first time is nerve wracking
I did 4 test holes on some scrap. Then 1 hole in a Chaeto tank, 1 in a new water tank and 1 of 2 in the sump.
I had to take a break before I rush the last sump hole :drinking:
And although more could be said, I'll leave it up to the more brave members to do so :mrgreen:

I had the hole locations marked out with tape, drilled the first one, and took a break.
I started drilling the second one, and, thankfully, noticed it didn't look right :nono:
I scored the inside of the sump, but not enough to worry about, right where the bubble trap goes :frusty:
I only went in about 1/16", so I'm just going to ignore it and possibly put a plate over it on the inside. But now it won't be really clean looking Grrr
At least it's on the inside
Not that I need a :hug:, but I wanted everything perfect
Crap, this is going to eat at me

Well, I guess it's no worse than other things the rest of us have done.
Like I said, at least I can save the sump.

I have to agree here. Why would you not allow it...we are already a clicky forum. I see it as the place to come even if it is only once to sell off stuff. And ultimately you have the option of buying or not. So I say yes to newcomers, and no to discrimination. :biggrin:
