Vacation pics

[StirCrazy]

well since there is a rash of vacation pics lately I figured I would add mine. Since mine are fish related I get to post them here though :mrgreen:

here is a shot of the Urchins in there natural habitat.

the rest of the pics are from the Waikiki aquarium, while very small (almost to the point of being a rip off) it did have some very nice tanks but only took me less than an hour to go through. one of the better things was its out door pond, I spent 1/2 an hour looking at this alone, so 1/2 an hour to see the rest :rolleyes:

the indoor reefs (may be more than on pic of a specific tank)

Wouldn't it be cool to have a saltwater pond like that in our backyards over here? .. sigh.

We probably could, but without anything in it except some rocks and water. :razz: At least salt water takes longer to freeze. :biggrin: :lol:

Very nice pictures Steve :cool: Is it Waikik's aquarium that hosts one of the worlds largest captive clams ? Thought I read that in a magazine not to long ago. Really neet to see an aquarium being able to thrive with natural sunlight, and those seadragons ...... :biggrin:

Nice pics Steve. The anemone tank looks the same as in 96 when I was there. :biggrin:

The tanks look so clean :exclaim: Now I have to clean my tank and get a bigger one. Thanks Steve.

Great photos

OK if you look in this pic behind the silhouette of the girl in the middle you will see the biggest clam they have.. it is frigging huge, the two in the picture Quinn reposted are only about 2 foot across, small babies compared to this one.

Flatlander, that anemone is also in that picture just to the right to give you a prospective on its size, has it gotten any bigger?

I remember Delbeek showing us pics of them moving that clam. :eek: It was like 160lbs or something.

Great pics Steve. :cool:
