In the spirit of taking up bandwidth, as it appears to be the recent trend
Way out there thoughts ....
Imagine a group of municipalities of members combining resources and making one big tank, like a public aquarium
For example, how many Greater Vancouver members are there, with how many combined gallons ?
So, say, a 20 or 50,000 gallon aquarium, with public pay access, and a members-only area with a lounge to bring your family and friends, and maybe sleep-over areas ....
All members combine what they pay at home and holee ... now there would be a big tank. And maybe one that would showcase true reefs that are sustainable, and a self-sustaining hobby with the public viewing fees
Each member is required to perform maintenance duties and, with the sheer volume of us all, nobody has to deal with anything big on their own
Plus, you'd be able to go diving in your tank
What a crazy idea
OK, carry on
