BRS $65,000 Dream Reef Giveaway!

[BiggestE22]

I don't know if I could deal with the stress of $20k worth of live stock in one tank. I guess they are including a frag tank so at least you can keep backup frags.

It would be life changing. May have to get divorced but I would have a huge amazing fish room.

If I won it, I'd have to move into a bigger apartment...on the first floor. The build thread would look something like the following and you would all hate me for it.

Page 1: Oh crap, what now?
Page 2: Frantically looking for somewhere to live.
Page 3: Join me as I take a break from apartment hunting to go to chemo...don't lie, you'd watch.
Page 4: Throwing everything into trash bags and throwing them away because I don't want to move all my crap.

Page 5-12: A painfully long journey of moving down one floor to the apartment below me.
Page 13: Tank Build - Part 1... Unboxing Armageddon.
Page 14: How to use reef lighting to brighten up your kitchen.
Page 15: Crystal clear water in your toilet tank? Here's how to do it with spare aquarium equipment!
Page 16: Vegan refugium options for apartment life.
Page 17: Kitchen reef lighting failures: Why I have algae on my walls.
Page 18: Oh cool! What does this additive do?
Page 19: Doctor's office visit. The additive you should never drink.

I’d have to store it in my dad’s garage till I bought a new house. He wouldn’t mind…

When you win, can you give me a few of the empty boxes so that I can feel like I have top-end equipment?

Absolutely. And after getting a few photos, you could probably build an awesome fort.

My husband already figured out where it's going, better not disappoint him. He also says he's clearly in the wrong line of business.

I enjoy watching Randy and Ryan get excited about giving away this crazy amount of gear.

All those years growing up and hearing my father yell, "Hey, you?! Come here!" have lead to this moment in my 49 years ...

 

[Zach B]

I keep thinking to myself what happens if the winner is in a small apartment on the third floor (not that you can't be a passionate reefer in that situation.) but to win something like this and not really be able to use it.

Me on the other hand I have a perfect place for it in my man cave. So bring on the win!

P.S. I do hope whoever wins is on here and does a build thread so that we can follow what happens after the win.

I have been thinking for days that the winner has to have been "hand selected" out of the Preferred Reefers such that the prize goes to someone who has a suitable home and will keep most all of the equipment, set up the tank in their house, fulfill the trip to LA with Randy and Ryan to choose fish and coral, etc. and allow folks to follow along in the journey. It would not be nearly as cool (for us to see) if a college student living in a dorm with a 10 gallon nano who ordered salt in the last year won this crazy prize. Just to have a suitable place for the tank and a substantial foundation (joists) is an undertaking for many of us here on R2R.

Is this now a concerted effort to destroy the competition?
