What do you like best about your local Aquarium

I would like to know what your local aquariums best feature is. ;D

 

NOTHING...... Our has too many fish crammed into too small of a tank.. Mojave anenomes growing all over it.. and too end on a even worse note, a queen trigger fish thats about 8 inches long crammed in a 30 gallon bow front...

 

same here. I don't have a local aquarium but some I have visited were nothing to admire. I can see how they would have a hard time keeping corals on such a large scale. I like the tanks here better.;D

 

ok then I'll also ask is there anything you would like to see in your local aquarium?

 

SAme Wild Reef @ the Shedd was no reef at all

 

Ours need to be kept up better.. Less fish and more compatable fish.. Ours have some that look like they've went through a meat grinder.... and behind the scenes tours.. Plus guides that actually know what the hell they are talking about....

 

The main reason I am asking is that the Midwest Museum of Natural History is discussing placing an aquarium next to its main building. I have been asked to help look into the feasibility, and what type of displays would be appropriate. This just starting so all of you in my area don’t expect to see a new aquarium for quite a wile even if they can get the money for it. I expect it to far exceed budget for it. We have lots of ideas but just wanted to hear from the reef community also.

 

Cortland is so close to Chicago that is seems that it would be quite a challenge to compete with Shedd's.

 

I see that Sycamore is between Rockford and Chicago, I never knew that museum was there. Used to go to Rockford quite often but I took 90 and never knew Sycamore was there. Next time I'm in the area maybe I'll take the kids to the museum. Been to the Chicago museums many many many many times! Let us know what they decide on doing.

 

I love the one we have here in Tampa (The Florida Aquarium). They have one of the most impressive captive coral reefs that I've ever seen.
