I will be in constant touch with them through email, Skype and telephone. I will also be giving his family a crash course in reefing while I am there. I still need to discuss in-town help with a couple of reefing friends who live in Powell River and have years of sw experience.
Marie is already going to be providing water out of her 300+g system for the initial top-up. I plan to leave her with a bucket of IO.
I am getting a friend to build a custom DIY LED system so that bulb replacement should not be a maintenance issue.
Between now and when I go up to PR, I am going to try to make this as stress-free a system as possible.
If Jasper does not have a webcam, I will bring him mine so that he can point it at the tank and enjoy seeing his fish & corals even if he is on a bucket list trip or in the hospital.
Please let me know if any of you have any other ideas that can be incorporated into this bucket list project.
If any local reefers come for the bbq/get together to drop off their donations and discuss the project/eat/chat with other reefers, I plan to take lots of pics including a group pic to give to the family so they can see that there is a whole reefing community behind Jasper's fight against cancer. I wish all of you could be there but for those of you out-of-towners, thank you again for all your support and encouragement for a boy that really none of us know and most will never meet.
Sincerely,
Anthony
