jamal October 10, 2007 October 10, 2007 sorry for the jinx howard. we were saying that about the firefish. that they are jumpers.
HowardofNOVA October 10, 2007 October 10, 2007 No problem Jamal, with the 2 Firefish and 1 Perc in the tank by themselves for so long, adding the 2(3) Neon Striped Gobies and Tennenti Tang lately, I guess the excitment was too much for them to bare??
zotzer October 10, 2007 October 10, 2007 Dang, Howard....sorry about your firefish. After losing three animals in a 36 hour period, I feel your pain. One carpet surfed, one I murdered on purpose (whelk), and the latest was the miniature watchman goby that I didn't even want to begin with. LOL He actually still may be alive in the back of the aquapod somewhere, but my gut tells me that he was eaten by the return pump. Tracy
dshnarw October 10, 2007 October 10, 2007 Thanks for the tank tour - awesome tank - and the steaks (will be eating very soon). Jamal and Josh - nice to meet you guys! Sorry to hear about the firefish - I've had that happen a couple times now.
HowardofNOVA October 16, 2007 October 16, 2007 Unbelievable, the second Firefish is back from the dead!!! Don't know where he has been for the last week+, but swimming and looking great! Too many caves and crevices to hide in?
Bob October 22, 2007 October 22, 2007 I was flattered by Howard suggesting I add myself to the tank tours...... I am flattered, still a Newby and learning but willing to hook up with anyone in DC to schedule a tour. Anyone else in DC want to put together something. Brian? Chris? Anybody? PM me. Lets do this thing.
reefhunter November 12, 2007 November 12, 2007 (edited) If there is one set up for Leesburg area... my tank could be a stop... Edited November 16, 2007 by reefhunter
Bob November 14, 2007 November 14, 2007 Bob any news on this tank tour? Let me holler at the DC homies and see if we cant do something after Thanksgiving and before Christmas.

Brian Ward December 16, 2007 December 16, 2007 Looks like I need to bail on this tour. I lost all the fish in the 120 FOWLR last weekend and I've been preoccupied with trying to treat those fish, clean up the tank, etc. The nano has been a bit neglected and has a fair amout of algae at the moment. If anyone really wants to stop by and take a look, let me know and I can be around. Weather's supposed to be horrible too, which certainly doesn't lend itself to many people making it out here. Sorry guys. I'll get things in better shape early next year so we can have one in the spring. ~Brian
treesprite December 24, 2007 December 24, 2007 I would actually be interested in seeing some of the large tank projects "in progress". If you ask me, it's easier to learn from that than from seeing only the end results.
jamal December 25, 2007 December 25, 2007 well i am available weekends so when at least two others in dc are ready we can get this ball rolling again
Freezerburn February 3, 2008 February 3, 2008 Any more tank tours going on? I'm interested in seeing some member tanks!
kngfisher February 3, 2008 February 3, 2008 Any more tank tours going on? I'm interested in seeing some member tanks! will try to convince flowerseller to host one once he is finished with his renovation project :-)
jakaufman March 4, 2008 March 4, 2008 i am in NW DC and would like to see some tanks to get ideas and info before mine is actually put together (collecting parts now and putting it together around April/May) PM me if there is anything in the DC/Chevy Chase/Bethesda area ! Joe
bbyatv June 29, 2009 June 29, 2009 If I wanted to host a tank tour what would be the next step. I am thinking 7/11/09 or 8/8/09? Anyone interested? Here is a pic of the tank. Bruce

flowerseller June 29, 2009 Author June 29, 2009 If I wanted to host a tank tour what would be the next step. I am thinking 7/11/09 or 8/8/09? Anyone interested? Bruce You've inadvertently already taken "the next step" by deciding to welcome us into your home and share your tank. I'd suggest you identify reefers in your area, pick a date and have overlapping times so people can drop by several tanks over the course of the afternoon. People tend to stay as long as they wish but enjoy the ability to check out several tanks over a few hours. Let me know if I can help you organize. Sonya and I will likely do a tour with several, local to us, reefers in the fall. After knfisher upgrades to a 150 and it has time to settle down.
bbyatv July 6, 2009 July 6, 2009 OK. I am cleared for a tank tour Saturday evening 7/11/09 at 7:30. If you are interested in stoping over and talking fish, I will provide some beers and chips. I also have a couple of frags I need to clear out. No RSVP required but if you know in advance you might stop by, please let me know so I plan accordingly. Thanks, Bruce
Chad February 23, 2010 February 23, 2010 Anyone put one of these together recently? It is a great way to see a lot of different setups and ideas You always see and learn more in person than by reading
