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! :wink: Thanks guys for having us and thanks to Brad and Shane for the frags :biggrin:

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

Christy :)

PS: Shao I think since you didn't come to this meeting you should have to hold the next one http://www.crazypics.de/smilies/frech059.gif

ok how on earth does deb keep ending up out there? are plane tickets super cheap right now or something? i want to go to the coast too please!

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.

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. :smile:

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! :biggrin:

All those Tanks look great!
Sorry I couldn't make it over, had to build a second tank for a friend-as I broke the first one on Friday before the tour :sad:
Maybe Shao and I should hook up for the next trip :lol:
And Marc you still owe me a cold one :lol:
