    The rotation is done for the year, it was the new reef area :) They also re-opened the outer bay exhibit after the renovation.

    Thanks, DROID works wonders!

    I don't recall there being anything different but it has been 6 years.

    It does sort of look that way, even though I have never been.

    Awesome pictures. I love all the anthias in the reef tank. I need to go to an aquarium sometime. There's a good one like 5 minutes from my house, if theres traffic. I don't think I've been since the school field trip days, its sad haha.

    The pictures don't really do it justice it is so much higher then it looks.

    +1 lol I was with my dad and he slid a little bit and grabbed me to stop, it was funny but if we were closer it'd have been scarey. lol yes very high cliffs i'd guesstimate at least 100'?

    Also the corals in the aquarium are amazing. Not many places actually have large coral displays.
