Big Country July 16, 2012 Share July 16, 2012 I live over in Lithicum Heights right by BWI airport. Not too far from you to visit but too far to tank sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt LeBaron July 16, 2012 Share July 16, 2012 I'm actually moving to Ellicott City at the end of August, assuming the house inspection doesn't find that the rancher we have under contract is going to fall over in a month. I probably won't be able to tank sit for you as I'll be moving my own tank at that point but it is good to know of other local members. I'll get myself posted on the Google Map locator too.

corsi1330 July 16, 2012 Share July 16, 2012 (edited) Real close Damascus. Shoot me a pm. Will need to think about it if you are a Yankee fan :-) Edited July 16, 2012 by corsi1330 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve175 July 16, 2012 Share July 16, 2012 I live in West Friendship, MD (~ 15 min from you) right off I-70 and 32. Not as available for tank sitting these days, but I like the idea of getting to know the local reefers in the club. Although we are a bit far from the big boys in the big city, the meetings are well worth the drive if you haven't yet attended one. Maybe we should set up a local tank tour for the I-70 guys? (I'd love to see Big Country's tank as I have been learning from him for quite some time now and never realized that we are neighbors). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to help out when I have knowledge of the discussion topic, alot of people have helped me out over the years and it seems that I still can't get it right to get my tank really going, alot of that is me getting lazy in the summer and not keeping up with the water changes though. Anyone is welcome to swing by whenever, just give me a yell if you're in the area. Always willing to talk aquariums, fishing or hunting. I'd be in for a tank tour of all the local guys and gals.

BigCountry's is definately worth a visit. Nice setup for sure having seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve175 July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 We need a leader with organizational skill to pick a date and work out the logistics. One, two, three . . . NOT IT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prunfarm July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 I'm in New Market, but my tank is certainly not tour worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowieReefer84 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 I will set it up. I will start another thread not to derail this anymore. I figure since I have nothing to show the least I can do is organize... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve175 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 Mike (BowieReefer): Thanks for organizing. I think that we should make it clear that folks don't have to show their tank to attend. The point is to meet fellow local reefers and share some knowledge between us. THe bigger the group the better, but I think that more that 3-4 stops (with a bit of driving between) is gonna be hard. While my tanks aren't nearly ready for prime time, I would love a consult from the group and am more than happy to share where I am at this point as a stop. I will keep an eye out for your new thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowieReefer84 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 (edited) Yea, if we start at Big Country (starting point) in Linthicum and travel the 95, 100, 29, 70 corridor it's prob 30 min to your place (end location). I am sure there are 2-3 others along the way. I figure 30 min at each house with a 10-15 min drive between. 4 tanks (2hours) plus an hour driving would not be a bad day? The tough part will be scheduling. I would think early on Saturdays would be best? Like 9am-noon... I will start another thread... If we could get TomD from CMAS in on this everyone would be in for the best/healthiest setups I have ever seen in my life...
