A great FW tank beats a mediocre SW tank any day...

I'm down for looking at freshwater tanks. It's where most of us started out, or at least I did.

Hey guys what is the update with this? I am starting to feel like it is not going to happen :-( Who are we waiting on? and what is your ET for being ready? Remember guys your tank doesnt have to be absolutely perfect. :-)

ok so here's what I think we do,

I have done the " a few customers got together and traveled to about 3 different tanks tour" so I know that it became a fast and furious go go go and was not able to maybe ask the questions etc. so maybe we do one or two max and keep them with in a short distance of each other so we can see without driving for 30 minutes. So does anyone else live sorta in the woolmarket area? if not we will just do Sandy's otherwise we will make one more.
Now to pick a date.... it needs to be in the evenings maybe 6:30-7:00 pm, so I can make it! and I would imagine Fri or Sat? or would any night be good for most of us? NOW is the time to speak your piece if times and days are important to you!

Sandy and Jennings are first they both volunteered, then we will do 2 more in another 3-4 weeks, make it kinda a thing to do once a month. So I am thinking 2 weeks from this Friday > 30th directions to the tanks will be given by me by pm only. You must be a signed up member to go on the tour. This way we build up membership and can weed out casual drifters who are not known by our community of local patrons.

I would like to go and if we only do a couple a month it will give my plants time to mature for better presentation.

Since most of you don't know me Hi. I have been a freshwater fan forever and just recently returned to the hobby after years with the military. Gerwin has been a god send in helping me stock and maintain my tanks. I am interested in the salt side and would like the opportunity to view your tanks for ideas and options. I hope to meet you all on the tour.
