Well, put a bunch of us near a tank like that, it is becomes a free-for-all, you never know what you'll bring home.

[jawwad2004]

So how are we all going to do this? We're just going to meet up over there at a certain time? Im going to bring my brothers and girlfriend, is that cool?

 

[heuerfan]

I emailed Joe asking him how big of a group he can accomodate. Also, i told him weekends are the only time we would be available to do this. Waiting to hear from him.

 

[heuerfan]

Update, here's Joe's response!

"If its a big group, we'll split it into smaller groups for the BTS, so the more the merrier.
I'm usually off weekends but to join your group isn't much trouble, just give me as much lead time so I can make arrangements for someone to watch my kids as my wife works weekends. The reduced rate I usually give to fellow reef clubs is $10 per person and no charge for the BTS.
Joe"

So when we going?

 

[clownfishking]

[jhale]

[LiquidBlues]

[jhale]

It's in riverhead, about two hours.

 

[alrha]

Ok, so far we are 18 ppl (if you are bringing guests with you, please specify so we can let him know how many ppl we will be).

Again, the up-to-date list is on the first post. make sure it is correct.
