    Hey everyone, just thought I would see how many people are interested in attending a meeting at the end of this month.  Gered and I are still working out the details on it but I think we are going to have a meeting on redundancy with open discussion.  
    What does everyone think?

    So are you planning on forming a Department of Redundancy Department?

    I know what redundancy means but not in relation to the aquarium. Can you provide a brief overview so I can get the jist of it? Thanks Joe!

    I'd attend, but probably won't be here.  I'm leaving on April 26th for a 2 1/2 week vacation to Europe.

    Okay so how does this sound everyone?

    On April 30th we will have a small tank tour/ redundancy discussion. What I think would be kind of cool is to have a tank tour with less stops and more discussion at each one. The main topic of discussion will be redundancy and what you have done to protect your tank.

    If anyone is interested in showing your tank in a usual tank tour fashion and having some discussion around redundancy, please let me know here by posting. And don't be shy, we are not here to criticize your tank(s).

    Thanks for letting us know everyone!!

    Gered and I have both had very busy work schedules this week so we apologize for not posting on this thread as much.

    Since there isn't a huge amount of interest in the meeting and I only have my tank and Matt's for the tour portion, we might do a more informal meeting with a lot of discussion. Maybe we can order some food or something as well.

    As of right now, we will meet at my house in the afternoon around 4 or 5pm. Those of you that posted, what time works best for you? I would like to hear some opinions so the turnout will be better.

    Joe

    Sorry for not getting the time posted sooner. I am thinking of a start time around 1. If you can't show up until a little later that is fine. Please PM me if you do not know my address or where I live.

    Thanks,
    Joe
