There is simply no way to describe this tank, it's all real, no fake corals. The tank is about 8' by 8' Tall... I'm pretty sure they are using natural sunlight and some. The purple acro in the middle is about 24" across just to give you some perspective. This was the one tank that had me totally bummed as it's a bow front and impossible to capture images. Almost every square inch is covered.

Nice pics of the dragons
. That reef looks amazing too. I know what you mean about the little kids. When we went to the GA, we went as early as we could, but once we got the reef display all the little kids were there screaming "look mommy it's nemo! Look mommy it's dory!" It got old fast.

The one thing that really kinda ruined it for me was that parents let their kids act like raving monsters, I was trying to capture images of the reef tank, but some guy lets his kid start kissing the tank (trying to kiss Dory), the dad thinks it funny, the kids starts slobbering and makes this huge mess on the tank surface and then the dad just walks away....I had my tripod setup and I was being ultra sensitive so that I wasn't bothering anybody, then this momzilla snorts off, about how they should ban tripods and so I blurted out, "yeah they should ban doublewide strollers as well" I swear I have never seen so many freakin strollers, it was almost like a Stephen King novel.... I had planned on spending the entire day, ended up staying about an hour and then I bailed to San Diego
I'm all for having a few days each month where public places like this have a "no stroller day"

get use to it..best thing to do is buy faster glass so you dont need any type of tripod/monopod.

Max, those are some awesome pics! Thanks for posting them.
It's a shame it was such a mad house there and you could not stay all day. I like your thinking of a few "no strollers day".

Still some nice pics Max. I was in So Cal this weekend as well, just about 60 mi down the road until this morning. Went to a cpl LFS's in OC, picked up a spotted Mandarin, cleaner wrasse, a cpl zoa & Paly frags, nothing too exotic. I was kind of on a mission for a new fairy wrasse. Ended up at one of my fav LFS's in Huntington Beach...they had a cpl pairs of Hawaiian Flame Wrasses....beautiful specimens but I didn't have that kinda scratch on me so I passed.
Some very nice livestock in the stores though....we need to make a road trip!!!
Great shots, sorry you got caught up in the Graco/Evenflo 500. Forgot to tell you that was in So Cal this weekend...
