Want to see cool tanks

If you know of nice aquariums in offices, resteraunts, stores, pet stores, etc., let me know so I can go see.

Are you a tank stalker?

Mine is decent not spectacular though. If you're in my neighborhood I suppose I could let you look at it for a nominal fee. (frags of course)

Lookin good Joel! Do you have a website or anything with more specs on your tank? Those candy cane, torch, and hammers I got from you are still doing great (and growing!). Didn't I get those green zoos from you too? They bring alot of color to my tank, and spread like crazy!

I don't have a website or anything, and that pic is several months old. I guess I should take some current pics. Everything looks about the same now just bigger. I'm quite sure you did get the zoos from me. I'm glad to hear everything is doing well.

my 2 cents

maybe everyone is misunderstanding me, I want to know about the public tanks that you know about around town.

I gotta give props to the huge tank at The Fish Store and More in Buckhead that is on the right as you walk in. That thing is awesome.

Ray's on the River has some big tanks, although I wouldn't call them spectacular. I think they are fish only. One is behind the bar if I remember correctly.

Jenn at Imagine Ocean is in the process of building a big tank, but didn't have any water in it last time I was there.

Marine Fish has a fairly large tank when you walk in, but it is not very established and they are slowly building that one up. It's really just a large bucket of water with rock and a smattering of new corals right now.

I think CapBay's coral tanks are awesome. I'd love to have a shallow/wide tank like that one day. Their big fish only tank when you walk in is pretty cool for a FO tank. They have the greek motif statues in there.

I can't think of many other public tanks around Atlanta, but I'm sure there must be some good ones that aren't in pet stores somewhere...

Now, if you ever go to Vegas, there are tons of tanks to check out there. One in the forum at Ceasars is huge. Last time I was there, a guy in scuba gear was vacuming the tank. Of course, Mandalay Bay, Treasure Island, and others....

In the Hyatt Regency or Marriott Marquis downtown (can't remember which) has a restaurant downstairs from the lobby that has a HUGE tank, but it is FO. You can see it through some windows even if the restaurant is not open. Those hotels are something to see inside in their own right - especially the Marriott.
