![]() Along with the library, money will also be earmarked for an aquarium facility at the Calgary Zoo, a new or expanded Science Centre and important upgrades to Heritage Park.

![]() I know a group of reefers in New York helped their zoo set up a tank. Maybe we can help out somehow.

![]() I had the same idea. A while back I went to the zoo and saw the sad reef tank in the Australlian exhibit. I was going to ask the zoo if they needed some help, and also see if I could get frag donations from canreef to get their tank going. When I went back they had already started remodeling the exhibit, and no more reef tank. If they set up a aquarium hopefully they would except help from the hobbyist's. Most aquariums that I have been to don't even compare to hobbyist tanks that I have seen and kept.

![]() I have always thought they should set up an exhibit with aquariums from every where around the world, fresh and marine. I think they would get more support for this than they think. They would most certainly have my support!

![]() Well, we can forget about that I guess...
![]() Apparently they should have used the term "aquatic" and not "aquarium". Polar bears, seals, and stuff. |
