    The reef in Grimes is a go for a stop. Will PM you the 20. Also will probably have family along (Wife & 4 kids)
    Also the owner of the tank may be interested in coming along for the tour, and maybe his kids too.

    How much time do you think we will be spending at each location - about 45 minutes to an hour?

    I unfortunately have to work tomorrow /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/sad.gif I was wondering however if someone from the Des Moines area would be willing to hold on to a heater that Matt may be bringing for me until I can pick it up. I work from 11-4 and would be able to meet someone after 4. Just putting out a feeler, it may not be necessary but just in case

    Floyd, Usually we just spend as long as people want and there is not set time but I think an hour is usually about average. Tony, I can hold it for you if you need me to.

    Joe - if Matt brings it along I'd be great if you could hold it for me.  I'd be able to pick it up either tomorrow or Monday.  Thanks!

    Tank tour was great! I think everyone who went will agree that those that didn't make it totally missed out. Sone's tank was beautiful and Central Campus is incredible. It will be really interesting to see what it looks like in 6 months to a year. By the time MACNA comes around, it is going to look awesome. 14,000 gallons of display tanks and another 6000 gallons in the mixing and holding tanks upstairs. Can we post pics here or should be start a new thread for that?

    Thanks to everyone. Sorry I had to duck out before it was over at Central Campus. Loved talking with folks who were there. Would have liked to stayed for more conversation. Very impressive tanks!
