    December tank tour is a month away now for the Des Moines Region and I'm hoping to get an idea of who would like to participate and how I can arrange it. I have scheduled it for December 6th, after Thanksgiving, and before the big holiday. I hope theres interest!

    December is a bad month given everything else going on. I would suggest January or February.

    I will try to see if I can make the tour. I have an injury and if I am not better, I won't be able to attend. So far I see Nick and Donny showing their tanks. Will there be others showing off their tanks? If yes, can you post a current list Justin?

    At the house there's a 29g biocube full of lps and high end zoas/palys. Downstairs there is a 155g bow front full of corals, large rbta, large ritteri 3 angels including a goldflake angel, flame angel, and coral beauty, 3 large wrasses australian scotts fairy wrasse, goldbar wrasse, and a saddle wrasse, many numerous brakish water fish, dottybacks, 2 engineer goby and others. 40 gallon grow out tank with numerous corals and some more fish.

    Hope to see everyone there

    My schedule like most this month is pretty hectic, however I may be able to attend some tour stops this Saturday if my day opens up. My tank definitely isn't up to par for a showing yet unfortunately.

    I probably won't be able to make it as I've got kids overnight on Friday night.


    Justin - did you see one of the early posts on the thread that Nick volunteered to show his tank? He had volunteered to show his tank for last tank tour, but unfortunately because of the large number of tanks/stops, it was late in the day when it was time to stop at his place, so we cancelled and decided to save his place for the next tour.
