Well, how many tanks are there so far to tour? If there are only a few of us perhaps we could throw in a mini frag swap too?

There's a couple guys who have expressed interest with me at the store, they just haven't had a chance to post yet.

I think some people are waiting to post until we hear from Albert.

So lets do this. If you are interested in the tour or iIf you have a tank you would like to show, Please make a quick post here so we can get some numbers.

Gary, you in?

We have to express interest in the thread? I'm interested, but figured there was no need to post that I'm in because 1) it's rather self-evident and 2) as of this moment at least, there's no date/time for this thing. So agreeing that I'm interested or not interested seems a bit silly to me. I think the trick here is to figure out a time, then post about it. Otherwise it's a little like posting "well who wants a million dollars?" Of course people WANT it, but until there's an actual plan to deliver said million dollars, it's just wishful thinking.

How's the end of this month sound?

LOVE to see some large systems. I thought you were looking for responses from tank owners... but yeah, would be great to see and hear and learn.

In my humble opinion if there's no initial interest in the idea it makes one wonder whether or not it's worth trying to plan it.

I am glad the interest is there. I for one am very interested in what these guys have for big tanks, livestock and systems. I think my set up is mostly filler in a tour like this but I am willing unless we end up with enough other volunteers.
I like Albert's idea for the month end. So folks are we then shooting for Saturday September 30th? Afternoon? Evening? Let's pick a time and date and confirm.

I would be interested. As I would have to come from Lethbridge, the weekend would work best and if during the day I could bring the family to the zoo at the same time (unless you get snow).

Ah .. well .. Ok, I see. The only sort of counterpoint I could maybe offer is that .. well .. let's face it, we're all reef geeks here. I.e., "if you build it they will come."

(I guarantee that there is more interest in this event than you can gather from who's posted here.) My only real hesitation about expressing interest in something that isn't arranged for is that for example, I could say, "Yes! I'm in for that!" and then it actually gets planned, and it's say, on a date that falls when I'm out of town or something. Then I would have to say "ohh.. gee, sorry, guess I'm out, have fun." That's why I was kinda hoping to see a date first.

FWIW, if it falls on a weekday evening, I'm very likely out.
