    Confirm me as a stop guys!

    I'll also have be driving so I could possible throw another adult or two in with me but I will have my daughter but she has already picked up stranger danger but she pretty much knows everyone in the local chapter already since we visit so many LFS's and members homes already so we should be fine.

    P.S. I'm not cleaning my tank for you guys either. I want it as gross as I can get it so I can get some help figuring out what the issue is with my tank. Fish are health, corals might be hating me, but I can't get anything to clear up the canyo in my tank. I even have a higher than normal salinity to see if that would help (only 1.028 compared to 1.026). See everyone Saturday!

    Thats what the tour is for Raven.    I did that with my 180 a few years ago and got some great advice.   Hope we can get some more volunteers so we don't haft to cancel the tour.

    We can, if the group is up for it. I'm a half-hour away from the last stop though in north Marion. Most of the stops are on the (true) west-side of the metro area. I figured by the time we get done at Rod's place, the group will likely want to dissipate. We can see what people think tomorrow. You can always stop over...I'd like some pointers actually.

    I have it!  I think I'd like to try and drop it off at Andy's today (or if anyone in the CV/IC area is going, I could give it to you to bring up to the tour).  Not sure if I'll be able to make the tour or not, as I forgot my hubby is out of town today/tomorrow, so I'll have to bring my 3 & 4 y.o.'s /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/crazy.gif and I'm not sure they'll be big fans of the tank tour.......

    The lumber was listed as taken pretty quick, but I bet if you posted a wanted add on Freecycle or Craigslist for lumber, you might find some /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif
