take me tizzo......pwweeeaaaaasseeeeeee

 

[hopkins6]

what sucks is that they have only one reef set up and it is cool but not really really cool. (the aquarium in baltimore is better but this one is a whole lot more conveniant for me)(and probably cheaper):happy:

hey man, you in durham, i'm in winston, is there a good lfs down there?

 

[moraym]

sweet. I love Ripleys, a little small for the price, but still a good place to go on a rainy day.
here's some shots I took a year or so: https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show...hreadid=118640
Did you watch the diver hop into their large reef tank? They used to do a live feeding and you could watch this diver get absolutely mobbed by the fish.

out of all the aquariums i have done
(nj state, ny state, mystic seaport-ct, baltimore, rip's in myrtle beach), my fav's had to be in when i was in honolulu, and when i was in bermuda

 

[cowfishrule]

@psoup-its an externally shelled cephalopod

 

[hopkins6]

lfs is local fish store, what is a cephalopod?

 

[hopkins6]

yah they had a diver in the big fish tank, there was fish all around him, he went on the botton and blew these ring bubble from his mouth, it was a very cool trick

 

[ty_05_f]

cephalopod- Its a Class of animal that includes octopus, squid, and cuttlefish.

 

[hopkins6]

they did have an octopus there, it was in the corner so i couldn't get a good pic. plus it was day.

man the last time i was there was about six years ago before i even thought about salt water. and the only thing i really remember is the ray touch tank, the tunnel throught the big tank and if i remember correctly in the reef i saw a 8" oscillaris clown, and a horseshoe crab the size of a football. WOW!!!!:scared:
