For anyone who is into the softies..Ricardos and 45 Commando's tanks are breath taking. The most colorful tanks I have seen, and the most colorful set-ups...

I know it's kind of off original topic, but how do you guys keep your glass so damn clean? I scrape with a razor, but my tank is 24" deep. I know Rogger isn't going diving in his tank to scrape the glass... but maybe he's paying Mel?
Is everyone just using the thing that you glue onto a magfloat that a razor blade screws into? Does pat still carry them? |

lol...I offered to clean Roggers tank like they do at Sea World but he declined.

When will we know times of this, or are there not going to be times, it'll just be open all day? I'm excited, but I want to see other people's tanks too!
And are there any carpools going on. I know there is a lot of people down in Kendall SoMiami, then the Hialea crew, and NoMiami, then there's Broward, east and west, then Boca/delray/deerfield. I'm down to cruise with anyone in Boca/Delray/Deerfield. Come check my tank out, then we can get up and drive down to Broward and maybe Miami. |

Times will be emailed out to the hosts tonight for a final ok. An email with times and directions should go out to all members Thursday evening, so there should be a few days to coordinate car pools if people want.
