Above and beyond (a huge thank you to Hillegom))
 

Every once in a while somebody does something that just makes you all warm and fuzzy inside.
I bought a light fixture for the 225g and couldn't find the hardware I needed to hang it. I went to Rona, Canadian Tire, and other hardware stores but to no avail. I went on-line and found them but you had to purchase a box of 1000. I posted on Canreef to see if anyone had any suggestions. Hillegom (whom I've never met before) pm'ed me to find out exactly what it was that I needed. (#8-32NC coupling nuts). He then went to at least three different places to find them - no luck. So he gets a hold of a machinist friend of his and drives out to Fort Langley to get them. Then he takes them to another friend who is coming up to Powell River to deliver them to me. I got them this morning and they fit to-a-tee.
Dietmar, I can't thank you enough my man!

wow thats awsome lance im glad it worked out for you. posts like this is what intrigues me the most about this hobby.yes sure the fish and corals are awsome to look at but the help and extra mile ppl will go to help someone they have never met amazes me. and is nice to hear about.

:dance: Wow! That is fantastic Lance. :smilecol: What a nice thing to do Dietmar. :smilecol: Some amazing people on here with out a doubt.

Yup, Dietmar is a stand up guy. Gave me a power supply for my LED fixture for future consideration in coral frags :)

Yup Diet is great. He insisted I take a small stick of Digitata during another trade and I was saying the SPS would not grow under my blazing 13w x 2 PC lights. He persisted and that damn piece of fuzzy stick grows like a weed in my 12 gallon, I love it.

If any retailers or vendors are looking for a good guy to trial free stuff, Dietmar would get my vote.

Hey, thanks people, I'm blushing now.

Yup Some people will just out of the blue give the shirt off their backs and want nothing in return. that is what great about this hobby,:mrgreen:

So how about some pictures Lance

I'm still a couple of weeks away from hanging the light, but I'll post some pics when it's up.

Good to hear Lance, I'm glad it worked out for you. I always love how people on here are willing to help out.
