Tank Tour 07' Cedar Rapids/IC Area

waverz

Slave to the reef!
It's looking like Sept. 9th will be the date for this tour. Please say if you would like to be a stop on the tour so we can get things planned out. I know we have a couple volunteers for a BBQ/Final stop, we need to decide on that as well.
 
I definitely would like to go on the CR tour and would be willing to be a stop if anyone is interested. I've been wanting to join the club, guess it's as good a time as any to pay my dues!
My setup is only 2 months old and I don't have any corals, just fish at this point, but I would love some advice/criticism. I added a pic below so you can get some idea of what I've got. If it suits the tour please let me know.

Looks pretty good hopper! Little bit of a hair algae prob. going on but with some time you can get that whipped into shape.

Looks like the fish are doing well. Is the onyx still ok? Can't see that one in the pic.
 
All the livestock is doing great Matt, it seems the two clowns are almost inseparable, I'm happy to have them both.
As far as the algae it looks to be the dreaded bryopsis. It is not spreading to other areas of the tank and I am manually removing it when I have time but it's hard to get it all. I have cheato in the fuge and a couple of sea slugs so hopefully over time it will retreat.
 
I would be willing to participate. Nothing special just a 40 gallon full of soft corals but i would like to meet some more fellow reefers.
 
Good deal ReefFreak, I would like to also meet the local reefers and hopefully swap ideas on what works/doesn't work for others.
 
Depending on my work schedule our tank.
How about DEB and Joe's tank? any body heard from them. they have a awesome tank.
 
I could be a stop - I would love to meet other reefers! I have a 220 built into the wall, but it's still relatively new. Not too many corals yet (finishing the lighting this weekend), but would love the feedback! I'm in Tiffin, which is just outside of Coralville...
 
I'm happy to see that we are going to have many stops for the tour, hopefully we get a few more! Maybe closer to that weekend we can get a starting place and route planned? Any other suggestions?
 
what time are you planning on starting the tour? i'd be interested in opening my house to you guys and going on the tour, but i'm work at a chruch in IC and wouldn't be able to get back to my home in CR until early afternoon.
 
I would say its definitely time to get a route made up and figure out where the BBQ is going to be held.
 
Thats a good question. I am willing to be a stop, but if it seems there not alot of interest in general.
