    We have a hitch hiker coral in our tank that we can't figure out what it is and are offering a free frag (of another coral) to whomever on the tour can positively identify it!

    For those of you showing your tanks, a big thank you for letting us into your homes. It really was an amazing experience for someone who is starting out in the hobby. I have to admit by the end of the tour my brain was in sensory overload....actually after Ninja's house i couldn't think staight. Armydog saw my questionable driving manuever which i am blaming on coral overload.


    I am not sure who organized it (Zoobie??) But I also want to thank them as well.

    Good job on putting the tank tour together Zach. It was good to seem some tanks that I hadn't seen before - and then to also seem some favorite tanks that I've been at a few times!!!! Nice turnout on a nice spring day.
