      Unhappy In memory of Ron Luong, XO presents.

      Hey fellow reefers! I’m not as active as I was before but I wanted to inform you guys that Ron Luong aka XO Presents, has just passed away on Friday, August 28, 2020. Ron was a great community leader that always tries to help whenever he can. I would like to ask this great community to help out a fellow reefer’s family in this time of need. His family started a Gofundme page to help take care of medical and funeral expenses. Every little bit counts in this time of need. Thanks again fellow reefers.

      Rest in a reef paradise Ron, you will be missed.

      Rest is paradise brother. I was lucky enough to meet Ron. Very humble guy. First time I saw him was at Aquasd.. He came up to me and asked me are you nanoreef1? I started laughing and told him yup that’s me! You will be missed brother..

      Absolutely so stunned to hear this. A fellow old school reefer sent me a message on fb with the gofundme. Ron was one of the nicest people I've ever met.....donated so much of time and always dressed to the nines in a suit. And that hair....I always commented on his hair (as I'm bald). Seriously though, so sad to see a young man pass way too soon. I believe he still ran my old 120g reef. Rest In Peace Ron...may you continue to shine down above us.

      Oh WȚF?!? This is truly sad news! Ron was a pretty good friend of mine and though we hadn't spoken in a while, strangely enough he actually popped into my head just the other day and I'd been meaning to reach out to say hey and see how he was handling this whole covid thing...I've known Ron for longer than I've been on sdr and for the last 7 or 8 years he was one of my reefing buddies that I could always count on as my reef emergency contact when I would be traveling if there were ever a problem with my tanks.

      This is so saddening to hear that he's no longer with us, he really was one of the most kind and genuine souls I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and this world is a little darker without him

      We'll miss you Ron

      I saw this post earlier. Still can't believe it. Wish I had gotten back into this sooner. Kind hearted and selfless. You could tell he was a good person just from the energy of being around him. Rest in paradise my friend.
