My entry (I can't join but you'll get the idea:D )

I've shared the Facebook post!

The most rewarding thing I've done in this hobby isn't really even dealing with the hobby directly. While corny, it's true. With my own tank, being able to Pay it Forward (PIF) is limited to those who'll make the long drive to NWI. By being Admin I’m able to give you all ChicagoReefs as a giant PIF. Being able to have the site for you all to call home, just visit and enjoy giveaways. Great people just like [MENTION=3095]Crued[/MENTION] [MENTION=171]DJE[/MENTION] are just two of the recent members of the many others who donate back to the community, while I put the profits of the forum right back by buying the ChicagoReefs sponsored giveaways.
 
ok the thread is open for entry, let's hear your stories :D

IF you don't social media at all, or don't facebook, just have someone you know share the page for you.
It's all about sharing the site with the greater audience, seeing what other like minded people are out there who don't know about us.

Just link their FB post when you reply to enter the giveaway.
 
This skimmer is a beast... Mines been running for 9 days and is pulling out some nasty stuff. Someone is going to get s nice upgrade!!!
 
1,2,&3 checked off! Thanks again for doing this amazing giveaway [MENTION=3095]Crued[/MENTION].

The happiest/most rewarding thing about this hobby for me is just meeting people and making new friends. I never thought I would meet so many friendly, helpful, interesting, and generous people in a hobby. It's cheesy but it's true.

I think to me the most rewarding thing in this hobby is having a tank to watch and calm me down. It really is amazing watching the fish in their environment that you created in your own home!

Thank you Crued this is an awesome giveaway you rock!

Most rewarding was giving my last living clown, who had been with me for years, and swam in that toilet I called a neglected tank for months, to some polish dude who came over and gave me a 6 pack of polish beer (unrequested) and gave clowny a new home.
 
Shared on FB.
Most rewarding thing for me in this hobby is to see beautiful fish and corals when I come home. I just stare at my tank and am still amazed by it everyday. It's also really nice when you can sit back and say you did it all yourself.
 
Facebook shared. I'm in.
The happiest thing for me in the hobby is watching my hard work go to fruition by seeing all my mature SPS corals that I started as frags. I've also met a lot of pretty cool people in this hobby.

Write a short bit about The FUNNIEST or HAPPIEST or MOST REWARDING thing you have gone through in this hobby. - One of the most rewarding things is just seeing a tank mature and grow. Seeing your fish start as tiny and grow. Or coral colonies grow out of little frags. And It still always make me happy when people see the tank and go wow this is amazing, that is a reward all in its own.

Members reef tank update - always!

Most rewarding thing I have done was getting serious and starting to test my water and dose appropriately. This happened a few months back and my success with SPS keeping, even with a medium bio load, is going extremely well.

Most notable changes are in my RR pieces I picked up from AP. the colors I am getting from these pieces is unreal and they continue to improve!

Funniest thing I have done is try to catch my stupid pistol shrimp and watchman goby. They have to be one of the worst things to put in your tank. The bastards would steal everything. Lost almost all my rics, due to them. I set up a bottle with some food and a fishing line and went to work. Sat by the tank like an idiot and tried getting them as soon as they got in to the bottle. Wife thought it was the funniest thing ever stalking that bottle. She didn't want to get rid of it of course. They were very cool to watch together, but never again!!! I caught the fish multiple times, but that damn pistol was just to fast. Finally got them out when I broke the tank down. It was even hard to get him with everything out.

Wow, and Once upon a time, I thought I might try that pair in a tank, and now I think I'm glad I did not. Funny tale...
 
Most reward aspect of this hobby to me is watching my corals grow and thrive. I can literally spend hours in front of my tank, even at nights with the lights off with a flashlight. I have had some hardship with corals not growing or dying so when I see corals are growing, the amount of effort put in is well worth it to me.

Most rewarding thing about being in this hobby is all of the people I met, people who used to live here that dont and i Still talk to them. I've gained multiple friends on here that even years later I still talk to.
 
Done and done.

Most rewarding thing is watching corals grow and knowing it takes a lot of work but it's all worth it at the end. It's not an easy hobby but when your tank thrives, it makes you proud.
