Idaho Marine Aquarium Society Reef/Marine Aquarium Tour March 13, 2004 11:00 AM 4:00PM Welcome to the Idaho Marine Aquarium Society s 2nd Annual Reef Tour. This year we have a total of 14 tanks at 12 different homes for the tour and we hope it is as successful as last years. Just pick which homes you would like to visit, map your route, then jump in your car on the morning of March 13 th and enjoy. At each tour location, you will be treated to a basic educational briefing in an attempt to acquaint you with the basics of this wonderful hobby. The tank owners experience range from less than a year to more than ten years but all the tanks are beautiful. There are a wide range of tank sizes on this tour, from a beautiful 20 gallon reef to an impressive 240 gallon marine system. For a preview of the tour, please visit the IMAS website at www.idahoreefs.org.
