Dr F&S Tour (Live Aquaria)


My local club went on a tour of the coral facility for Dr Fosters and Smith aka Live Aquaria in Rhinelander, WI this past Saturday and I took a bunch of pics that I figured Id share with everyone! If you ever get the chance to go, DO IT! Its something that is absolutly amazing... Heres the link to my photobucket, TRT isnt letting me upload pics the forums or to my albums for some reason.

Enjoy!

Yes, the facility was outstanding. I would encourage any group to get together and make a trip there for the tour. Our group had a blast there, it's something you just have to see.

Do they offer to sell to the group? Or is it strictly tour? I know I wanted to pick up a fish they had out here because I didn't want it to stress from shipping but they had a strict policy against it.

That I do not know. You could try to speak with the retail manager and see if they offer anything of that sort. If that doesnt get you anywhere, shoot me a PM, and Ill ask them here in WI, if the cali site does that or not.
