    well I have been on vacation the last few weeks and have taken a ton of pics of the diffrent places we visited, this was one of my favorite places.

    big tank on the way in to the aquarium, it has a ROV in it that you can play with for a few bucks.

    there are three tanks set up right after the entrance one SW, one fresh, and one brackish, they are really cool and well designed even if there are no real corals in them.

    and the monster tank, its the deepest in the country from what I read but you be the judge.

    The large circular freshwater one looks the exact same as the one at the entrance of the Newport, Ky Aquarium. It's loaded with cichlids. Might have to make a trip down to see that one, looks pretty cool. One of the best ways to spend the day can't beat it :D.

    Never been to one with a ton of coral though that would be AMAZING.. any in the mid-westish area?
