Hi Sam. Yeah, I know. At least you live near the ocean anyhow, think how nuts you'd go if you were stuck in a prairie city. At least we've still got the Rockies in sight over here in Calgary. When I came home I hit into a pretty serious depression, I got to thinking, what would I rather have, a glass box with a piece of a reef in it, or go see a real reef once per year or so? It honestly works out to about the same. We'll have to see, I don't think I could truly give up everything for the moment but it sure makes me think twice about future reef purchases.

Hi Bevery, yeah it's funny but the same sort of thoughts went through my head as I saw things. "Oh what a great idea for aquascaping, ...."

Hi Richard. Yeah, the corals are not bad but if you've seen the Carribean or better yet, the south Pacific (Australia's GBR, or Fiji, or ...), there's hardly any comparison. Although tropical, and warm to us, the water is technically a little too cool for some very serious SPS formations. Nevertheless it is still very cool to see. And of course the fish #'s are amazing.
