Default Above and beyond (a huge thank you to Hillegom))

Every once in a while somebody does something that just makes you all warm and fuzzy inside.
I bought a light fixture for the 225g and couldn't find the hardware I needed to hang it. I went to Rona, Canadian Tire, and other hardware stores but to no avail. I went on-line and found them but you had to purchase a box of 1000. I posted on Canreef to see if anyone had any suggestions. Hillegom (whom I've never met before) pm'ed me to find out exactly what it was that I needed. (#8-32NC coupling nuts). He then went to at least three different places to find them - no luck. So he gets a hold of a machinist friend of his and drives out to Fort Langley to get them. Then he takes them to another friend who is coming up to Powell River to deliver them to me. I got them this morning and they fit to-a-tee.
Dietmar, I can't thank you enough my man!

Yup Diet is great. He insisted I take a small stick of Digitata during another trade and I was saying the SPS would not grow under my blazing 13w x 2 PC lights. He persisted and that damn piece of fuzzy stick grows like a weed in my 12 gallon, I love it.

If any retailers or vendors are looking for a good guy to trial free stuff, Dietmar would get my vote.

I'm still a couple of weeks away from hanging the light, but I'll post some pics when it's up.
