Well, if you are going to go that far, why not want the tank too. I would love to have a tank that size to play with.
Actually I would love to be able to afford a reef that size....it would mean I was ALOT richer than the poor physicist that types before you. 8) :wink:
I'm probably a little biased but adding "Leo" to the main exhibit last year was one of the best decisions Long Beach ever made. He has adjusted so well that his former tank mate "Donatello" was added a few months ago and is doing equally fine.
Prior to the move they were in an exhibit that left something to be desired and allowed them only 3 feet of depth to move around in.
Now they have 300,000+ gal to play in and more fish around them than they know what to do with. It really is quite a sight to watch them chassing each other around the exhibit while the sharks manuever to stay out of their way.
