the new 17,000 gallon reefzilla thread

[ILLBKING]

Bill, there are many of us here that are your friend, with no strings, we just want to be involved with what you offer us. We love to look at your beutiful home and more importantly your tank. I hope you continue to post about your tank, if nothing else. That is what brought us all here in the first place.

[jared2]

And then there are some of us here that don't have huge sticks up are butt and are happy and excited for Bill in all regards!

Keep showing us pictures of your house; we don't mind seeing KittyKat either! ;-)

It's a free country (and free forum). If you don't want to read about something, skip to the next post.

Have fun! (that's what this is all about)

[Twitterbait]

We do have rules for posting and we need to ask that we please not flame. The forum is free but we all have to get along.

I must have missed something... hope it wasn't a picture of the big twin sump being filled or some electrics being wired for the lights in the beautiful, massive tank... I'm sure nobody was acting inappropriately... we're all friends here... right?

Hello all
This is a post I wish I would not have to write but I feel that there a lot to be said here . I really cant believe what went on here and what was said today .
I had a long talk with Kim tonight and found out that she did in deed write a pm to Becky That was crazy to say the least . Some of you might have caught this as Becky did post it for me to see . She was just looking out for me like she always has . Things between us might now be great but shes still there watching out for me . The reasons why me and Becky are apart are not really known to me , But then again iam not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to these matters . The things that Kim said in here latter were insane .
I told her on sunday that there would be no way we would ever be more than friends , Up until then I haven't give up on Becky , We were starting to talk again and things were going rather well . I was finally starting to some light at the end of this tunnel . Kim basically said in a nut shell in her letter that she wanted me all to her self not because she likes me but because i could give her the life every girl wanted . She seemed so Jealous of Becky to the point of insanity . It was really scary to read this letter . Its scary to see how some people think . I have the most respect in the world for becky leaving me , Most would not give up what she had . Thats just goes to show her character and how wonderful she truly was . I know after talking to her that she is quite upset that the delete her posts defending herself .
But when people started telling her to go hide under a rock that was just uncalled for . Its one thing to say something to me but To say something like that to her is where i draw the line . I can take alot of abuse but i will not stand for anyone belittling her in public or private . She truly enjoyed reading this site . She would come open here and read it every day . She has never caused any harm to me or anyone on here . The people who said these things should be ashamed of her . Kim is the real dirt bag her . I feel that was a pretty good chance we would have been back together soon I feel , Now I know there is no way in hell after that trouble Kim has caused , But this was her plan from the beginning .She needed to get rid of Becky all together. Becky is like my conscious , she always watched out for me and protected me from alot for people . I know it sounds weird but Its true and in turn I took care of her . Even after all we have through we still talked alot . I believe that certain people on this site own Becky an apploigie , and I would like to see to it that she gets it . You all enjoy reading about this house and this fish tank , well without her there would be no house or fish tank . She was the inspiration for all the things in my life . She is the one who drove me to build the house and she is the one who pushed me to build Fred a great big home , Or as she would say a big home for the Beebies .
She a wonderful Woman and Iam ashamed of myself for letting someome say the thing sto her that Kim did and then to have some of teh memberes here treat her liek she was teh problem when she wa sonly trying to help let everyone see what Kim was really up to . Liek i said befor there needs to be a few apploigies made to her and I do belive that The ban on here accound should be lifted . She did no wrong what so ever . A site liek this shoudl be lucky to have someone liek her on it even thou she dosnt say much she is still teh onky reason you guys have this thread to look at at all . Iam doubt full that i will ever post here again after this , there are alot of wonderful people where who I would be willing to invite into my home , and so I have done so already . But the words said by a few to the most important person in my life cannot be over looked . Many of you are married I would believe , How would you feel if someone said these things about your wife . Would you just stand there , I hope not . I would also like to ask the Mods to remove Kimmycats post on this site . I will repost what Becky said the other day I think It needs to be said . I would hope to see some people apploigise to Becky . I will no longer pursue Becky , I feel that that this incident proves she is much better of without me part of her life . Iam thankful for teh seven years she spenet with me , I just wish it would have lasted longer . Its time I stand up and Be a man and let her go she deserves it. Hopefully she can have a wonderful an fullfilling life with her new boyfriend . I hope all the Best for her . Her sign on here was Buck , she gotthis name from what my sisters kids calleded her , they could not pronounce Becky , so It came out Buck , I was uncle Booie .




