    If it fits in the tour sure.It may fit real well if we don't get another tank to tour.
    Come on someone wants us to see their tank.

    If you are coming in to the tour today and look at this please post you are coming so I can give them an idea of how big a table we need for the group today, if not we may be standing there awhile waiting on a table. I am expecting around ten or so people, but am not sure.

    Thanks for stopping by everyone. I hope you liked my tank. Kinda simple but it works.
    Covey and Einstiens thanks for having me over your tanks were very impressive.

    Had a great time and a big thank you to everyone that opened their homes to us. All 3 tanks were amazing in their own ways and it just goes to show how many different methods we can use to end up with a great display.

    Just got home and wanted to get on and say how inspiring all three of the tanks were on the tour today. 
    Einstein.....Beautiful setup and lovely colors and choices in your tank.   I was really impressed with your colors if you couldn't tell.    (and I WANT a TANK ROOM!!) 
    Covey.......Your corals have really grown since I was there last.  I gotta say I love all that blue!  Beautiful!
    Ben (VVolfe) You have some really amazing LPS in that tank and I'm sure I didn't see them all.  And......it's not everyday that you get to see a herd of peppermint shrimp!
    For those of you that weren't able to join us, it was fun, I got to know some of you better  and I learned a lot .  I can't wait until the next time!!
    PS  Thanks Ryan and Racheal for bringing my Tubbs to me, I really appreciated it and I always enjoy talking to both of you.

    (Covey. maybe we should use reverse psychology on Travis and that avatar.  It might work)

    It was really great seeing all of you today.  Wow great tanks.
    Einstein - beautiful SPS tank and a very nice tank room, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
    Covey - Awsome growth and beautiful SPS, love that big zoo colony and I wish I still had that Monti cap that looks great in aquarium. Let me get a frag when my new tank gets up and running.
    Ben - Very nice LPS dominated tank, nice coloration and very clean and full of surprises.

    [​IMG] A herd of peppermints is an understatement.  You missed the herd of Emerald crabs [​IMG].  I did the same thing with them.  I think I still have 5 greens and a red mithrax crab.  When I got my tank it was filled with Bubble algea and Aptasia.  I forgot to put the one aptasia in my tank while you where here.  It is truely a site to see an Aptasia covered rock get stripped clean in minutes. [​IMG]
    Thanks for the frags. The milli's polyps opened right up after I put it in.
