Bass Pro Shop 13000 gal. Tank

[rxinc]

Anyone seen the 13,000 gal SW tank at the Bass Pro Shop in Bolingbrook. It is the Islmorada restaurant. One side faces the bar, the other the tables.

Schools of BIG Tangs: Naso ( most w/ streamers), Unicorn ( one must be 3 ft. long), Achilles, Sohal, clown, yellow, and purple.

Moorish Idols, many big butterflies, some puffers, anthias, and wrasses.

It's pretty nice, I was told it was 18k though

Along the same lines, has anyone ever seen the "Aquarium Restaurant"? We were in Nashville a couple months ago - There's one pretty close to the Grand 'ol Opry -200,000 gallon tank in the middle of the dining area - Divers periodically go in to feed the fish and amuse the crowd -

We didn't eat there, but walked through the dining area. Heard stories about fingernails and sprite....

Right outside the rest. is Stingray City, a swimming pool sized petting / feeding venue with some huge rays. These are not the little rays like at Sea World, some of the were 3-4 feet across

I've got pics somewhere from the restaurant - I was too cheap and pressed for time so we didn't do stingray city.

Not sure how a pretty young thing like you might go over in a big 'ol shop full of rednecks like that.

I could see it getting pretty messy.....

 

[craftytony]

I am part redneck though.....i grew up in rock falls illinois!

If your porch collapses and kills more then 5 dogs...you just might be a redneck.
