    Haha yeah I saw that. It's gonna be a pain keeping them at the right temp being outside plus I'd think there would be so many fish deaths due to stress it'd be crazy.

    If they actually use Fiberglas that is not gel coated, or epoxy coated, I will have to go there and tell them how to do it the correct way.

    It's called "finding nemo", not finding fans.

    I don't think this will help too much with the fan finding thing, unless they want to have a reef society have a meeting during a game.

    It's a retractable roof stadium so for the most part they will be in a controlled environment out of the sun. But still a bad idea imo.

    Just wait until they realize what the livestock costs are going to be from all the stress-induced disease and death...

    how would they be any different then the set ups at the local aquarium, they are watched and touched by thousands of people, and im sure they have chillers on these tanks, it doesnt look like a they just threw a tank there, they are building an entire stadium, its in south FL, im sure they have a few (to say the least) saltwater experts. I think its gonna be damn cool!

    At an aquarium, you don't have people constantly running around, thousands of cameras flashing, people jumping up and down, and speakers loud enough to transmit shock waves through the tank.

    Actually, scratch the first 3 points; this is the Marlins, I forgot.

    Have you been to the aquarium lately, I went about a month ago, there was thousands of small kids on school class trips, tourists taking lots of pics. Plus that's about 8 hours of the day 6 days of the week, this would be about 4 hours a day, not year around, sometimes 5 times a week but usually far less. They will be fine.
