  • North side tank tour in the works?

    Gene, step up your game.

    Jim and Miggy is mandatory stops. If you can't get them to host it's a bust.
    I ate my fish that died.

    • I would like to have a North side tank tour. I am waiting on my work schedule to firm up before I set a date.

      I think Miggy, Jim, Thai (once he finishes his 8ftr) would be great hosts. I would love to have Rama host as well I know we would all like to see a Red Bulu Colony. If anyone living North of I-10 is interested in hosting please PM me so I can get an idea about availability and geography (So I can start mapping out and planning the sequence).

      Just found out Al "The Animal" Garcia lives up that way as well, how bout it Al, would you be willing to host?

          Winter Tank Tour V - 2010

          A sales person from Vortech has contacted be about writing a article concerning Tanganyikan fish and the benefits of VORTECH and VORTECH powerhead features and how they could benefit from the different settings and flow characteristics. The award for writing the article, is they will give us 2-MP20 Units for free. What we could do is raffle them off at the next meeting to see who gets them, or some other idea.
