What about a local tank network?

[Ticketyboo]

Hi, here is a thought or a questions maybe....

I will be off working away from home for prolonged periods of time in the summer, so i was wondering if anyone would be interested in starting a local network of aquariasts (such a word?) to come over once in a while and look after others tanks while people are away on maybe holiday or work etc?

I was thinking of dissasembling my tank as i would be away, but couldnt bear to do it and so have... honoured the task to my wife.... lovelly that she is.... but not as passionate about this hobby as i am.... hmmm.....

I have read that others also go away for long periods, so hey.. what about looking after others tanks while others are gone? all take turns etc?

Thoughts?
