The picture of mine up top is actually from 2008 so I'll edit that in a moment. I have plenty of current pics of my own tank in the link in my signature so I wont clutter this thread with them until its actually my turn to show. But here are some pictures of Doug's and George's. Unfortunately I forgot my camera during last years showing of Lonnie's... and I haven't seen Kelvin's yet. Enjoy!

I believe this is a 2008 picture of Doug's tank.

A big thanks to everyone who braved the cold today and came out to see George's 225gal reef tank! There were a lot of new faces this time around which was really great to see. For those of you who couldnt make it or dont live in the area here is some of what you missed (full tank shot and a few of my favorites).

Unfortunately the Free Press was a no-show. I'm not sure what happened but I'm guessing the weather and timing had something to do with it.

Great photos!

The Tank Tour makes local news!
 

I tried my hardest to get either George's or Lonnie's story and picture in the paper but what ended up happening was that I got featured instead. I guess I shouldn't complain I just don't want to make this event all about me... I'm just the organizer. :biggrin:

But anyways, here is our Reef Tank Tour story in the paper in full color for your viewing pleasure! There are a few little mistakes like: the Tank Tour began last month not last week and the last paragraph would make more sense to say "...from experienced local hobbyists" rather than "...from experienced.". My father was a perfectionist so sue me.

(note that I lost a little off of the top and bottom when scanning)

That was a good read! Another one I will miss!!! But I admit I have seen it a lot ;) But I want 2 peaces of coral you have... I guess I better hurry now.

A big thank you to everyone who came and saw my tanks today. I really enjoy having the opportunity to entertain and show off my little ocean oasis. I'm sorry that the walkway was so slippy but I have to use that ice melting salt as a magnesium supplement! :mrgreen:

There are already many pictures of my display and frag tank in the link in my signature so I wont clutter this thread with them. Instead here are some pictures from the seldom photographed and slightly under appreciated nano reef:

Wow how did I miss this one?!

Great newspaper coverage and fantastic looking tanks. That table up the page some made me drool. Simply gorgeous!
