Sorry to hear this :sad:

Ironically, I got to the bottom of one of four IO pails I purchased from Reefwerks a few months ago and found a t-shirt in a plastic bag. On the front of the shirt, it says, "The World's Largest Gerogia Aquarium uses Instant Ocean The World's Best". On the back is a pic of two sharks and the caption reads, "Ralph and Norton" swim in to too!" :neutral:

That's sad :cry: But....a 6.5 million gallon aquarium? I could get into that :)

Sad news, I wonder if they will ever know the cause. Maybe they should try and keep fish under 20ft!!!

Aw that's so sad. :( I see according to that article you posted they have 3 others. I thought it was only the one. Hopefully the others continue to be OK.

I'm hoping to go down and visit this aquarium later this spring. It really sounds like a fabulous facility. Bummer they've had some sad news these last few weeks.

Tony--

Atlanta's a great city--lived nearby for five years. Absolutely beautiful in the springtime! If you've already visited, I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know!

You can catch a Braves game while you're there--but make sure not to cheer for the visiting team. I made that mistake once and had to make an early departure from the stadium for fear of my life :mrgreen:
