|  Who would be willing to be a Mentor for beginners/novices,Etc. ?
Hey every one I was wondering ( inlight of a recent post that a fellow reefer was looking for a mentor )
If some of you experianced fellow 3reefers would like to "mentor" a beginner/novice thats looking for such.
My therory was that when new comers and even the fairly experianced came on looking for some one to hang/tag along with on a regular basis , they might not realize that "you" the experianced reefer would be able to or want to show them your tricks of the trade at having a beautiful reef all the time.
( Taking them under your wiing as it were )
I see so many great vids/pics of ya'lls tanks, it be an easy way to buddy up.
Or no, this is a terrible idea ?
Ive asked Matt about it and he said that's fine of course , I would write out
an article and you really great reefers could post/throw your hat in the ring
and say "hey im availible". _________  220gal.(in wall) 75gal. sump 30gal. refugium 3x400 10K metal halides 2x160 72inch super blue actinics agua C skimmer 4x24 inch detronaitor tsumami waver maker x3 power heads ------------------------------ It's like art' some do it with paint and brush, We do it with salt and water |

Great idea! Has anyone tried dropping mentors into diet coke? It foams like crazy!!!
But seriously, mentoring would be a cool thing. How would it work?
