Well A previous poster posted this message and after submitting a request to be on the List as "George Clooney" from GCloon_2008@gmail.com I apparently got a lot of e-mail from them. Mostly about arriving by boat and things of that nature.

However I had some Burning Questions.... What are yours?



1. How big is their protein skimmer?
2. For 15K a Person Can I collect my own live rock and corals?
3. Refugium?
4. What are they dosing?
5. What do they plan to do about Hair Algae?

:)

I wonder how big their Mag Float Is?

[jawfish1]

can you imagine being the one to clean all those windows.... inside and out!

[asonitez]

if the windows are made of acrylic and.... acrylic likes to attract coraline.. then ummm .... ya aren't those windows gonan be covered up in a few weeks?

[asonitez]

*btw what are they using for water movement? i don't know any wavemakers or tunze or seio's that big..

surely my MaxiJet Mod Sureflow 1600 won't work.

[asonitez]

DSB? Yes or No?

[The_Browns]

[asonitez]

when is their next frag swap?

[kar93]

Isn't it under the sea?

[thor32766]

yes its in a lagoon

[seapug]

You can get a mag float to clean your windows while you're there, but it costs $7,000 extra.

I thought this looked awesome when I first saw it, but for $30,000 I could build a fish tank with a bubble in middle of the bottom I could sit in every day.

Im going thats where im spending my honeymoon now how to save on my wedding

[reefkoi]

I think it would be an awesome place to stay. I thought about the window cleaning part as well, seems like they'd have to have divers in their daily to clean it. Wouldn't that be a shock, you are in the room ahem, cough... doing the ole lady when a diver swims up to clean the glass LOL

what kink of humans can you put together?

[Michael R]

Wow, it actually looks like it sucks. The $15 000 goes towards a seven-day trip, yes, but that's only 2 nights underwater and 4 nights "in a luxury beach or over-water villa".

What a rip off, I'm sorry.

[NanoGurl]

Wow! I can finally have all ten tangs that I want!

[chrismunn]

i wonder how the shade created by this thing is going to affect the natural life? what about pollution. surley that thing cant be 100% toxin free?
i wonder if environmentally friendly design was in thier plans? and if so, who they consulted with on matters of environmental impact?
that place seems soooo cool, i admit. but nothing that cool comes without some adverse cost, does it? i sound like a tree hugger, but honestly, i just wish i could afford a month under the sea! ;)

[seapug]

The problem isn't going to be with the hotel damaging the reef, it's going to be with the reef damaging the hotel. They will never be able to keep the windows clean. They obviously didn't consult with a marine biologist before they built that place.

[reefkoi]

I don't think it has been built yet, I think all they have is artist renderings right?

[asonitez]

Lol keeping the windows Clean.... what about safety from storms and stuff. I think each pod can be sealed and removed from the structure without must issue. Should something go wrong I think the pods can float as well.

[scrmbld33]

looks to expensive to me
