Omaha's Zoo Aquarium

Not to sidetrack the thread, but Toronto is currently building an aquarium that they claim will be world class, heres the link: http://www.ripleyaquariums.com/canada/welcome-to-ripleys-aquarium-of-canada/

Looks cool, if I travel that way I will have to keep it in mind.

I so wish I had an aquarium like that where I live... those reef tanks are amazing.

Ya, with the recent remodel they really focused on coral and reef conservation. Nearly all the corals have been propagated in house. The head of this department is well know world wide from my understanding (Mitch Carl). I guess they also receive corals from the U.S. Coast Guard when they find someone illegally farming them. The corals are then housed in an effort to propagate them and help 'save' the reef.
