Cedar point also recently opened the nearby castaway bay, with an elaborate enclosed waterpark with a five-story structure featuring a vaulted wood ceiling that covers a natural setting of palm trees, huts, inland lagoons and plenty of wet and wild water adventure.
They also have soak city water park at cedar point, and a train that goes around the entire park. The magnum is old news, man. You gotta go again! Cedar point has the most coasters of any amusement park in the WORLD! cedar point is way better! lol. And the #1 amusement park in the world thing is a fact, it was voted by a survey conducted by "Amusement Today" It also received two "golden ticket" awards in 2004 for the "best of the best" by "Amusement Today".
Your opinion is sooo outdated!!! LMAO!

But on a more serious note, thanks for the input, i'll definately go to King's island sometime. My family's been there, but not me
. Oh well.

no i think you confused the two, it was at one point the fastest wooden roller coaster, but it is still the longest....look at my post I edited it...

Hello to all!
I am 25 yrs old and just married in Feb. down in Mexico. My wife and I couldn't have picked a better place. I started SW fish keeping about two years ago because of a snorkeling adventure in Cosumel a few years back and I love the hobby. Their is nothing more relaxing than sitting in my living room gazing at the underwater life.
I have a 55 gallon FOWLR and inside I have a regal tang, yellow tang, maroon clown, valintini puffer, threadfin butterfly, and a cleaner wrasse. It sounds like a lot of fish for a 55 but they are all small and I plan to upgrade in the future.
Thanks to my wife I have not spent my entire savings of this hobby but I can see how some do. Although their is a high expense with this hobby you get a good return for your investment. I plan to keep going as long as I can.
I agree with everyone stating that this website has been beneficial. There are many people here that are great SW fish keepers and know there stuff. Thanks to all who have pointed people in the right direction.

lol jenn. VHO or very high output is just a secondary lighting to metal halide, metal halide is more expensive and has the capability of getting to higher watt ratings without tons of bulbs. there are limitations for the reef on how high VHO can get, as opposed to metal halide which will give you much more lighting power in less of a space..with the larger tanks.. meaning 100 on up VHO's are avail. but would take so many more bulbs..here is a pic of a VHO set up equal to about 260 watts, as opposed to a metalk halide bulb with can contain 250 watts for one small bulb!! the middle smaller bulbs are power compacts and lunar lights
