Hi Guys

Yes I know this is kinda early but I am proposing a reefers meeting on Sept 27 or Oct 4 at the South Side Montana's at 130 pm. You get to meet old face and new ones as well. NEWBIES welcome. Some people want the Tank Tour this year...Put your name on this thread if your interested. Ex-rally car driver Neal will be at the wheel.:twised: Times will be arranged later. I will be selling SPS frags a week before that and you can pickup at the meeting. I will be reminding you every week. :mrgreen:

Hi everyone. This is sounds great I would like to participate. But please do tell how the tank crawl will work.

I'm not sure how this one will work but on the last one Neal was nice enough to donate his time and limo to drive us around to visit various people tanks. Then most of us met at Chilli's after for some food and beverages.

Last year we visisted: ( Might even be two years ago now )

"bump" Means to bump the thread back to the top of the forums. If you asked a question in a thread and it slipped to the second page without an answer you can "bump" the thread back to the top of the first page by adding a reply to it.

I think we are going to go with Sept 27. I am now looking for places for the tank tour...anybody want to show off their tanks. Otherwise it will just be one of those lunch meetings.

Is Neal able to do the same sort of thing like last year? I'll have to talk to Steve but we could probably be a part of the tour again, as long as people don't mind squeezing into my tiny basement.

How many people are coming out?

Parker

09-22-2009, 12:48 PM

I wish I could attend, but I'll be out of town this weekend.

howdy20012002

09-22-2009, 02:59 PM

i will be available for the tour for either date
just let me know
the max number for the bus is 20.....so we should start a list

I'll most likely be there with my husband so my Sept. 27 vote counts for two :smile:

howdy20012002

09-22-2009, 03:45 PM

I would like to suggest that we should start at Blue water world so hopefully Ken can get some business out of it...then i can visit them as well.lol

fencer

09-22-2009, 03:58 PM

Ken's coming with us and he's got the keys so we can show up after hours. To be fair I think we might want to include some of the other shops in the area. Unless they are coming with us as well. If you are coming on "Tank Tours 2009" please state on this thread, I startup a list. I will leave it up to Neal on the times that are good him.

That's ok, you can bring the baby along and get an early start to getting the baby hooked on the hobby :lol:

Steve and I are in and we can show our tanks. I also like the idea for stopping at Blue World at some point :biggrin:

howdy20012002

09-22-2009, 09:49 PM

I was thinking about my earlier statement as well, and I realized that I was leaving out other sponsers. so to them, I apologize.
maybe stopping by Marine aquaria can be part of the tour as I have yet to make it there.
As for times, I am pretty flexible.
Maybe meet at Blue world Aquatic at like 1 or 2 pm, cruise for 2 to 4 hours, then dinner at the end for those that choose to.
again, I am open to suggestions
I would also suggest that we should look at this in december as well, that way, my tanks will be up and ready to been seen by people and they can see my house after the last year and a half.

Neal

Marine Aquaria is not open on Sundays, just to let you know. I would like to say yes I can come but I'm not sure if I'm going to Banff this week-end yet or not.

as a newbie i was thinking of joining in on the tank tour to meet some fellow reefers....just wondering the basic timetable to see if the wife can come or if i have to fly solo....

leducreef

i am in will have to bring the lil man too lol

Dez

09-23-2009, 03:57 AM

I would love to come but this Sunday all city attractions are free in Edmonton so I'm taking my family around to do the fun stuff. More notice in December would be great. I actually organized a tank tour of about 10 tanks 5 or 6 years ago. We visited some very mature reefs on people that weren't even on canreef. It was a treat. Then we all went for dinner. I'd love to meet some of the local reefers than have joined the scene in my few year absence from the hobby..... Make you you guys post pictures. Hope to make the next one.

howdy20012002

09-23-2009, 04:05 AM

the 04 Oct would work for me as well.
again just let me know
Neal

subman

09-23-2009, 04:38 AM

the 4th works for me to. Dez's setup should be part of the tour if possible!

