MetroWest Tank Tour?

[nichols]

I would also be up for a tour. I live in Grafton and have a 75g reef plumbed to a basement sump/fuge. I also have a 210g reef plumbed to a 150g sump in the basement which is my work in progress. I would like to see what other peoples setups look like and would be willing to show my tanks to others.

Hey I want in on the next raiding of Gustavos fridge been way too many months since i have been out there and Dave I am dieing to see the Seahorses Im available if anyone wants to come out but I am still app 40minutes from the general area

I could participate/help support the metrowest thing 1/22. I'm in Shrewsbury and would be happy to put my 125 up for viewing.

I run my sump in the basement and tank on the first floor and if anyone is thinking about this kind of set-up, it might be helpful to take a look.

Rob,i love the new avatar

Not to mention, you have beer on tap!!

I'd go along as a spectator since my 110 doesn't even have water in it yet.

There seems to be several people willing to show tanks, are there any actually interested in seeing them?

 

[Moe_K]

Yeah! I want to see them.

 

[MikeG]

So we have

Bill 75/210 gallon Grafton
Shawn 75 Boylston
Jacqur 125 Shrewsbury
Mike 75 Marlboro
Liquid 125 Upton
Duds 29 Franklin
PJ150 ? if interested
skyedolphan ? seems a little far

Viewing Moe, stevenp, I would go for the tour as well.

Wow people jumped on this, that's great! I wouldn't worry too much about people showing up, I'm sure there are a lot of lurkers out there that will show up. Here's the list of people who are willing to show off their tanks. I have put them in a tentative order, based upon convenience to the next location:

Duds / 29g / Franklin
Jacqur / 125g / Shrewsbury
MikeG / 75g / Marlborough
Shawn / 75g / Boylston
Nichols41 / 75g / Grafton

I'll offer to host everyone for beers after (I'm the next town over from Grafton, actually the back of my property is the Grafton/Upton line). What time would we want to start this? Keep in mind if the Pats win tomorrow, they would be playing at 3PM with the NFC game to follow so I'm thinking starting at 10? Is that too early?

 

[Duds]

sweet send me a pm of the details of when it is my turn, I might even bring out the snacks

[Moe_K]

Am I confused?

Nevermind, I was confused.
I saw the bit about the Pats game and thought you meant tomorrow.

Liquid / End of Tour Beers / Upton


Yeah Moe I re-read what I wrote and it is confusing but just to clarify we're talking about 1/22. I assume we'll agree to meet at the start off point and just follow each other from there? Or would it be easier to meet up at my house and carpool together since that's where we'll end up?

 

[nichols]

Glad i'm at the end of the tour. I have a kegorator in my kitchen, so we can all have some beer.

 

[Liquid]

Alright tank exhibitors, don't fade on us! I'll send each of you a PM to get your address and directions. Since nobody left any feedback, we will meet up at my house (plan to show up around 10, we will leave at 10:30) and then caravan/carpool from there. There is parking along the street that we can use.

If you're interested in viewing tanks, PM me for my address so that we can meet up, or PM if you have any questions. Thanks!

 

[Kiah]

Well if you get to Shrewsbury, it's just a hop, skip and jump to Barre -
125 gal, 75 gal, 40 gal display fuge, 65 gal and (2) 20 gal frag tanks.

Still waiting for the 270 gal - should be delivered next week (I have the feeling of deja vu

 

[Liquid]

Well I'd sure be interested in a trip sometime, but I think for the rest of the group it might be a bit too far out of our way. You're welcome to join us on the tour if you'd like though!

 

[Liquid]

If you're looking to join us for the tour, please send me a PM for my address. We're meeting at my house on 1/22 at 10AM, then leaving (carpooling?) at 10:30 to head over to Duds' place for an 11AM arrival.

Sorry that I did not post sooner. I have a niece's birthday party this Saturday and can't host or attend. Hopefully we can do this sometime again in the future.
