Iowa City area tank tour.

[Bullet]

Who is up for an Iowa City area tank tour? With a holiday and IMAC in April it looks as if the weekend of the 22nd is when it has to be. This can be a great time to have a lot of eyes on your tank and a perfect time to ask for suggestions on how to improve your tank. All we need to know is who is interested in letting us see their tank and we will get a route and time frame prepared from there.

Sure, I will open up my place.

Bah, Bob beat me to the post.

Well, I'd be interested in having people tell me how ugly my tank looks and what I need to do fix it. It would take bout 5 minutes to look at my tank setup. Nothing fancy at all.

I would love to see Iowa's best if you guys have it on Sunday.

I know Grinnell is a little far to drive (1hr) to start it off but welcome to do so. If not I can bring some treats and join the tour!!

To the Top you go.

I won't be able to have my tank in the tour after my recent problem with the anenome spawning or something almost entirely crashing my tank.

It's finally stabilizing again and would hate to have some people come over and scare it into a crash again ;p

What day do you guys want to do it? Saturday or Sunday? It makes no difference to me.

So far we have:

DL1030
Tolkein6
Me
Sgarrett....(what are eveyones thoughts on this?...its about and hours drive)

Who else we have out there we can stop in and see? Please post even if you are just going to join us in the tour.

 

[Bullet]

Anyone else want to invite us over to see your tank? So far we only have 3 stoppes.

 

[tolkein6]

I can have people over Sunday, have to work Saturday.

How about we meet at my place at around 2pm. Saturday? We can take a look at my tank and then head out from here. Once we are done looking at everyone's tank I will throw on some burgers and dogs on the grill and we can dive into a cooler of beer. Nothing fancy because the wife will be gone this weekend!

 

[dl1030]

Or with the lack of intrest, would we want to car pool up to WLoo and see their tanks this weekend? I have been considering driving up since they have a pretty good tour lined up.

 

[Bullet]

That is not a bad idea Dave. We will just have to show everyone how to party when we have the summer frag/grill out her in town!

Let me see if I can find a sitter for Saturday afternoon. If I can I would be up for going up to Waterloo too.

LOL you guys just want in on our fun......come on up we would love to have you.....just give me a head count so i can plan for the burgers and such

 

[waverz]

Just make sure you got a DD for the ride home!!

 

[got2lb]

Man if all you guys are coming up IT BETTER NOT RAIN!!!

Bob my kids will be running around here so yours are more than welcome. Plenty of toys for them!

 

[dl1030]

We own the rest of Iowa when it comes to partying! Iowa City rules!


I just need to find someone to feed the pups, shouldnt be hard. So WLoo tour you can count me in.

I will have your snails glaspie, and frags got2lbs.

Well, if you guys want to stop by my tank on the way up to Wloo you can. It's finally starting to perk back up and my SPS which was bleached from some unknown event is starting to get its color back slowly but surely.

I could use some tips on how to remove the anthelia and change rockwork around

Next month, I'm gonna be finally getting a sump made from Hung at SoM so I can hook up the EV180 skimmer.

Can you pm me your address? I'd like to come over tomorrow for the tank tour in IC if you guys don't mind. Are you still planning on kicking it off at 2pm?
