The 4th Annual Prince George Reef Tank Tour
 

Since 2006 Prince George has been host to what we like to call The Reef Tank Tour. Founded by Karen Allan, The Reef Tank Tour was started as a means of educating new arrivals to the hobby of saltwater aquaria in the north by providing them with an opportunity to see first hand some of the thriving and successful reef aquariums in the area. Already close to 60 people have hand a chance to view over 2000 gallons of saltwater in Prince George homes! Every tank provides a little something different for its viewers to learn and grow from... and I'm not just talking about frags. :mrgreen: So I hope you'll join us all again this year as we once again showcase some of the most spectacular reef aquariums in the north!

The Prince George Reef Tank Tour will run for the months of October 2009 through to March 2010 with one tank being featured each month (if all goes as planned). At this time we are still in the planning stages of this years Tank Tour so I will continue to post information as it becomes available. In the mean time here are some pictures of previously featured reef aquariums in Prince George:

Subject to further notice this is the lineup for this years circuit of reef tank showings. Of course if anyone else in the area would like to show their tank in the Tank Tour there is always room for more!

George in December
(myself) Russell in January
UNBC in February
Doug in March
Hopefully others?

Once we get closer to each month I'll post the exact dates, times, locations, contact information and anything else of relevance in this thread.

Once more the community frag tank will be available for anyone interested in buying or selling some of their frags during this tank showing.

usally pretty good to check out others tanks! i will be there... and a person usally can get some cheap coral!! Might have to throw mine in there... but my showing wouldn't be as nice as these showings.

Quick update. Lonnie's tank showing has been postponed until the new year. George is now showing his on Saturday December 12th from 1:00 to 5:00pm. Sorry any inconvenience.

Russell's 120gal
 

To start off the new year I will be showing my own 'high tech' 120gal reef aquarium. The open house will take place on Sunday January 10th from 1:00pm to 5:00pm at 4049 Campbell Ave. As always the community frag tank will be available for anyone interested in buying or selling some of their frags during this tank showing. Email ahead to RSVP your space ASAP to whatcaneyedo@gmail.com. In addition to frags people are also welcome to bring used equipment and drygoods for sale for which no reservations are necessary.

Another update. The Prince George Free Press newspaper will be doing a story (with a large color picture) on George's tank showing this weekend. You will be able to find the story in next weeks Wednesday edition so keep your eye out for it! Once its published I'll either scan it or try and find the article on their website and post a link/image here.

Wow! Those are some stunning tanks, please post updated photos if you have them!! :cool:

That's pretty cool. Post a link or a scan of the article when it comes out :)

Cheers,
Vic
