Thanks Matt and Micki for the great hospitality!! You're home is beautiful and the tank blends in like a work of art. I really enjoyed hanging out with all my SLASH friends and talking corals, scotch and all

Thank you, Matt and Micki, for hosting the club's pizza night and the hospitality. The pizzas were great! Oh and your tank was not too shabby either...

Thanks to everyone for making the drive and joining us! We had a great time and I am even more inspired to finish it for next time. It was great being able to share my system with the group and hopefully some of your observations will make it better. I am already working on adding flow! Marshall....how's your head feeling after that scotch tasting!

I had a great time, and it was awesome seeing everyone again. Matt, your tank looks great. Thank you for so graciously letting us into your beautiful home, and please let Micki know from all of us that we really appreciated her wonderful hospitality.

That Pizza oven is the beez kneez. I'm sure there are more than a few of us wishing and planning to have an oven of our own someday. So cool.

If it's been said 100 times, it deserves at least 1 more. Thanks Matt and Micki! Esther and I are really glad we came out. Great view out back, and even the "junk" tank makes some of us jealous! Also, food was great and we had lots of fun.

That party was a blast! Thanks a bunch! Julia and I completely enjoyed ourselves! Haha, my head was actually perfectly fine, vitamin B12 is good for that . I just didn't want to get up, haha. Mike - I had a feeling you'd gun it out of there. My Accord didn't do too bad for keeping up with your twin turbo! :P
