    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    To educate the public, sometimes you need to put them on exhibit, to allow for everyone to see what wonderful and amazing creatures are. That is the first step in encouraging everyone that they need to be protected.

    It is always a fine line between exhibits and entertainment, and making a profit to be able to house these animals properly." You did not want to throw the baby out with the bath water".

    This is no different than putting fish in your tank at home. I could compare it to having certain tang fish in an aquarium. This aquarium shown is just under 2 million gallons...I think they'll be okay:)

    I've seen one that a guy had a 10 foot ladder leaned against his skimmer and it was still another 5 feet to the top. and his tank was only 5,000 gallons

    Whata you say? 60,000lbs of LR and a good 3,000lbs of sand and about 500,000 in coral frags and another couple hundred grand on fish?? Its doable.
