Meditate? Ponder? Fantasize?
I've heard the spectrum of experiences you can have is amazing. You can just breathe and enter a yoga-like trance state, or induce hallucinations as complex as role-playing as someone or something else in an actual visible landscape, to having amazing sexual encounters. Ah, the possibilities. My advice is to keep an open mind and let whatever experience emerges emerge.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

If you end up turning into a protoplasmic blob like William Hurt did don't say no-one warned you.
Can't believe nobody else has made an Altered States reference!

A bath where you float weightlessly in a space with absolutely no light or sound... Sounds like a recipe for meeting mind itself.

I think you wear earplugs, not sure though.

Don't forget about The Punisher. He did that shit too and it was awesome.
I'm jealous. I've always wanted to try something like that, but in rural hell there's just no resources to accomidate those types of wants.
I also want to know how this turns out for you.
I'd totally sink that kinda cash into doing it if I had the money/

It's good you don't have expectations of what's going to happen. I'm sure you know what to do!
The isolation tank is such a beautiful tool for people, that can be used in so many ways!

I had found that if one just totally relaxes on the problem of urination, the bladder automatically empties about once every fifteen minutes. The first urination one experiences under this condition is delightful. There is a sense of total enjoyment of the urine flowing after this initial response to the release of the civilized inhibitions. Finally, one doesn't even notice one's bladder is emptying.
Do it. Just flow.

the one OMR is going to, blue light floatation, actually looks nice. that's pimp that they have the option of including your own audio during the session. 
the place i have my eyes on is closer to me in NY state. they have the old timer versions there.

Going on a small dose of LSD would be quite the experience, I'd imagine.
Enjoy the sober endeavor, though. Should be interesting.:D
