Michael Paletta San Antonio Tank Tour.

[TexasTodd]

O.K., we need to line up some tank tours for Michael in the San Antonio area. I'd love to get him to other areas, but time just doesn't allow it.

Once we have a list of volunteers I will map out the tour.


PLEASE MAKE YOUR SUBMISSION BRIEF.

1. PUT DOWN YOUR APPROXIMATE LOCATION (nw, sw, nc, sc, ne, se, down town)

2. VERY BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM. (size, age, main coral types)

3. *******MUST PUT DOWN IF YOUR SHOWING NEEDS TO BE AFTER 5:30 PM, OR, CAN BE ARRANGED FOR A FRIDAY "day" SHOWING. EVENING SHOWINGS WILL BE LATE ON THURSDAY EVENING AND NOT MANY SO ONLY BOOK THEN IF IT'S THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN DO IT.

4. We'll run this list by Michael and try to let him pick what he can.

5. I'll then do a mapquest to line up the game plan.

6. You DO NOT have nominate your own tank. But the owner will have to confirm showing and time.

Thanks all.

[gjuarez]

SOrry for hijacking Todd, just wanted to show everyone Mike Paletta's old tank. ITs a beauty.

[TexasTodd]

No problem Jerry. Hopefully he's figured out HOW to get a shot of his NEW ONE!. 12' x 4' x 30" tall!

Diego, PUT YOURS UP!

Todd

[MikeyBoy]

Todd,

I would love for him to come by..........
215 tank, 135 fuge, 135 sump, 60 cube and dedicated fish room.

Friday day or Thursday night is fine.

Let me know as soon as you can, I need to do some tank cleaning if he is coming!!!!
And make sure mine is before yours, I dont want him comparing the two!!
Tank has been up and running about 9 1/2 months

[TexasTodd]

No problem Mike, he'll love your set up. It should be on Friday as we will have limited time Thursday evening.

I just guessing, but I don't think Michael will be "telling people what they're doing wrong". From talking with him I think he likes to see lots of different systems as everyone does things just a little bit differently.

PETE?
GARY?
JEFFCO?
SCUBA?
FALCONDOB?
TECHNOMEX?
ACE?
Carl?
Jose?

That's just a few off my head. Where are you all at?

Todd

[bigdscobra]

Well if he wants to see some small tanks than stop by LOL ;) they are pritty well stocked with assortments of zoas softies and a couple sps. 20g Angler 29g Reef 20g Fuge 30g sump 10g propagation tank. Anytime friday would be cool.

NE SA Jones Maltsberger & 1000 Oaks Area.

[TexasTodd]

Yes Dan I think he'll want to see it. Especially your cool stand etc!

COME ON PEOPLE! We can probably do 3-4 tanks Thursday evening.

But have all day FRIDAY!!! Take a different lunch hour and we'll schedule it in!!!!

Todd

[hobogato]

Todd, my tank will be available thursday or friday after 4:30.

240 gal mixed coral reef.

i am on the ne side. he will just have to keep in mind that i just moved everything in, and not everyone is happy right now :blink i am very close to fin addict and madison hs, so if you want to include me, lmk and ill get you my address.

[akm]

Sure Todd, he can come by. Thursday would be better since I have school on friday.

[v2k]

I don't have a tank worth looking at, but would be pleased to help host/drive Mike Paletta around town...

I am available Thursday morning and all day Friday...

In addition to being helpful, I hope, it would be a treat for me to see other tanks.

LMK
Victoria

[falcondob]

I will throw my hat in the ring. Would have to be during the day Friday. (Guess I will have to take the little treasure chest and diver out...)
John

[TexasTodd]

Thanks Ace. We'll see what else pops up here and then line up a schedule tomorrow some time.

Todd

[JeffCo]

I would put mine on this list, but I'm 30 mins south of SA and only available thursday after 6pm. Can't get off work on Friday, (already leaving early to attend the Seaworld tour).

[TexasTodd]

Hey Jeff, shoot me a pm with your address.

I think Mike would want to see your tank. Let's see if we can fit it in.

Todd

[TexasTodd]

NOW THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK BETTER!

Sheri?

Pete?, Gary?, others?

Todd

[gjuarez]

I havent seen Pete on maast for a while. I think Mike would enjoy seeing his tank. Todd, I wont be able to attend the meeting but can you ask the people who are showing their tanks to post a pic here? It will be an online tank tour for us folks who cant make it.
Jerry

[TexasTodd]
