    All are welcome to attend this event and check out tanks, you don't need to show your tank to join in on the tour. This is a great event to get ideas on setting up different types of systems and meet some locals.

    Please RSVP (the drop down under the event info) if you plan on attending

    Since this would be my fist tank tour, I need to ask a simple question. Is this kid friendly? :)

    @Floppy@Floppy as long as everyone that is showing their tanks is fine with kids. We've had people bring kids before with no problems.

    actually 5 or so is what we try and do for these. We have a tendency to spend more time than planned at each stop. Between stops and driving it turns into too long of an event if you do much more than that.
    Once we got that number we really stopped actively seeking volunteers. If we had continued to push for volunteers I'm sure we could have found some. It's also easier to find volunteers when their is a bigger active group that attends events regularly. Hopefully we are headed that way again. I think we're off to a good start with activity this year.

    I didn't think about our other pets, we have two dogs as well, so if anyone has bad allergies they may want to skip my stop. They are very friendly though!

    I just wanted to thank everyone who opened up their homes for the club to show their tanks and tanks in progress zone. It was also awesome to meet new people in the area that shares this hobby. Hope to meet more people at the next meeting!
