I saw that tank at Atlantis Marine World. It was like my heaven and mecca. Gotta be there to see it to appreciate the size of it.

Jeremy Blaze · 02/04/2009, 07:32 AM

Looks like it is growing in real well!

sigster500 · 02/04/2009, 08:38 AM

Wow - How on earth did you get in that tank without breaking the corals!!!

Beaun · 02/04/2009, 12:41 PM

AMW is one of the best aquaiums you can see. Living close by is a privalege. Seeing a "school" of Vlamingii's is really cool to see. easily the benchmark to set all other aquariums by. Joe and the biologists there do an amazing job keeping the public infomed and intrigued.

Yup, Joe's reef at Atlantis has to be considered one of, if not the greatest reef tanks in the entire world!! I have seen it firsthand on several occasions and I can literally sit there for hours just gazing at this living piece of art! Mind boggling indeed! Also, it's really cool to listen to the comments made by kids and even adults who have never seen a reef display up that close before, I wonder how many future reef hobbyist are born just from viewing that reef at Atlantis for the very first time??

I can't take credit for those peices. I just took the pictures. The corals were grown by a very talented reefer here in upstate NY. They now call A Reef Creation in Buffalo home.

Those were in Keith's tank?
