    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".

    I think it's a great idea, but since I stay confused about it most of the time, I don't think I'd make a good mentor. Maybe what not to do Mentor LOL Geekdafied and Wildreef are my Mentors(whether they wanna be or not) ;) wad it up!!!!!!

    I think the general idea is great, but remember that what works for you, might not work for me. Every system is different, in every sense of the word. I'm trying it out as we speak, I'll let you know how it goes. Luna;D

    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?
