    So like always at it again, this coming saturday I will be up at Rhinelander, WI, touring the aquaculture facility called Divers Den. For those that dont know what Divers Den is, It is a WYSIWYG and Aquaculture facility here in Wisconsin. It's a branch of the Dr Foster and Smiths retail industry.

    I have one question for you, and one for them. First how far is Rhinelander from Green Bay drive time? And could you ask them if they can move their fall tour from Nov. to the weekend of the 24th(Oct.) when I will be in Wisconsin watching the Packers kick the pooh out of the Viqueens? I don't think that is too much to ask for a Packer fan/reef fanatic from Idaho. Just joking, I did follow your other thread and next trip I will definitely check out their facility. The pics and your info was awesome. K+

    Id say about an hour and 45 minute drive... to 2 hours. Its about an hour and half from Rhinelander to Appleton. Dont ask why I know this living near either place in a short distance LOL.

    I can see if they will! LOL... But the dates are probably planned for certain reasons...

    Im going for fun and on a mission, To get a new fish to finish my 120... Its very empty without my Achilles.

    And thanks :).

    Looking forward to seeing more pics from the inside! It must be so sweet living close enough to shop their retail store and be able to take the tours.

    one for you, what happened to the achilles?

    and one for them, how do they perform water changes or, do they even do them.

    thanks.

    If I remember correctly, they go though around 3000 gallons of water a day.
