visited the most tank last Thursday.Nice, but not super nice. We went there to help set up tank and maintain it, but I never heard from them again. I thought it would be better to get a local shop to do this.It has been about 5 or 6 years since then. I miss my tank, but retirement does not have the money to do reef keeping. Also limits traveling.

Didn't know they had a tank. Will have to check it out next time I make a road trip out that way.

I'm actually going to see Wild Ocean Saturday and check out the tank. I will give my feedback for sure.
I've seen it. It's unimpressive. I've visited the museum a few times with my kids hoping to see updates to the exhibit, but not much new. You will enjoy a trip to ABC Reefs more if you want to cool coral. Museum is still a very good attraction with plenty of other very good exhibits, and I'd recommend it to anyone with children under 12. Unfortunately, just not enough effort put into the reef exhibit.

$9 Million?!?!?! How big were their original plans for this aquarium?
the aquarium is roughly 750 gallons, IIRC. I think the $9M figure was for their entire capital project. the stand was built by me, der_wille_zur_macht, mike crownover (used to post here), and a couple other local guys whose names I can't remember. I was in the initial meetings as well.
then both of those guys ended up moving out of state, and roughly around the same time my wife was pregnant and prescribed months of bed rest, so we were all forced to part ways with the project. I'm glad they got the tank up and I run into the exhibits director from time to time and they're really excited about having the reef tank running, they just have a limited budget. I haven't seen the tank in person yet.
we were hoping to do an all-volunteer thing similar to the roch. zoo tank but we just never got the sheer numbers of people we would have needed for maintenance.

It was almost a really cool project, but like Fritz noted, things kind of came apart at the seams right at the most critical point. We had the tank and stand, and had the rest of the build planned and budgeted, but then Mike and I left town, the MOST had a few staff changes, and the collaborative effort collapsed.
I still haven't seen it in person, either.
