Metrowest tank tour

[MikeG]

Been a few years since we have done this. Anyone interested in showing their tanks or just coming along to see some other tanks in the area?

[snick1734]

[MikeG]

We will have to see if anyone else is interested, wasn't planning on going out that far. I was expecting more along the 495 belt maybe as far as worcester.

[pillowfish]

I would definetely be good for the trip up to see everyone's tanks!:)

[MikeG]

Why don't we start a list of who would want to show their tank and who would want to see others. Just quot the list and add to it.

Come on guys, I know there are a lot of people in the shrewsbury, westboro, Marlboro, Framingham, Lowell area. No one wants to show off their little slice of ocean?

[JayM]

it would depend on the day, but I'm kinda proud of my 72 right now....but my 92 is a DISASTER....and will probably just have been moved.....

[CaptainAndy]

Count me in for the tour.

[MikeG]

I was shooting for a Saturday or Sunday probably, either one normally better for you or does it just depend on the weekend?
Count me in for the tour.

Would you be interested in showing your tank too or just going on the tour?

We have some interest but need a lot more, come on people...

[JayM]

as long as the trip is kid friendly, I would go on the tour too. My kids really enjoy tanks. The only reason for the 'maybe' was like if you wanted to do Sunday AM, because that's family time, or if we jet off to the cape. I also just discovered I need to spend some unplanned quality time in my basement.....to get my newly fabricated 92g stand out, I need to remove a door. :(

Before you say it....I'm not the one who assembled it without measuring first. :rolleyes:

You guys should both show your tanks as well. I have seen old pictures iof yours Scott and it looked really nice. And Cory always has nice tanks, would like to see what you have done with it. Let me know if you would be willing to show.

[MikeG]

Bump it up

Any more interest? Need more tanks to show if we want this to happen. Scott and Cory, you will be showing as well right?

One of these times I'm going to have to go on one of these tour.Looks like a lot of fun.
Maybe I'll drag my nieghbor Jason72 along as well.But with holiday season fast approaching it's really quite busy.Hopefully,the next time around.

[maxfischer]

By the time this gets organized it will most likely be just after the holidays when things are calmed down a bit.

I will leave that up to you. That does mean you are on the list to show now though!

My tank isn't anything special but I could show it providing I'm free that day, however; I probably won't tag along for the tour. If things work out I'd prefer to be one of the first stops.

I think we have enough to try to make this happen. How do people feel about a week or two after New Year on a Saturday morning? I know things are busy for the next few weeks with the holidays.

[fishmom]

Do you guys want to come by and see all of our empty tanks? :)

How about Saturday Jan 10th starting in the morining say 9 or 10am? I can plan a route depending on who is in. I can also change the date if it doesn't suit most people.

[JayM]

Based on that day, I can commit to will show/will go :D

[MikeG]

Based on that day, I can commit to will show/will go :D

There is 2 of us atleast!

[Aquadan88]

Do you have to be a BRS member to go on the tour? Cuz I'd love to come see some fellow reefer's tanks.

[Moe_K]

Nah, these tank tours are open to anyone.

I think the 10th will work for me. I'll make the ride. :)

[Aquadan88]

Great. Do you guys know approx what time it will get over? I have a gig on the 10th in North Attleboro, and I need to make sure I'm back in town for 6:00. :-D

[stevenp]

Mike, the 10th should work for me.

[MikeG]

Should be over by then but you can leave at any time. Want me to add you in?

[Aquadan88]

Sure, I'll have to check with my girlfriend to make sure we don't have anything planned, but I'm pretty sure that I'm free.

Any idea on where we'd meet?

[MikeG]

Any idea on where we'd meet?

I am not sure yet. We can either meet at my house in Marlboro or meet at the first stop if people want to to that (ie the person showing forst). Figured we could start in Grafton/Worcester and head to Marlboro, Hudson, and then on to Framingham.

[Aquadan88]

If we decide to meet in the Worcester area, I might wait and meet in the Marlboro area. Worcester is quite a ways away for me, and Marlboro is much easier for me to get to.

[stevenp]

Mike, no-go for me on the 10th. We have something going on that day that I forgot about.

[Moe_K]

What about Bill Nichols? He still have his tank running?

[stevenp]

What about Bill Nichols? He still have his tank running?

Pretty sure he does, haven't heard from him in a while though. I should give him a call one of these days.

[Aquadan88]

I just got the OK from my girlfriend. :p So add me to the list!

Well that only took 4 days:D Gonna have to work on that for when you "ASK" to drill holes in your floor for the basement sump or to upgrade to a bigger tank

[MikeG]

lol, she's just going to have to deal with that. She already told me that I'm not allowed to have more than 2 big tanks. I told her I want a show tank in our living room, and a small one in the kids room. :-) (plus our mutual pet turtle, Manuelo)

[MikeG]

Not doing too bad. Hopefully Alex and Stimpy will both be able to show their tanks, then we will have 5 on the tour. If anyone else is interested please let me know.

Don't know who's tank I want yet till I see them.. lol
Will there be any frag selling? I'm lookin, need L/R and gr/red chaeto too.

Stimpy

[Aquadan88]

lol, I didn't know you drove an Exploder. :p

[Stimpy]

day after I bought it, brake lines exploded... now its a Ford Exploder...

[Aquadan88]

Hah, nice. Well, can't wait for the tour.

[paulthomas]

day after I bought it, brake lines exploded... now its a Ford Exploder...

And here I thought it was a typo. LOL! :D

[Stimpy]

Hi Mike,
Lets bump and update....
Where do we stand for next Sat.....

Trying to train my fish not to poop in the tank for the tour.

[smpross]

Hey Guys,
Looks like I may be out for this one... Not totally sure yet. Dawn and I may be away next weekend.

Scott

[Aquadan88]

Hey guys, I think I'm going to have to cancel. Something came up for Saturday, and I won't be able to make the drive.

Hope things go well!!

[MikeG]

So it looks like only 4 tanks on the tour and a total of 6 people that would probably go on tour. Not sure if this is really worth the effort.

[Stimpy]

Well Mike, Your in Marlb, I'm framingham, Where are others?? if we are all local enough, its worth it to me. (Johnny 5 says.... NEED INPUT..)
Took the 4 day holiday weekend, going outta my mind for something to do.
ate, slept, ate, napped, ate, digested (means "napped again") played Texas Hold-em, got sucked-out with set of 8's yuk, some beers, napped again. See the problem.

LOL, lets go guys and gals....

[Alex]

Sorry guys can't do this Saturday. :(

[tangkeeper]

I am also up for that guys,any weekend is good

[maxfischer]

they may force OT for me at work on Sat, i will know soon

[MikeG]

I think another weekend would be best when more people can be involved. I will try to put this together for another time.
