LOL Dean that is hysterical - so when you tell fellow reefers your tank is held together with spit and bulkheads you can say "It sure is"
About the Alert System - I was actually tank sitting - so, it could probably be shared in the following manner:
1) If you are tank sitting then the person you are sitting for can distriute the inventory for you to use while they are heading out on vac or otherwise. That will give you a once over before you actually get there and shorten the time for response.
2) If you are not tank sitting and you are on the list, the person going away (who is on the list) would have to alert all the members "on call" of his/her system and the inventory and distribute accordingly. This will put the burden on the person going away to make sure thier emergency contacts had the proper info.
3) if you were on the list, and a loved one (Missy) had to call someone, she would have a reference list to work from and start calling for help rather than relying on someone being online at 3 am. At the very least, that person can walk her through? or try to at least. Worse case, we can instruct the loved one to stir the tank until "we" get there.
Also, this is no guarantee and is only a voluntary alert system, so, no liability is on the person assisting in the event something really bad goes wrong.
Detaisl we can iron out too.
Whatcha think? Does this look like the shape of an agreement?
