I would like to take this time to nominate
RD.
for an upgrade to Gold Tier “Esteemed Contributors” Award.
Whether it’s advice on health & care issues, tank set up & maintenance, species ID – not to mention some pretty nice photos with a $20 camera – the depth and breadth of his contribution to MFK over the years is rivaled by only a tiny handful of long-time, VIP members.
Just to follow protocol, here are but a few of his well-known and often visited Threads that have helped literally thousands and thousands of fish keepers from around the world. The fact that a good number of these are Stickied threads tell us a lot about his knowledge and quality of his input.
Treating Hexamita aka Spironucleus
Cost Effective Water Conditioners
The Use of Probiotics in Aquaculture (Read!)
Garlic and the Prevention of Disease
And while I know that not everyone is super keen on his at times blunt, no-nonsense styles of input and delivery, I think nearly everyone on MFK respects his knowledge and passion towards advancing the hobby on this site for so many years.
Along these lines we must also note his perseverance and loyalty to MFK itself: through thick or thin and any ups or downs the site has celebrated/endured over the years, RD. has stuck around and helped significantly with others to carry the torch further and higher. That's called dedication.
If there were an Award for “Defender of MFK Keep” I’d nominate him for that, but as it is Gold Tier “Esteemed Contributor” seems deserved recognition for his efforts as one of the site’s stalwart contributors for well over a decade.
What say you MFK?
