The tour was awesome. Brad, Adam and Shane have awesome tanks. And I came home with all sorts of goodies which was the best part!

Thanks guys for having us and thanks to Brad and Shane for the frags

Deb has pics on her camera so she'll probly post them sometime tomorrow after she gets home (and after she has a nap

).

Yup tour was great.

Just a few observations:

Brad needs a bigger tank, only so we can all get more frags.
Adams tank is sweet, anyone thinking of a smaller sps tank 40 or so gallons should really use his as a benchmark for setup. Im thinking of using his design for a new tank at home.
Shane, well firstly he was the only one to offer us food so thanks again for that, and he has the biggest mushrooms i have ever seen and an awesome setup.

Thanks again for the hospitality.

Again, thanks to all of you !

Thanks everyone for coming out and for the kind words! I'm sorry my planning was a little last minute, but I'm freakin busy!

I realised at the end of the day, had we gone and seen another 2 tanks, we would have been pretty reefed out. I hope you guys found some good food after I left.

If anyone that didn't make the tour is interested in doing a tour some time, just send me a pm and I'm sure we can arrange something.. We're a lot closer together here in vic so it doesn't take an hour to get from one tank to the next!
