    This a reef tank from my local aquarium (the Newport aquarium). This place is about 10 min from my condo and I visit it often. I found this video online and thought I would I would share. Not a whole lot of corals as of yet, but the last time I was their, I was assured it would be filled with coral within the next year or two. Anyways this is cool tank with tons of rock and potential!

    That tank is awesome! When things grow out and they get it more stocked it is going to be amazing!

    I wish I had one near me :( They have an amazing one in Minnesota that was part of the zoo. I haven't been there in ages though.

    We love the Newport Aquarium! Went to school in Cincinnati and we visit there regularly. So much better than a Ripley's!

    I wanna work there! That would be so cool. This tank should look amazing when it's grown out! :D

    The Columbus(OH) zoo has an aquarium...some cool fish there but it looks pretty lame, with almost no corals and a LOT of fake sculptures.
