AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA HAA HAA!

If you can do that for 6K then lemme know where you are stealing from! Does that include water? hehe

I know... I'm a jerk!

Hey like I said, that was just the stuff I could think of offhand. Theres way more to a large tank than a small one so no doubt I've forgotten some major stuff (either that or I'm just better connected than you )

Well my plans are sort of the "reined-in Pipe Dream" not the "free-for-all Pipe Dream" which includes winning the lottery In that dream I say screw the tank and buy a small island in the carribean or something.

I have asked my real estate agent to keep an eye out for the day when the city of Vancouver puts the Aquarium in Stanley Park up for sale.

I would then just add a penthouse on to the structure for living quarters with a view of the north shore mountains. I would maintain the parking outside the aquarium so I could invite my many Canreef friends over on a regular basis.

Now deep breath open my eyes and !!!

PS the Beluga Whale tank would be converted to my reef tank.

Hah! Could I build a small bungalow in the parking lot instead?

And Christy...are we all invited if you *do* ever buy that island in the Caribbean?
