Reef Dork is my favorite YouTuber he's where I got most of my starting knowledge! The reason I got Naoko's and never chromis or anthias.
Reef dork is the reasons I have almost $100 in magnets (that shipping will get ya) arriving today. They are to make more of these:

I saw Ryan in August, and actually saw Alex two years ago.
The pros of knowing one of the smartest reefers in England (He’s the owner of my further away LFS but also worked in the LFS I worked in in 2020/2021) I guess :)
NO FREACKING WAYYYYY. I‘m so jealous :frowning-face::pleading-face::face-with-tears-of-joy: I would LOVE to meet them. (Get some corals at a cheaper price too ;)) The closets I ever get to talking to them is being mentioned in their live streams lol. So he worked the same place you worked or you worked where he worked before?

The guy who owns my further away LFS is the person who got me into working in an LFS environment and I’m hoping to go work with him again for a week in July (17th-21st).
I like to say ‘Why have the information but never share it’ and one of my favourite ways to do this is through working in an LFS.
@i cant think how did you even meet the two of them?
I didn’t really talk to them however I met Ryan at my further away LFS’s one year anniversary and I saw Alex at the LFS I worked in.
The guy I like speaking to and sharing information with has been featured in a few of Alex’s videos.

How did you realize lol. Sorry for the questions it’s just…….:star-struck: Lol :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
Honestly I don’t remember, it just passed that I recognised him and then I was talking to the guy and he mentioned who he was.

Yes! He’s one of my favorite YouTubers as well! Figured that’s why you had a Naoko too lol. And that’s why I wan to get one! Sorry @i cant think Alex beet you to it lol. Now I have a question to ask you. Do you watch his Live Streams with Ryan? Are you the one with the BSE as the prof? With the name that you like weird things? Is this U! Have I been seeing you constantly but just didn’t know! Is it you? (Got a little excited didn’t I :squinting-face-with-tongue:)


Never noticed my YouTube profile ? It's also my banner image. Also who else owns a banded?

So yes that is me. Most of my comments are dumb jokes which get pinned a lot somehow

I was wondering which wrasse was obvious and then the ‘cryptic’ wrasse appeared in the corner.
He’s beautiful!

I remember that video. That is a good idea. I spent way too much on a faux magnetic rock that doesn't really work as coral and Coraline won't grow on it.

Thanks for coming over and thanks for being practically the only one to follow my original build thread that this replaced!

I did send you that a while ago haha.

Unfortunately the flasher became more and more cryptic and then disappeared. Have no idea where or why as I never saw bullying except once from the pink streak.

Was that eelysium? I've just started a bunch of new ones.

With what bra wants for the faux rock it's easy to spend too much. I can't wait to get at least one made.
