Wow!
If you can keep lions and giraffes you should be able to keep an aquarium.

 

[GreenPuffers]

I think one us could do a MUCH better job. As a metter O fact I think we ALL have a better tank than they do!!!

 

[Butchdawg14]

christine you have a PM

 

[Huhhhhh]

Wow that poor tang. Is that the cheyanne Mountain Zoo? i didn't know they had a reef tank.

 

[GreenPuffers]

Kevin, you have a PM

 

[reefkoi]

That's crazy, looks like a rescue tank, I can't believe they would display a tang like that.

 

[jakesgvr4]

They have 3 tanks? Or two, 1 fresh and 1 salt. Its been a long time since I was there. The tanks are in the Hippo building I believe.

 

[GreenPuffers]

ya it was the zoo here, the tank the tang was in was in was full of FAKE coral anyway,the stuff you can get at petco. Kev yougota PM

 

[Caleb Kruse]

I wonder if the SCMAS should offer to take care of it? One member would be chosen each month, and would brief the club on how its doing at each meeting.

 

[GreenPuffers]

I think we should just invite their keepers to a few meetings, send em down to Scott for proper lighting and maybe then they might figure it out.

 

[Caleb Kruse]

They need more than proper lighting, they need proper feeding instructions.

 

[GreenPuffers]

No kidding. I might have to call tomorrow and speak with some one about it. I was pretty irritated with the situation. Looks like they might need a RO unit too...all that hair algea

 

[Huhhhhh]

What they need is someone who cares.

 

[GreenPuffers]

I agree Huhhhhh.........

Couldn't agree more with these comments, but I've been going to the zoo for years now and that blue tang while it looks like crap, it has looked like that for the last couple years... Might look like crap, but it's stable. If we could get in there as an organization (not sure what the status of becoming a registered group) to setup/maintain an aquarium and put our club's name out there, it might be worth it. I'm sure they don't have much of a budget for the aquarium. Perhaps we could get a LFS, or a few LFS's to sponsor it by providing supplies (lights, livestock etc...) in exchange for some advertising?

I believe it's still maintained by the previous owner of Fishy Business. He been maintaining those tanks for years.
