I've been there myself a few times it IS incredible! Has an intresting design. Is the top still a tropical rain forest?

I'm so angry. I went there on a school-trip last year, but that was a couple of months before I got into the Fish Keeping hobby. I enjoyed it, but realize how much more I would enjoy it now. I did get the chance to visit Birch Aquarium, at Scripps Institue in California, during the Christmas break, and I loved it. I think the best part at the Baltimore Aquarium though was going up the escalator and looking down over the huge tank, with all of the rays and sharks, and seeing them at feeding time. Never a better sight.

Thanks again!!!

Glad to share...they have a website you can buy tickets online with...I would recommend it since we spent about 30 minutes on line waiting for tickets! Its 16 bucks for an adult, kids are 9.50. Worth every penny!

Come on now, is that all they got? My tanks look alot better and I'll beat there admission costs by 50%. I'll take off another 10% for triple "A" members.
Great pictures. I was there last year and loved it. I surprised my wife by taking a picnic basket and we ate on top of the large hill overlooking the harbor. A really nice day with all the shops and sites.
Musipilot- do you ever stop in at Petswarehouse in Copiague(rt. 27)? I have gotten some really good deals there(such as juvi. emperor angel $39.) I was there yesterday and bought 200gal. bucket RS IO salt for $42. Worth checking them out.

Thanks for writing...I don't think I've ever been to Petswarehouse...but it sounds like its worth a trip! I mostly go to LFSes west of me, but I don't buy too much there, I buy mostly online. By the way, do I get a Long Island discount on your admission fee? (I'll bring beer)

Hey man...Very nice pics!!! What size would ya say the tangs are???
Hows your Tomato clown liking the FOWLR ???

 

[bigeyedfish]

Havent been up there in a while. I am actually going sunday. I am so excited to see the reef stuff since last time i was there i was like 13.

 

[musipilot]

Hey Bob...good to hear from ya! The tomato is doing great in the FOWLR...he's now chasing around the long time damsel and trigger residents. You can tell the trigger is saying "Yeah, keep it up, I'll be three times your size in a year...". The tangs were about 4" or so, great stuff in there!

 

[karvis]

its the best... i love it!!!! i live near by

Hey man great pics I love to see things like that. One thing that sucks about where I live is there is nothing like that anywhere near where I live. At least that I know about. Oh well maybe someday I will be able to see something like that.
