Eric V. Van Der Hope asks for Your Help?

Hello all saltwater fish and reef keeping enthusiasts!

Yep - as the title suggests, I'd like to ask for your help.

Recently, Fishlinkcentral revamped their website and changed their voting criteria for saltwater fish-related and reef keeping sites!

As a result I've set up a new voting link to vote for our site.

It looks as though everything on fishlinkcentral has been reset - so we have a clean slate to work from - so let's getto the #1 rating we were at once before!

Not sure how often we can all vote - but you certainly can't vote for the site more than once per day!! (even 2 days.)

Bummer! :o(

Anyways . . . could you please take a moment to vote for our website - it'll take you just a few seconds to click on through.

Here's the url to vote our site back to #1:

http://vote.reefkeepingbasics.com

Give our site a 5 out of 5 (that's an excellent)!

Catch all you 'salties' and 'reefers' later!

Eric

P.S. School is fast approaching which means hopefully it'll get busy at our forum! :o) So come visit with us soon and lets 'talk shop':

I'm disappointed and I'll tell you why!

Hello everybody!

I'm disappointed - and I'll tell you why . . . !

I prepared a letter and sent it to all my readers last week.

The reason for the mailing was to announce the 3 winners of my book 'Reef Keeping Basics - Successful Reef Management'.

However, the 3 recipients of the book have not replied!

I'm guessing perhaps these individuals simply changed their email address or their isp's are filtering their mail!

Yikes! :o(

However, hopefully you'll benefit by the this!

How?

What I've decided to do is to randomly select 3 different individuals to win my book!

===== And the Winners are =====

1. Jared Russouw from East London, South Africa

2. Candis Snider from Linwood, North Carolina

3. Simon Liu from Melbourne, Australia

===== ^^^^^^^^ =====

Remember, if your name is included here, you must contact me immediately! You must reply within a week or you will not qualify!

Why the deadline?

I'm simply trying to award those who take action! :o)

Best of luck!

Humbly,

Eric

Announcing the 3 Winner's of Reef Keeping Basics

Every reader of my eZine/blog are eligible to 'win' a free copy of my book!

So make sure you are subscribed or you won't qualify - that's it! :o)

This is my little way of letting you know that I'm true to my word, because if you'll notice when you surf to my main site:

http://www.reefkeepingbasics.com

you'll find that anyone who signs up is eligible to win!

How will it work . . . ?

I will personally pick 3 readers randomly - the day I decide to do it will not be 'set in stone', so announcing it on any given day is what you should expect!

Those I've selected must reply within a week or they will sadly be disqualified! :o(

So, without further ado, here are the next 3 recipients to get a free copy of my book, Reef Keeping Basics - Successful Reef Management:

===== And the Winners are =====

1. Hakob Arakelian from Athens, Greece

2. Monique Fleming from Gilbert, Arizona

3. Bryan And Amy Haldeman from Kennewick, Washington

===== ^^^^^^^^ =====

Remember, if your name is included here, you must contact me immediately!

Best of luck!

Humbly,

Eric
