Vacation pics
 

well since there is a rash of vacation pics lately I figured I would add mine. Since mine are fish related I get to post them here though :mrgreen:

here is a shot of the Urchins in there natural habitat.

the rest of the pics are from the Waikiki aquarium, while very small (almost to the point of being a rip off) it did have some very nice tanks but only took me less than an hour to go through. one of the better things was its out door pond, I spent 1/2 an hour looking at this alone, so 1/2 an hour to see the rest :rolleyes:

the indoor reefs (may be more than on pic of a specific tank)

Wouldn't it be cool to have a saltwater pond like that in our backyards over here? .. sigh.

We probably could, but without anything in it except some rocks and water. :razz: At least salt water takes longer to freeze. :biggrin: :lol:

Very nice pictures Steve :cool: Is it Waikik's aquarium that hosts one of the worlds largest captive clams ? Thought I read that in a magazine not to long ago. Really neet to see an aquarium being able to thrive with natural sunlight, and those seadragons ...... :biggrin:

Big clams...

Nice pics Steve. The anemone tank looks the same as in 96 when I was there. :biggrin:

The tanks look so clean :exclaim: Now I have to clean my tank and get a bigger one. Thanks Steve.

Great photos

Ah crap. Now I have to move somewhere tropical aswell.