Dez

09-23-2009, 04:51 AM

4th doesn't work for me as I have a foosball tournament that I'm registered for already. Don't worry about accommodating me, I will plan to be at the December one as long as we plan ahead!

fencer

09-23-2009, 02:12 PM

fishoholic

09-23-2009, 02:23 PM

Okay here are the choices:
We can do Oct 4 if it means more we can see more hobby tanks.
We can stay to Sept 27 and just have a lunch at the usual place
We can stay with Tank tours on the 27th...we'd end up visiting maybe 3 shops

I personally can go either way....

I'm up for whatever works for everyone else, as I don't have plans for either Sunday. However I need to know if we're stopping at my house this Sunday, as I will want to clean up before having guests over. Dez & Neal I also think a later date would be great for a tank tour as it would be great to see Neal's house and with his tanks set up, and it would be great to see mature reefs (from locals) who aren't on here, so if there is a way Dez, Wayne and Neal could work something out for a larger tank tour for Dec. that would be cool. However Dec. is usually pretty busy with Christmas parties etc. (last year every single weekend in Dec. I had Christmas plans) so keep that in mind.

subman

09-23-2009, 02:23 PM

lets just leave it as is. We can always do another in the future!

fencer

09-23-2009, 02:29 PM

I can do the Dec one but as you know long range plannig never works for things like this, Gotta to post a month in advance for this

fishoholic

09-23-2009, 02:54 PM

lets just leave it as is. We can always do another in the future!

Agreed. So Wayne what is the plan for this Sunday?

lets just leave it as is. We can always do another in the future!

subman

09-23-2009, 03:15 PM

I do agree though Dec. is usually no good but Jan. is usually wide open!

howdy20012002

09-23-2009, 03:30 PM

i would personally rather see people's tanks than shops.
so if we need to wait till the 04 Oct than that's do that
who else is offering to show their tanks besides laurie?
as well, just thinking about it.. I think Jan will be much better month than Dec for the next one as Christmas time is a crazy time for everyone (especially limo business)
as for this one, who's tanks are we looking at?

Parker

09-23-2009, 04:16 PM

If it's held Oct.04 I wouldn't mind tagging along.

If my build was finished I'd open up my home, but there's nothing very exciting about a fresh water test :lol:

fencer

09-23-2009, 06:57 PM

There are a lot of tanks in progress. I would think by Dec these would be ready. My take on this is we wait to accumulate a list of hobby tanks we can visit ( 5 or more) as it getting to the season where people are working on tanks. I can keep a list of possible hobby tanks that people would like to show and next time we can just do it. Really we should do a store tour in the next few months. I know a lot of vendors would like to hear what we want and our concerns. Vendors think of us as tourists with wads of cash....so some of you guys my want to attend our monthly meetings. New and old forum members might want to show just to see other people. For now I would like to just have a lunch at the usual place and time. I am good for either date but it seems the 4th is when others can make it too. Decision time isn't till Friday

bignose

09-25-2009, 03:12 AM

agreed, I'm going to be busy this weekend so another date would be better for me.

are you still going to be selling frags

fencer

10-03-2009, 03:31 AM

If I can get can mount a couple of frags and a few picts up by Sat I will. Another Canreefer took a lot of frags from me last week.

leducreef

10-03-2009, 08:26 AM

so what time are we meeting up on sunday

fencer

10-04-2009, 03:44 AM

Oct 4 at the South Side Montana's at 130 pm.

Frags....I have snipped and chopped a whole pack of frags. I will not bring them to the meeting but for next meeting in Nov, as I just mounted these things and I want them to "settle out" a bit. The price will range from 15 - 30 depending on size but not necessarily color( there is a lot a choice stuff in here). I will post picts and then you can choose from there. As some of you have already asked you get first pick before i put them up for sale.....
