    PICS LUNA ;D I did the behind the scenes tour and they said take as many pics as you like. So I did. I'm in a hotel room with really bad dsl, so it's not letting me load the 386 all at once. I'm loading them onto Kodak Gallery. Sorry for the blurry ones, kids bumping you, random screams from the youngens and the darned fish aren't trained like mine at home on how to pose for a pic. :lol: When I get home, I'll load some more. I HIGHLY recommend the tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Here ya go.

    also, I was sooooo tempted to dip my hand into that frag tank, so far mostly what they have on the smaller tanks is soft corals. And THAT is a wave maker and gives ME a great Idea!!!! Rehabilitate, Relocation, Rescue, Reasearch. Wooo Hoooooo...Oh I figured out what I wanna be when I grow up! A Marine Biologist!!!! (stop laughing)(NOW):hehe: The wheels are a turnin...I wonder if they take frag donations?

    Dude, I could slap myself in the head. The guide showed me this HUGE bag of IO salt stiing on a pallet. It was like a plastic cage/job box. square and taller. HUGE! I forgot to get a pic of it...:-( guess I'll have to go back. I'm gonna buy the yearly pass and get it over with. She(guide) couldn't answer a lot of my questions. So, I'm going to suggest they ask when you buy your ticket for the tour, if you have any water(fresh or salt) knowledge and get someone a little more experienced, who can answer the questions of and not so newbie..... Other than that, the food is expensive, but tasty. They even have a Wolfgang Puck's, with YUMMY Chocolate Mousse... I went by myself and made a day of it!


    Oh and water params....all "THE" alarms, bells and whistles!

    Linda those are fantastic. What a place. I am going to have to stop there on my next trip to Florida thats for sure. I went on a behind the scene tour of the Shedd Aquarium here in Chicago a few months ago. took a few pictures but nothing like that. Thanks for the tour!
