Places in Cowtown where you've seen saltwater tanks (excluding fish stores!)
 
So the other day the wife and I were dining out and we noticed that the establishment had a saltwater tank. I started wondering about other places in town that have saltwater tanks (other than fish stores!) as well and thought it would be cool to get a list together. I know of a tonne of others but I have not seen them in person so I'll let those who have chime in :)

=========================================
Seoul Korean BBQ - Macleod Trail - 100g(ish) FOWLR :)
Edgemont club -
Chinese Buffet place - at deerfoot mall - 75 or 100 gal
Stempede Toyota -
Country Hills Toyota -
Fuji Yama - downtown -
Varsity Towers Appartments - - FOWLR

Thanks! That narrows it down to 20 strip malls and only 59 restaurants north of chinook on Macleod. :lol:

Stopped at the Solo liquor store on Glenmore and Barlow last week and noticed the computer repair shop next door was building a large tank not sure if fresh or salt though, guess I'll have to stop by for another six-pack in a couple weeks.

it's in the same plaza as Colt Engineering...just north of the mattress place on the corner of 61st (I think) and Macleod.

Catching up here... lol

The Children's Hospital also has a saltwater aquarium, not sure on the size, but its pretty big!

Unfortunately, whoever is running the show has made it look like more of a freshwater tank. I don't have the time or experience to help out in matters, though do know who to contact if someone else is so inclined.

The tank is along a wall near the west court area on the main floor.

Yep. It's "Seoul Korean BBQ". I was there last Friday. It's looking a little rough (the tank that is), but the Galbi and Bolgogi is fantastic.

Went there for some bodywork 2 years ago and saw a very well stocked FOWLR.
The fish were beautiful and the tank was clean, but it seemed a bit crowded.
They had a lot of my favorites and they were a good size, so it was pretty memorable.

Pang Pang Chinese/Vietnamese Restaurant in deer run has a fish only tank. But it looks quite gloomy. Some nice fish in it though.

When I was winter tire shopping last fall, had gone over to Tireland http://tinyurl.com/5ukeuub (google map) and had noticed in the far corner I'd think ~ 100 gal tank. Although did not go over to look and see if it was salt or fresh.
