    So I was thinking about it, my place is far to small to provide room for 20+ people, I think it would be best if we had the "central" Cedar Falls stop at UNI's tank. Anyone who wants to stop over after the tour is more than welcome to come by and check out my tank.

    I'll get the entire route posted as soon as I confirm some addresses. I look forward to seeing everyone there!

    Don't forget to check out Craig's awesome donation to a tank tour raffle and sale prices the day of the tour:

    BTW

    I should be at the store all day working, so if people want to come early & hang out they are welcome. My kids will be happy to show you around & talk your ear off.

    Thanks for everyone who attended, thanks to everyone who opened their store/house to us for a stop, and thanks Craig for donating the pump and bucket of salt to the raffle!

    I hope everyone who stayed til the end of the tour and got their mangroves is happy with them! Sorry to the people who left early and missed out on this...

    It was a great turnout again, I look forward to the next get together!
