Yeah its a small world. Doug was a Hoistman in the mine when it was still INCO. We have since been sold to a Brazilian company, VALE.

Doug's son Cliff is actually one of my converter operators in the Smelter, I'm currently working as a Foreman at the same mine.

And thanks for all the kind words, I appreciate them! I'll definitely post a few more pictures.

The plans as they stand now is a nice healthy mixed reef. I love the challenge of SPS, but love the look and sway of most LPS. I have a weakness for Zoa's, but they've just never done well in my tanks for some reason.

Hey. Hows things. Good to see you posting on Canreef. Whats local, WFF ?
And yes thats all correct about me. I guess Mike forgot. .I here they are closing my ole place up. Spent two years reconditioning that shaft before going hoisting.

My supplies always came from Winnipeg also but I use to order a lot of dry goods online from the US, before many Canadian online stores came out.

Yes the WFF is what I consider my local forum. I got into fishkeeping when I was attending the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg and became a part of the Aquarium Society of Winnipeg and the Winnipeg Fish Forum.

You heard right, they are intending to close Birchtree mine down in the fall of next year.

I get most all of my livestock from Winnipeg, and almost all of my drygoods shipped from J&L and BulkReef Supply.

Its inconvenient ... but if you want a Reef in the North ... You gotta put up with it lol.

This won't do, honestly someone ban him.. Since when do we let Maple Leaf fans post on Canreef? Isn't that rule 1 or 2 on the forum rules.

I think you should consider going into wood working your stand blows any other DIY/Custom built stand that I have seen. IT really shows the time and effort you put it if that goes into your Reef you won't have a problem keeping SPS.

Good Luck!!!

Ps. Serious about the Leafs comment.

And thanks for the compliments, non hockey ones haha

No problem.

Being from Northern MB myself (The Pas) I feel your pain in getting livestock up there either a long drive or an expensive multi plane ride. Can't wait to see everything fill in!

start a tank journal

What did you skin your stand in maple?

Beautiful woodworking on the stand. I look forward to seeing your progress.
