    I think it depends on how many people we have showing their tanks. I would like to be one of the later ones, if possible.

    I am game for any dates. If you guys want to include my house in the tour great, if not that is OK. Lot of fresh water and a small salt tank

    SGM, Sone and Brett PM me where you live so I can come up with a suggested map and times. You might also put in the PM directions so I can put that on the map in case people fall behind or start late.

    Yes, I'd like to attend.
    No, my tank will not be on the tour.
    The 15th works best for me.

    thanks!!

    Joel,

    You can count me in as well. I am looking forward to seeing new tanks, and meeting new people.

    Wow, it looks like we will have at least 10 people attending! And who said there wasn't much interest in the summer? [​IMG]
    Regardless of start time, I would like to be after 4PM.  My wife works the weekends on 3rd shift so she would kill me if I have people over before she gets up.  Well you can come over earlier if you are as quiet as a mouse!

    The tank tour is shaping up very nicely. Here are the details thus far. I have chosen a start time of 1 PM. Once I know where all the tanks are located we can decide where to start. I am putting together a document that I can send to everyone and will plan on including directions, a schedule and a map. This way people can join us in the middle if they wish.
    So can SGM and Brett please let me know their address's and maybe even directions so we can get things setup.

    I need to be removed from the list. I have to work, been trying to find someone to work for me, it's summer and it's difficult.
    Next time.
