Great to meet everyone and put some faces to names...but don't expect me to remember next time I see you. I'm horrible at that. Lol.

Thanks to everyone that opened their homes, I enjoyed getting a chance to see the setups.  After seeing Josh's basement, I've decided I should buy stock in DTE (at least until he consolidates everything into a room instead of his whole basement).

Thanks for posting them!  I'll definitely have to go next time.

Thanks for posting pictures Rich.

I was surprised to see that so many had lights on all the tanks. Do you normally keep the tanks lit or was it primarily because of the tour and a special effort was made?

I run my display tanks on timers. Not every tank in my fishroom has a light though. Lights from other tanks provide enough ambient lighting.

I have lights on all my tanks.  They all have timers.  Fishroom lights are on two hours a night.  Fry tanks lights are on one hour in morning and two at night.  Display tank upstairs has lights on for three hours a night.

I would like to thank the organizers and all the people that opened there homes to us.  My wife and I had a great time.  It was nice to meet some of you there and put faces es to names.  And you can certainly count us in on the next one.

I run my lights on timers also...usually 6-8 hours a day but may be cutting it back a bit to prevent algae growth.  Plus the ones I don't look at as much don't need the light for me or the fish.

Not that I was on the tour. But all my tanks are planted so the lights are on for 12 hours a day.
