I do like the Tank Help idea as well as all other ideas.
Sass, I emailed Reef gen this morning. They are located at the Long Island Aquarium. Hopefully, we can set something up. I will try to call as well.
I guess we are looking for more of a day trip thing... Which makes the most sense, IMHO. We could possibly rent several Vans and head down to NYC for the various aquariums and specialty stores as well as Long Island and then come across on the Ferry.
LMK what people are thinking as far as places to visit and I will get in touch with them. I have plenty of free time this week. (Slow at work) I can make some phone calls and email as needed.
I know there are plenty of stores and specialty stores in NYC and Long Island. Maybe I will get in touch with a NYC Reef Club and get some advice....
LMK what you Guys and Gals are thinking....

FWIW, I think the NY Aquarium may still either be still closed post-Sandy or only partially running? I've never been to Manhattan Aq., But Max Reefs is my primary LFS, so highly recommended (could also do Greenwich Aquaria). Would love to go see other folks tanks - or volunteer my own (should have my new 265 up and running within the next two weeks). Simon

The NY Aquarium is partially open, I haven't been there but a coworker from the city says it isn't worth the trip/ money to see.

I've been told otherwise.
It would not be a bad idea to support the aquarium either way.

This would be a really cool idea, and would only need to be a day trip. I for one, don't really want to sit on a bus to New York City

project O in groton also has drag boat tours
They definitely do, I'm heading up there in a few weeks with my two sons for a Cub Scouts event - even get to sleep beside the tanks (in fact it was this same event in the spring that got me back into the hobby).

Project O is pretty sweet. I've been out with then 4 times. Very interesting trip.
