A generous portion of the proceeds will go to a charitable organization that works to improve our reefs and oceans. A bonfire at Fiesta island is tentatively scheduled for 04/23 (more info will be posted here)
Dan was a good friend and reef mentor of mine. A trip to Dan’s to grab coral was a rite of passage for many local hobbyists; he was generous with his time and knowledge. Over the coming weeks, Derek (fity2pounder) and myself (dizzyjay) will be helping the family to sell and dismantle his systems. There are some beautiful corals and fish of his that are accustom to the aquarium of true a hobbyist. Links to related “for sale” threads will be added here. PM any inquiries. For now, we mourn and remember a life taken too soon. Rest In Peace my friend.
