Hello All,
It is official. Saturday July 18th - 9am Start!

SCRM Tank Tour 1.png
We are doing a Tank tour that will be on Saturday July 18th. The first location will be in Redlands and we will work our way west. We have multiple tanks lined up to see as well as some fish stores along the way. This will be a members only event. If one is not a member you will still have a change to sign up for this. The Address of the locations will be send in an email to all paying members. I am working with some for items and donations for the end of the trip. Some of the Stores has also offered us discounts and or raffle prize as well.

Each location we will spend about 1/2 hour. The host of each Aquarium can tell all the basics about their aquarium and follow up questions can be answered at another time if needed. The Store visit will be more about them and their business. What got them to open a store? what they specialize in? and things like that. We will not have time to do a full shopping experience at some of these locations to do time limitations.

We will also be doing some raffle tickets at each stop for participants that make it to each stop.

So this is what we have lined up for the day

The goal is to spend 1/2 hour at each location and we can always have discussion on these aquariums on a local forums (do not get me started on this issue - LOL).

This is going to be super fun.
We are discussing doing a "poker run" type contest with a raffle at the end.
Definitely worth everyone's time.

we plan to go. hoping it's early. do we have a timeline? sorry if I missed it.

we're also trying to work out a carpool.
Richard was doing the itinerary.
I do know the plan was to start at the furthest point from the OC and work West.
I also believe the end point was Reef Lounge in Norco.
Jimmy had promised me food for everyone in the past... I'll "remind" him and we'll go from there

Just an update because it seems there was a little confusion..

The date for the Tank Tour is Saturday July 18th.

I know if we were going to do an event it would usually be the Saturday following our usual second Friday of the month Meetup, but there were scheduling conflicts so we are on for next Saturday July 18th. We will be posting up more details in an itinerary shortly. Those of you who are on our email list already got something for me this morning, misspellings included, but keep your eyes open for a further email and for an update here.

Wow, a real tank tour. This was so fun back in the days.

I remember backyard frag swaps and tank tours were the highlights of reefing. I met some really cool folks this way.

And carpool is even more fun because you get to talk reef and go to all these different spots.
