Fall 2006 TOTM Article

[joefitz]

Sorry for the delay in posting this... Huge thanks to Greg (Delta), Heater Thevenin, Chiminh Luu, Greg Hiller and everyone else who put time into making this article. Great stuff.

While it can be access via the horrifically ugly BRS TOTM website, I'll save everyone the trouble and link directly to the this entry:

Tanks like this are what we all aspire to create (so yes, that means you can blame people like Greg for every dime you've spent trying to do so). It's all his fault.

Great job on the article Joe.

Thanks for that, Dave You couldn't even spell the brand right, though!

Thanks for getting the article up, Joe.

Dohh!!! I recently mentioned in another thread that I am a stupid, stupid man.

Just an FYI, I had nothing to do with the article, the tank, or virtually any other useful part in this process. All credit to Greg, Greg, Heather and Chiminh.

I couldn't even do a 'Save as html' from MS Word properly! Ok, well, maybe it was more Word's (and Explorer's) fault than mine, but I could have at least checked the article in Internet Explorer before posting it to the world!

If anyone went to the site in IE and noticed it was basically unuseable because it was about 3 pages wide, that problem has been corrected. There were no line breaks between the images so IE was making the page wide enough to fit all the images side-by-side. Firefox was smarter, which is why I didn't notice.

I also corrected Heather's name (Heather not Heater Thevenin). Her husband is still dealing with the sober realization that he indeed did marry a human being and not a gadget for his tank. Please give him your support in this difficult time.

It turned out very nicely. I personally thank Greg, Heather and Chiminh.

I saw the picture, but the longnose filefish was not listed.
Do you still have him?

Very, very nice article and tank, kudos to all.

Just an over sight. As fat as ever.

great tank greg, wow...wow

Looks great. Congratulations Greg. Looks like all the hard work is really paying off.

My only question/suggestion is can the page be modified to see the full size images when you click on them? I feel ripped off not being able to see Minh's great photos in detail.

Either way it came out excellent and thanks to the people that put it together for everyone.

Thanks Matt that is a very good idea. And was partly considered but we are still working out the kinks in the new crew the biggest problem was me.

We hope we made a good showing off the start but intend to get better as we go. So Knowing what people think is a big help.

A big thanks goes to Minh for taking the photos and Heather (Mrs. Delta) for writing the article.

Not to forget Greg Hiller for letting come to his house to do the article and his gracious wife for making sure we didn't go hungry.

We really enjoyed the project and are looking forward to doing the next one

Yes everyone gets a special treat of a good laugh on my account.

Yuck it up

[TomD]

That is unreal Greg. Being a newbie, I got a headache just looking at the sump room, never mind the tank!

 

[OceanGuy]

Super tank. Glad to see the pictures. thanks to all who put it together.

> I got a headache just looking at the sump room<

I like to say Rube Goldberg, eat your heart out!!!

Also for the record, I change about 10% per month of tank water.
