Felix

Newbie to this Hobby would love to Learn!
 

Hi fellow reefers!
I am new to this hobby and I am in the planning stages of setting up a reef tank. I would love to participate in this tank tour. I have read ALOT of saltwater literature and I love learning about saltwater reefs. I think this is an awesome idea and a great learning opportunity! Count me in if there is room!
Where do you guys meet for the tank tour?

Me and my wife would love to come out. Neal can you put us down :smile:

Please PM me with a starting address so I can ride with or follow along

Hello there
being that no one else has stepped forward for opening their home, here is the my proposed schedule
start at my house at 12 pm -
I have about 30 tanks up and running over 3 floors, so it should keep people occupied for a while.
leave my house at around 1230
go to Spruce Grove for around 115
leave bluetangs around 2 go to Lauries for around 245pm
leave Lauries at around 330 pm. go to Alang's for around 4 pm.
leave sherwood park around 445 be at my house around 5 pm - 515 pm
from there, I would go for dinner someplace, but that will be an individual thing.
any suggestions we were all go for dinner??? we should probably book something depending on how many people are planning on going for dinner.
can the three people send me their addresses so i can google how to get their?
let me know what people think
thanks
Neal

Sounds good other then the dinner. Doug will be heading back to Calgary then so we'll pass on dinner.

Laurie gets all twiterpaited and is affraid to eat around us now eh? hmmm sounds good we are up for dinner wherever
:grab::silly:

Twiterpaited, huh?? Good one, Craig.

Sounds like a good plan.
Tim and I will be happy to join you for dinner wherever you decide to go.

Hoping no one is allergic to dogs and cats...:biggrin:

Lenny.

that is a good point.
I have cats, dogs, fish and birds at my house as well.
Neal

your tours ends at lenny's ....go to that burger place in the park...lenny knows

Five Guys?

Steve

yep

yummy!

Steve

the problem is that everyone's vehicles will be at my place and some people aren't going for dinner.
dinner will have to be within edmonton, after the tour.
what about tony roma's at londonderry?

coliseum steak

Jim and I are in for dinner too!

I have to work but Ill come out for dinner....

Steve

Im sorry to have to cancel out now but we are not able to have people over on sunday! sorry about this :cry:

Darn I was looking forward to seeing your tank, its been awhile :sad:

I'm not going to be able to make the tour either :sad:

ok, so...I dunno what to say.
anyone else willing to step forward to showing their tank???
as well, lets reconfirm numbers again as I want to make sure this is still worth our time.
thanks
Neal

Doug and I are still in

I have to go to work on sunday to catch up before back to school. If you want to come over just send me a message anytime.

Tim and I are still coming to the tour, dinner, and of course offer up our tank for show.
Too bad about Wes' tank. Maybe next time.

I am in for the tour but out for the dinner. I'll be driving my own car as well. Thank you Howdy for coming up with a great idea and your time and effort in putting it together as well. THANK YOU!!!

A big part of the fun of the tank tour is hanging out in the limo and getting to know everyone. I recommend leaving your car at Neal's and joining everyone in the limo. Also that way you don't have to worry about getting lost etc. FYI the limo ride is free, but we usually give Neal $10 each towards gas and as a thank-you for driving us.

You guys can come see my tank! :D ;)

In all seriousness though, I'm jealous you guys are all doing this. Sounds like a blast!!! ...And Neal has 30 tanks up and running?? He's waaay worse than me and Grizz for tank collecting! :p

Oh you know I will, going to have to do it soon before the snow flys and I get busy :lol:

Hey all.
so we have 7 including myself???
i hope the numbers go up, or else everyone will be be to lay down and have a nap in the limo between houses.
and Myka, most of the tanks are 20 gallon breeding tanks with clown pairs in them....it isn't as bad as it sounds. (although I still do have a problem..lol) I am still in the middle of setting up everything. I have been working my ass off trying to have more up and running for this weekend..but university and working keep getting in the way of my plans.
Oilers, I dont' mind at all doing this, it is interesting seeing each other peoples tanks.
i have been doing this know for about 4 - 5 years, and I still feel I know so little.
so it is always a plus to learn what other people do.
plus it is lots of fun too.

Only 7? I count: 11

Fishoholic x2

Alang x2

Sgreen x2

Fencer x1

Oilers x1

Edmontonewbies x2

Wayne x2? (I think they're still going)

There are other members who said earlier they wanted to come, not sure if they still do or not:

Mark (who's tank I would love to see again HINT HINT)

Mechaninano and maybe? Badfish

Flash x2

reef-keeper

stellarfly

I was going off the people who have confirmed recently.
anyhows, it doesn't really matter either way. we will still do this.

here is the new timeline than:

Meet at my house at 12 pm
leave at 1230 pm
arrive at Lauries at 1245 pm
leave Lauries at 130 pm
arrive at Alang - 2 pm
leave at Alang at 245 pm.
back at my house just after 3.
dinner at coliseum steakhouse ?? not sure what time cause 3 is pretty early

let me know what you think.
Neal

We need to start at 12:30 we were actually going to ask for an eariler start cause Doug has to drive back to Calgary and pack up all his stuff before he leaves on Sunday. We won't be able to go to Lenny's if we start any later. Also if it starts to late I'm not sure if we'll bother going in the limo since it would just be to your place then back to mine and that would suck, plus I want to see Lenny's tank!

changed the times.
not sure about dinner though cause we should be done around 3 which is pretty early for dinner.

Cool thanks. Also for the people who wanted to have dinner I bet most of them would be willing to meet back at 6pm for it. Also if you have dinner at 6 Steve can close up and head over and be at the collisum steak house in a few mintues.

Once everything is confirmed (hope everyone is ok with 12pm if not 12:30 is ok just 2 is too late) Neal maybe you could update your first post with the date/time schedule and your address so it's easy for everyone to find :biggrin:

No I can't go but I might join you for supper
