The Fifth Annual Prince George Reef Tank Tour

[whatcaneyedo]

We're small, we stick mostly to the shadows and we only come out at night to feed.... joking.

I do what I can to reach as many people as I can through word of mouth, posters, bits in the newspaper and on websites. We're not large or formal enough for an advertising budget so that is all that can be done for now.

Nice. Would definitely be interested in checkin' out the tanks in town and meeting some fellow fish-heads.

Unfortunately there were no volunteers to go first so I guess its up to me. I'll be showing my own 220 gallon system on Sunday January 16 from 12:00 noon to 5:00pm. The address is 4049 Campbell Ave and phone number is (250) 649-0465. There will be a space allocated for anyone wishing to bring used equipment or coral frags for sale.

This map shows the location of Campbell Ave


The rest of this years circuit looks like this:
Russell’s January 16
Staffan’s January 30
Alan’s February 13
George’s February 20
Doug’s March ____
Bill’s March ____
Karen’s March ____
As we get closer to each month I'll fill in the blanks once the owners have chosen their exact dates. Nearly all of the showings will be on Sundays from 12:00noon to 5:00pm as this has historically worked best. If you would like to be notified by email when new showings are announced send me a PM and I'll add you to the mailing list.

Following my showing, Staffan Lindgren from UNBC has offered to present their public 135 gallon tank on Sunday January 30th from noon until 5:00pm. The tank is located on the third floor of the Bentley Science Center or '#8 the Teaching Laboratory' http://www.unbc.ca/assets/communicat...lay_simple.jpg

Its going to be a busy three months and it should be a lot of fun! See you all soon!

A big thanks to those of you who were able to switch into four wheel drive and come out to see my little slice of paradise this afternoon. For those of you who couldn't make it through the deep new snow here is what you missed:



Staffan is still ready to show the UNBC Reef Tank in two weeks, details are below:

Today is the big day for Staffan's showing of the UNBC Reef Tank! I heard rumor of coffee and donuts being provided so I can't wait to get my fix. I also just got confirmation from Alan and George who are the next two people to be featuring their systems in February.

Alan Perry is the owner of All Clear Aquarium Services here in PG and will be showing off his home aquarium and basement business Sunday February 13 at 7293 Elk Road from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.

George Leven is a legend when it comes to our little Tank Tour. His is certainly one of the most admirable systems in town and you can see it for yourself on Sunday February 20th from noon until 5:00pm at 2363 Panorama Cres. For that showing I'm going to try and get coverage in the Free Press as I've occasionally done in the past.

By the way, the thread for last year's Reef Tank Tour is here in case anyone wants to check out the old pictures or ramblings. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=56446

Here are a few quick pictures from today's showing of the UNBC Reef Tank! If I'm not mistaken the last one is a Nassarius snail right? Someone please chime in if you know.
