San Antonio/Austin Tank Tours

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Wanted to see if there would be anyone interested in "showing off" their tank in a scheduled MAAST Tank Tour. Schedules/times would be based on locations. (North Austin/S Austin, dividing up SA) Anyone interested, please respond or send me a pm. I like to get this going, and maybe a set up a couple of tours next month. Meetings are getting too large for most peoples homes, yet we all want to share our tanks' progress with others. Also, this allows more MAASTARDS to get together and have some fun! Maybe we'll preview the next Tank of the Year.
What do ya'll think?

i think its a great idea, i would love to make a trip up to austin and see some austin tanks.i would also like to see some here in town.It would probobly give many of us good ideas,show us what they feed their tanks,how their lights systems are set up ,sump set ups,ect.

[caferacermike]

I'm out for about 4 months. Right in the middle of transitioning from the old tank to the new tank.

[lhoy]

I would be up for it, I am in Georgetown though so on the north side to be sure!!!

I'm game....there is probably plenty of room at my house even though there isn't a whole lot to "show off"...i live out by sea world

[RayAllen]

Im willing as long as you guys do not mind seeing a 210g FOWLR, lol No reef in my house at the moment.

[greenmako]

I'm game

[cpreefguy]

I'm game
We were going to come over regardless!!! :bigsmile:

[erikharrison]

I'd love to see GMFett's tank again. That thing was beastly.

[greenmako]

:lauging:

We were going to come over regardless!!! :bigsmile:

[Texreefer]

[apedroza]

i'm in, if everyone is not already tired of seeing it

I never get tired of seeing that tank!!!

[rocketeer]

I'd do it. Sounds like fun. I'm in North S.A..

Jack

[hobogato]

me too.

[RayAllen]

Im always stoked to see Ace's tank. The clam tank is awesome too.

[reeferRob]

How does it work, exactly? I mean if we are all out touring everyone's tanks, who is left to show off your tank? Is there a schedule? Do we all kinda go in a group?

Just curious?

Rob

[RayAllen]

As far as i know other clubs that have done this ride around together in a big van going place to place as a group.

[Bill S]

Hey, this works for me too. I'd LOVE to see a bunch of other tanks.

[JeffCo]

You can count me in too. I'm south of SA, but if you want to make the trip I'm available.

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Thanks for all your replies and submissions. I'm still working out the details, of course schedules will be based off submissions and locations. Come on MAASTARDS, show us what you've got! We need more submissions to make this tour fun and successful!

[Kristy]

(BUMP)

Whatever happened to this idea? Mike and I were really excited about it.

-Kristy

[RayAllen]

Dont think enough people were really up to doing it. Most of us that said sure it would be fun are the regulars on the board, but even with us its not very many people. Ive seen tank tours on DFWs club site that looked like a lot of fun. Oh and have you seen the gas prices, Haha joking.

[Kristy]

Bummer. I really wanted to look at everyone's tanks. Guess we'll have to resume with our window peeping plans.

Unless we could drum up some renewed interest? Notice that I was all excited about seeing everyone's tanks but did not even chime in on this thread... Anyone else?

[tony]

anyone is welcome to come see my whopping 30 cube anytime they want

[C.Mydas]

If MAAST doesnt do an official one, you can always do one yourself. We see it all the time. A group of people going around checking out tanks...lol, had 3 guys over here yesterday doing just that. hth's

[Paul28]

I'm up for showing my tank and meet up with others to see theres. If anyone gets this going let me know it would be fun

[RayAllen]

What sucks for me is the time of year, family visiting or us on vacation. Everyone wants to travel during the spring or early summer before its to hot. We literally have 1 available weekend over the next 6 weeks which is the weekend of May 24 and 25th.

[ErikH]

Yeah, my weekends change by the second. I plan, and the girlfriend changes the day of. Such is life?

[princer7]

Mine is pretty shabby right now.... all frags. Put me on the list for visitors however!! :blushing:

[TinyTanker]

Ill put up pics here in the week, I live behind Hancock Shopping Center, So if you all bring the food ill supply a keg and music. We can have a monthly meeting at my house. Fun for the whole family and all that jazz. I would look forward to it.

[RayAllen]

I can see some San Antonio tanks this Saturday. Anyone else? Paul id really like to see your softy tank and really get to see how big the anemone is, also ive been meening to see Tonys 30g cube. Early in the day maybe.

We can't do this weekend at all. :cry_smile: I'll be out of town on business again and Mike will have his hands full. I'd be happy to coordinate something for the other weekend you mentioned being available (May 24 -25) if you don't end up getting a group together for this Saturday.

[Paul28]

[RayAllen]

Sounds cool Paul, I will shoot you a pm to let you know if I can make it and to make sure you are home.

[Paul28]

[Kristy]

By the way, I was talking to MrsBigBird at AD tonight and she mentioned that there are plans to schedule the SA tank tour for June and Austin tank tour for July.

[zcatzmeow]

Oooh I want to go on an Austin tank tour in July! Yay!

If interested I guess I could my place into the agenda so that you may witness for yourselves the 28 gallon cube of wonder!!!!!! :hypnotyized: A chiller, a refuge, a pod farm, oh my!

However, I guarantee that my cats will steal the show so we will have to pretend to ignore them :P

[princer7]

I'm getting close to having the 215 fully functioning. Won't be much to look at as far as corals go (yet) but the equipment would be nice. :wink_smile: Sould be ready to start moving things this coming weekend.

Some pointers / suggestions are most appreciated too.

[hobogato]

im still in.....

[Bill S]

I'm ALWAYS in - as long as we're home!

[Bill S]

Uh - that sounded a bit sarcastic - didn't it... Didn't mean it THAT way - meant that we're in on having the tour stop by, as long as we aren't at the coast!
