rainbow reef at Strong Museum

We visited the Strong museum today, for the first time since the aquarium was put in.



All the tangs were munching an a bunch of lettuce leaves that were thrown in the tank.
It looks like they were setting up more tanks, a 125 and a 180. they were empty with a "coming soon" sign.

We had a great time there at the museum and concluded it with a dinner a the Dinosaur BBQ place.


btw: only the 3 boys on the left are ours.

great pic!

I've tried to get one similar to that, but none have ever been that good. (There's always too many people in front of the aquarium and kids won't hold still.)
Sounds like a you had a memorable time!

We went recently too, and I was pretty impressed with the quality of the display. They had some typically more difficult stuff in there that was doing well; it also seemed to be well lit.

My only criticism on the tank is that it looked like it could use much more flow. The fish all looked like they were loving their space though! What is the lighting over the tank?
