The Sixth Annual Prince George Reef Tank Tour

Since we can no longer edit our old posts... Alan is currently having tank problems and has opted out of the Tank Tour for this year so the new schedule goes as follows:

January 29th Complete
February 19th George's 225gal Breathtaking Behemoth
February 26th Doug's Forever Evolving Reef now with LEDs!
March 4th My own reef-in-a-box

George wanted me to mention too that his tank has seen better days. His Rena automatic feeder recently malfunctioned and emptied an entire drum of food into his tank killing several coral colonies and fish. But this won't stop him from going ahead and showing his tank this Sunday!

Thank you everyone who made it out to view George's system over the weekend and thank you George for inviting us.

Next weekend on Sunday February 26 from 12 to 4:00pm is Doug's tank showing. PM me for the address or to join the emailing list. For those of you who are new to this, Doug has been keeping saltwater for a LONG time, he is the original source of many of the common coral that circulate PG as frags and he just recently upgraded his lighting to LED.

Following a discussion that a few of us were having at George's, I think it would be a great idea if some people could bring a cup of sand from each of their tanks to swap at this event. New systems would benefit from the bacterial boost of a mature sand bed sample and older systems could use the diversification. As always, the selling and trading of coral frags will be an option at this showing too.

Now for some pictures of George's tank:

Thank you everyone who came over to see Doug's tank on Sunday and thank you Doug for inviting us.

We continue our Tank Tour blitz Next Sunday March the 4th from 12 to 4:00pm when I show off my own wired reef tank. Where if it can be automated I've done so from evaporation top off and temp/pH control to water on the floor sensors and text message emergency alarms. PM me for the address or to be added to the Tank Tour emailing list.

Here is some eye candy from my showing today. Thank you to everyone who dropped in despite the weather!

I'm also pleased to announce that this will not be the last tank showing of the year as Craig Hadley has offered to show his 120gal in two weeks on Sunday March 18th. For more information on where that will be or to be added to the emailing list you can send me a PM.
