Guess that means someone can come with a truck and go home with a 180gal tank:mrgreen:

Absolutley! It will be clean and ready to go if you have a buyer.

Only 12 days away!
Destination: Powell River. Ride the world famous BC ferries, and view BC's beautiful coastline. Partake in our fine Oriental dining (for Christy). Tour over 1,000 gallons of PR's finest reef tanks in three stops and only minutes apart. Anyone interested in attending please pm me for ferry times, rides, directions, etc.

(P.S. I think I'd make a pretty good travel agent.) :mrgreen:

We've got four coming so far. Island people will probably want to catch the 10:10 ferry out of Comox which will get you here at 11:30 where I will meet you at the ferry as your personal chauffeur. Sunshine Coasters should PM me as to what ferry you will be catching.

May 10 is Mother's Day so that won't work for us. My wife, mom & mother-in-law would KILL me.

We'll be coming up earlier I'm hoping. Maybe do a pre-quel of the Powell River reefing tour.

:bump2:

OK, Here's the agenda. The Islanders will be getting in about 1/2 hour before the Sunshine Coasters. I will pick up the Islanders at the ferry. The Sunshine Coasters are bringin their own vehicle. We will all meet at Striker's Bar & Grill at the Bowling Alley for a get-acquainted-drink. We will then head out to see Dave's tanks, then off to Marie's and finally to my place. After the tank viewings we can go out for dinner. I will have my cell phone with me for anyone who has any questions before they arrive. PM me for my number.
Those attending are: Mrfish55 (Dave), Marie, Lance, Poontang, ChristyF5, Reef Junkie, Robyn R. There are also several others who can't commit yet but will get back to me soon.

Wooty!!! :mrgreen:

I don't remember saying I would attend :razz:

Ha Ha!
That's Ok, we'll just break in and help ourselves to some prime frags.

I've already got my cutters all sharpened up and ready to go :wink:

At least now we know who the truly "hard core" bunch are :lol:

Yup! (Reefers, B&E artists and coral thieves!) That's us.

Don't forget a stop at Bobs, who knows, there may be some fish to tempt someone, and really who can go somewhere new and not sniff out the local dealer. P.S I know where he keeps the rum.

Oh yeah, Bob's was on the list.

Hmm, I wonder how many people can fit into Bob's little fish room :lol:

*edit* Oh wait, now I remember why I hit the reply button :redface: , has anyone contacted other powell riverites about the tank tour?

Well bad news :( I cant make it. The wife bought tickets for the whole family to go to the Walking With Dinosaurs thinggy in Victoria. Apparently I need to spend some time with my human children. I may try to make over some other day, Marie still owes me a tank tour from last year.

No, I haven't. Anybody in mind?

Damn, that's too bad; was looking forward to meeting you. Next time.

Only 7 more days. One of the Islanders dropped out. We need somebody from the Island to keep Christy company on the ferry. (Sarah: hint hint)

Only 4 days to go! Tickets are going fast, so you better PM me and let me know you're coming.

Whoo Hoo! We got another Islander coming.

SWEET!!! :mrgreen:

Christy has an invisible friend?

Actually Marie, he's a sock puppet named Max :razz:

Well, keep Max the hell away from me! The real friend is coming from Campbell River. Again, PM me if needing my phone#

Sounds like it would be a lot of fun... really wish I could make the trip.

West Jet flies into Comox, then it's a short hop on the ferry.:biggrin:

Only two more sleeps! :Banane06: Whoo Hoo!

OK, here's the agenda:
Christy will be catching the 10:10am ferry at Comox. She will arrive here at about 11:30am where I will pick her up (and any other Islanders who can make it). (Whiteice669 is bringing his own wheels :car: ) We will all meet at Striker's Bar & Grill for a get-acquainted drink or two:drinking: while we wait for RobynR and Reefjunkie who will arrive a little later from the Sunshine Coast. Then, when we're all here, it's off to Dave's to see his wonderful 300gal reef, and in-progress seahorse tank. From there to Marie's amazing reef tanks, where Doofus is eagerly awaiting our visit. (Feel free to bring him a Big Mac for his lunch). Then on to my 90gal corner reef and 225gal reef. Then we can visit our LFS to meet Bob the owner. (I'm trying to set up one more tank viewing with another Powell Riverite but haven't heard back yet)
After the tank tour it's time for some sight-seeing, food & drink :hungry::drinking:, interesting conversation, more drink :drinking: and finally some more drink :drinking:.

PS: PM me for my phone # if you don't have it already, for directions, or any questions you may have. :cell:

Woohoo! Can't wait!! :mrgreen:

Dam wish I could make it. Have fun everyone. Christy, if you see anything cool in Maries tank that might look good over here on the Island just bust a hunk off and slip it in your purse. ;)

My purse will be lined with ziplocs :razz:

Now you guys have me worried that you will be disappointed.

In the past I've been limited to what JL posts on their new and noteworthy page for my coral choices. I'm pretty sure everyone already has the corals I have in my tank (with the exception of the 2 new frags from oceanic) and I have cooties to boot...but sure your welcome to hack away :lol:

Marie, I could never be disappointed in your tank. The photos take my breath away, I can only expect it will be the same if not better in person! :biggrin:

Thought I would throw this out there... I am fragging a rainbow monti colony today and can bring a few pieces up to the reef meet. The piece has lost some color but with lots of light it comes back quickly. So...I'm gonna say for free or trade for a little something. Pieces will be freshly fragged and not mounted.

The colony I am fragging

And this is where it was broken off from

Sure, bring them with you. You'll go home with some nice pieces.

Last Call for the Reef Meet! Tomorrow's the big day!

Was great to meet everyone today!! Thanks for the frags Dave, Marie, and Lance!! Your tanks are all so nice, I hope ours will look like them one day!! BTW our ferry was 5:25 NOT 5:45, but we somehow made it, the guy at the ticket booth gave us hell, but still let us on - thank goodness!!

Thanks again for the great day! Hope we can do it again sometime soon, if anyone is coming down our way, you're welcome to drop by anytime.

Did you guy's check Kristyf5 before you left? Hope you guy's all had a great time :mrgreen:

Wow! That's cutting it close.
It was nice to meet you guys too.
