First of all I'd like to thank R2R and the Rev for providing us a place to buy, trade and sell some great pieces. Meeting people here and gaining knowledge has made it my favorite place on the internet. Secondly, I'd like to thank two different vendors for their great communication, prices and amazing corals. One R2R vendor wasn't enough :wink: so a local friend I met on here (Cryptics) and I decided to buy from two of them. Thank you Aquatic Obsessed and Joe Knows Reefs for some great communication, excellent prices and amazing pieces. As some of you may know, I brought together the Rok city Growout almost one year ago and though there have been bumps along the road, we are getting close to finishing up and distributing many of the pieces we've collected. John(Cryptics) and I have decided due to the amount of troubled growouts, to keep this between two people. With chalices, some species are extremely slow growers or overly sensitive, taking sometimes years to grow out. With only 2 people growing together, it will make it immensly easier to communicate and distribute the pieces and of course, this thread will provide a place to post pictures, updates and info. On the side I'm also growing out several pieces with my good friend Bill (salty dog) and I promise to pay special attention and care to every piece I'm growing, as well as continuing to devote most of my time encouraging their growth and continued health. I'm a very hands on grower, never go on vacation :cry: and test constantly. Anyway, communication is key so as always, any of you guys can contact me at anytime of the day, via pm's, telephone or instant message on my phone. Also, my home and systems are available to you guys for inspection at anytime.
