Jeremy at Premium Aquatics hooked us up again with some great discounts on prizes for the event. We should have just enough stuff to make it interesting. Remember there is no cost to particpate in the poker run itself but you must be a SLASH member to win prizes. You may signup for SLASH membership the day of the event. Here's what we got coming for our first ever SLASH Poker Run:

Best hand gets first pick of the following and we'll work our way down until there are no prizes left. Worst hand gets a T-shirt :lol:

Hanna Pocket Photometer Phosphate

Premium Aquatics Refractometer

Two Little Fishies Phosban Reactor 150

Maxi-Jet 1200 Pro

Plus, we'll have some SLASH T-Shirts and membership extensions! :celeb1:

Man, now I'm really bummed that I can't make this one! I always work Sundays! Stupid retail sales... lol

 

[Freddie57]

Well I wont be making this as my car is in the body shop for hail repairs

 

[Reeferhead]

We're adding one more visit (brandonb8) and making a slight change to the tank tour order. This shouldn't effect our timeline too much. I'll have addresses and directions available at Marine Solutions. See you all tomorrow!

MS (Noon)
Tradewinds
brandonb8
smoothdog
reefslugs
mustanglver98
rackman
Pirrones (~5:30pm)

 

[rackman]

awesome, seeing brandon's tank is well worth any change in plans we have to make!

 

[dbuesking]

Its like 6 pizza nights in one. This should be fun.:spin1:

 

[Badams75]

Will there be maps available at MS if we are 5-10 minutes late? Or could someone PM me the first address?

 

[Badams75]

We got the info. We will get to check some tanks out. Thanks

 

[brandonb8]

Thanks to all of those that came by today. Sorry I couldn't make it out for the poker run. Hopefully my vehicle will be ready by the next time we do one of these.

first one home!!!:dance:

i had a great time today. thanks to everyone who let us into your homes the tanks were all very nice. and thanks nick for getting it all mapped out.

now i got to go check my phosphates:wavehand:

 

[mustanglver98]

of course your the first one home. this was by far the best time i have had. got lots of good ideas from others tanks and cant wait to incorporate their ideas into my system. ie needing a bigger tank.

rackman i would like to try that phosphate checker out some time.

 

[Tradewinds]

Nick thanks for organizing this event, running the game, keeping us on track, and taking care of the prizes. It was a lot of fun seeing all the different tanks. Thanks to those that opened their homes and let us poke around their systems. Renee and I had a great time.

 

[Reeferhead]

Beth and I had a great time. Huge thanks to all our hosts. :thumbsup: I think this was a great first run and something we may need to do again at least once a year. How about some pics for those that missed out?
