Yes, it was a tiring trip and long commute (5 hours each way with two ferries to catch, each way), but well worth the effort.
We started setting up (Marie & I) around 12:30pm and finished by 1:45pm. After that, Jasper and his family spent 6 to 7 hours that afternoon/evening just sitting by their new reef tank looking at all the cool new inhabitants. So yeah, well worth the effort.
Wish I could have stayed longer but I had to catch up on my work after taking off for almost 3 days to go to Powell River.
Here's an extra treat for you photo-hungry reefers:
A quick snapshot of Marie's new 300g reef (yes, pic is too blue but just thought I'd add this into this thread anyways).
Thanks Marie for giving Felicia and I a place to stay while getting Jasper's reef tank up and running. Also major thanks for agreeing to provide the pre-mixed saltwater and taking care of the tank when Jasper's family are out-of-town. Literally could not have done this without you.
Sincerely,
Anthony & Felicia
