Sunday is the 1st. Sat the 30th is looking like the day right now. Is there anyone who cannot do that day?

Works for me.

Err .. darn it, I just *knew* this would happen -- I've got a wedding to go to that weekend up in Edmonton (Sept. 30), I just got reminded of it this morning, won't be in town.

Guess I'm out guys. Sorry, I would really have enjoyed seeing your systems. Perhaps another time. :(

Oh me too please
 

I am still interested and willing to come in from Lethbridge on Sep 30 or Oct 1.

Keith, Lets go with Saturday Sept. 30 meeting at 1:00 pm. at my place in McKenzie. Will that work? Al

I think albert was hoping we could start a little later.

I can meet up with you guys after work. I'm off at 6.

I think Albert deserves better consideration - I'm sure all would agree. Perhaps there could be a BBQ and beers from 1-6 PM, then Albert can drive the bus after that.

This sounds better and better all the time!

:idea:
I think Dennis should let him off work early since he will be out doing PR for the store and a lot of their customers will be on the tour so the store won't be busy anyway.:razz:
Maybe then we could start around 3:00 if Albert can get off by then.

After the people see your set up and fish room coming to my place will be very anticlimatic.:redface:

My Spousal Unit just informed me that later in the afternoon would work best for me as I am apparently double booked for earlier in the day.

I talked to albert today , but I dont no where to put my name up for the tour! Me and cory ( I HAVE CRABS) Want to go if albert can you put our name on there?

I think you should pm Keith or Al.

Okay, here's the people I coming have thusfar:

Cody (stinky)
Cory (i_have_crabs)
Marco (moogled)

Gary, are you coming with me?

Anyone else want to come? PM me.

I think I'll be able to go Albert. I'll let you know this week for sure. :)

Don't forget me.

There are a few people earlier in the thread including Alan (AJ77) who said they wanted to attend

Ill do up a list today or tomorrow. I am sick as a dog right now, so as soon as I can move.......

Yup I did - thanks Greg. Would like to attend, if indeed it works out that I can on that day.

Did Albert rent the bus yet? :mrgreen:

Good to see this coming together finally. I too agree with Sat Sept 30th as long as its after 2-3PM or so... Will be out riding the mountains before that. Sunday would be OK here as well.

Anyway Albert, thanks for the suggestion to Connie (Finaddict, my wife for those who don't know) to show my tank. Its a 120G 4x2x2 with nearly 100% home made rock. All you guys can consider it the affordable system in the bunch I'm sure. No expensive equipment, no excess complex filters or additives, and no stoneys or difficult corals. Its the lazy man's easy going tank...

:biggrin:

that is a really nice tank, lots of neat corals and fish

We have only a week before the tour. Everybody ready? Do we have an exact time yet? Do we have an order of appearance in the tour? ect.?

I'm game to go - 30th/1st works for me... How are we working the driving situation; 10-20 cars don't fit in many of these neighbourhoods...

Andy

We'll meet by Al's and car pool from there. See the earlier post in the thread for details.

Hi all. I have the tentative list of those who will be attending the tour and those who will be showing their tanks. Please look over the list and confirm that you are on. If you are not able to attend, please let me know so I can remove you from the list.

Timing so far looks to be Saturday Evening. (Depending when Albert can get off of work).

So lets firm up a time and meeting place as well. Albert, when will you be free?

Tanks to be viewed:

1. Keith 250 Gallon Mixed Saltwater Aquarium
2. Al 250 gal mixed tank
3. Rico 500+ gallon FOWLR Saltwater Aquarium
4. Greg 130 gal mixed reef
5. Mike 120g made with aragacrete!
6.

I'm free after six, but strongly urging that you guys start ahead of me since I've seen most of those tanks already.

Keith, can you PM me with your cell? I know the last four digits, but the first three... Yeah...

Sorry people, but I just got our hockey practice/evaluation schedule for this weekend last night and it looks like I'll be camping at the arena on Saturday and Sunday with all my 3 boys having practice times. Then after that, two of my boys will be altar serving on Saturday night. So, I'm sorry I won't be able to show my tank this weekend.

Regards,
Rico

I have suddenly run into a small problem myself in that our house is being tiled Friday and we cannot walk on the tile until Sunday.

Would it make more sense to switch this to next weekend if Perodogo can show his tank?

Sorry, but next Saturday is not good as well (have to attend a wedding). Unless we do it next Sunday.

Regards,
Rico

Sorry. I am also having problems. I just got back from being away for 8 days and my tank is a huge mess.:twised: Between a giant algae & cyano bloom, RTN and a bunch of stuff that fell to the bottom and turned brown, my tank will not be ready for show & tell this weekend. I'm out of the running for a while.

I'm up for any day really. Since a few key players are out for the count, I think it would be fair to reschedule once the horizon looks a little clearer.

How's about we all see where everyone's standing in two week's time? That should be plenty of notice to figure things out.

Oh well. Since I was planning on coming to Calgary for the tour, I will keep my plans and buy some coral instead (it's already been a week since i got my cabbage coral, naso tang and flame angel).

i would be interested in joining the tour aswell, and could possably show my tank its a 200 gal display reef, but its just been recently setup (about 2 months)
i have been pretty busy at work so its not very impressive as of yet.

but i have a Large bar in my basement and a pretty big big screen so maybe my house could be the last house?

Richard

Ok, it looks like we will postpone this for 2 weeks due to tanks being unavailable.

If you cannot still show your tank in 2 weeks or will not be attending, please let me know and ill remove you from the list.

Richard, you have been added to the tour to show your tank. Thanks.

Don't know if this helps aid to the confusion, but you can add me to the list as an attendee now since I shouldn't be at a wedding in Edmonton on that weekend as well :)

If you are going to be in Mackenzie, you are welcome to see my 220 in Mackenzie Towne. Parking is an issue but we can work it out.

Sounds great. Thanks

so whats the date then October 14th or 15th or 16th?

Richard

Very nice tank,I believe I helped him move.
