Mr. Saltwater Tank

Inspiration Comes from You


Last night, a lady stopped by my place to pickup a frag of Oregon Tort and she told me that she reads my blog, watches the show and how she and her boyfriend talked about my blog the whole time during a 3 hr road trip.

Suddenly, the reasons I haven’t been posting (I’m tired, I don’t feel like it, Bridger is taking up all my time, what would I write about anyways?) were no longer important. In that moment, I actually saw that my site and my show could actually have an effect people.

All the doubts I’ve had about if what I’m doing would actually help anyone disappeared. It didn’t matter that I was tired, I had to write something, or brainstorm something, or talk to someone about being on the show. DO SOMETHING, BUT DON’T SIT THERE!

So I’m back at it. I’ve got more ideas than ever and keep the suggestions coming. And tell me about your tank…send pics, ask questions, FRAG SOMETHING!

    I just wanted to tell you that even-though I never post any comments on your site it has given me TONS and TONS of great information and a lot of things to think about. At first I didn’t get your “tank personality” thing, but now I think it makes a helluva lot of sense. So, keep up with what you are doing, you are contributing a lot to the community and I (and I think a lot more) are incredibly thankful for every piece of knowledge you are willing to share with us – from tank dabblers to reef junkies 🙂

    Thanks again

  • Mike…wow…thanks for the note. It means a lot to me to hear that.

    Sweden..hmm…a lot of Europeans here. Maybe I need to bring the family (and the show) over for a holiday and check out some of these tanks!

  • You are welcome! Lots of people from the UK watch my show so I think I need to make it over to the other side of the pond before too long.

    Mark, your site has been immensely helpful in pushing me from a dabbler to a mini junkie. Thanks a ton and keep ’em coming!!