This is what Becky wrote that got removed .


Hi Kim,
In the future, please don't make comments about my past relationship with Bill. I apologize that you feel that I have made Bill's life a living hell, but we ended our relationship quite some time ago. What he has made of his life since then was his own doing...and the same is true with mine. I am proud of him for being able to move on and continue with the house and fishtank. I know that everyone who reads this post is also very grateful that he has continued with the project.
I don't quite understand your comment that "he worked so hard to give her everything and this is how she treated him". Relationships end, and life goes on. We tried for a very long time to make it work, but there were many issues which we were not able to resolve. What I really don't understand is how so many people question not why I walked away from Bill, but rather why I walked away from the house, the cars, the money, etc. Even Bill tries to remind me of these "things" I walked away from. The problem is that he meets so many people that just want him for the money, that he thinks I will come back for that very reason.
You are correct that the house is absolutlely amazing. Bill and I put a lot of time and thought into designing it. Bill has told me that you have asked if you could move in with him. If he allows you, I'm sure you will enjoy it. I do hope that you are asking for the right reasons for Bill's sake. You are not the first of Tristan's ex-girlfriends to move onto Bill. Funny how that works...
Well, I wish you the best.

Bill,
Thanks again for the invite to Hawaii, but you know I simply could not have gone.















To this I wish you all a Farewell and a Goodbye .

Yours truly
William H Wann Jr.

Good luck Bill in whatever you do, try to take things with a grain of salt (no pun intended).
A few bad eggs doesn't tear down the chickencoop...
As far as the Married comment- I agree, but I'm also careful not to air my laundry on here as well...
I think things could go well here if we keep all the personal drama out of our posts. It's only when things get personal that we allow ourselves to get hurt.
Again, good luck in whatever your choice will be. Hopefully you can help this community and we can all put the past stuff behind us.

[LadyReefNeck]

Well said Fishyren!

Only thing I can add is ...

Bill, you are a very extraordinary person in many ways! Forget about other people. Live your life doing what makes you happy! That's all that counts.

Even though I wasn't involved, I'd pass along apologies to Becky.

I do hope you will return and keep us updated on the tank and house progress though.

[yuyiboy]

Bill;
I have gone through a lot in my life and have learned some useful things that might help you or others...
The only purpose that we have in life is to be happy with us.
The only control we have, ends at the tip of our noses, not beyond it.
Nobody causes the way we feel, we control that, and we can't help the way others feel.
There is no such thing as luck, just random events that fall in our favor sometimes or against us some others.
Bad things DO happen to good people, and vice-versa.
We should try and find the answers to things we can't explain instead of putting it all on god or someone else.
Life is NOT what you make of it. The only thing you can make something out of is yourself.
Life will happen to all of us, and we CAN'T control it. (again...it's beyond the tip of our nose)
You come into this world naked and will leave with what others pick for you to wear.
Don't if, but, or shame yourself EVER. Let others do that for you if they want to....They can you know...(their decisions)

Leave your worries on the night stand every night so you can sleep...You can pick them up in the morning.

Good Luck to you Bill!! Will miss the great work you do and share, But if you choose to do so....That is ok too. Remember...Your decision.

Good Luck and please take care of fred the wonder fish. 8-)

This is my favorite thread, gone for a few days and anything can happen

The thread is open - then it's closed - then it's open
Building the house - selling the house - building the house again
Pics are here - pics are gone - pics are reposted - then gone again - now they are back
Bill is here - Bill is gone for good - then back the next day - now gone again

I just want to see the dang tank get finished...
