Shout out to the "Diesel" man (1 Viewer)

[Cathman]

Any of you who have been around long enough have seen some of his generous offerings of help to total strangers at times. He has also posted many informative articles, along with donating items to the club and raffles. I recently purchased some frags from him, but my tank was "sick" at the time. He agreed to hold them for me until i felt comfortable picking them up. Well almost 6 weeks later i finally felt my tank was well again and was ready to add those beauties.

His tank is just, well.....WOW!!! Beautiful selection of corals, beautiful coloration and placement, and beautiful selection of fish. And best of all....he sat and answered every annoying dumb question I had . He even showed me what he used to help all the above things along. Best of all, it wasn't anything any of us couldn't get to use on ours. Oh, and best part....I was oogling over a piece he had, next thing I know, snip, glue, fragged right then and there. Generous does not describe what I have seen from this guy.

I saw the stuff a while back, and I am not sure what the resolution was, but I sure hope you are still out there and lurking Diesel....I for one really appreciate all you have done for myself, and what I have seen for the local reefing community. Hope to see you around and THANKS!!!!

Ya I noticed how quiet Marsh was with him not around too. I was thinking about asking where he was at too. Just don't call him Van Diesel

Ben's amazing! Super helpful and informative...he's watching one of my fish for me right now and he had no obligation to do so. Our community is really lucky to have a guy like him.

Super lucky I bumped into him at FJW and got some pretty cool helpful tips from him. Picked up a few corals from him that have been thriving in my new tank. He's open book and you can ask him anything . You may want to bring a lawn chair with you , if you get the chance to meet this guy. you can talk to him for hours and hours. as I experienced .

Met him for the first time last night! He gave me a few frags of some softies since my tank was new, and of course a ton of advice! He even told me to come back later when my tank was more mature and he would give me an SPS frag of his!
