Saltwater tanks around Central Ohio?

When I tell people I've recently gotten into saltwater aquaria (after having been out of the hobby for 20 years), they almost invariably will say, "Oh, those are so cool! Didn't there used to be a big saltwater fish tank at the airport?" I only vaguely remember that tank, and don't really recall anything about it, whether it was FO or reef, whether it was well kept, etc. Something about it must have been impressive, anyway, because lots of people I've talked with have mentioned it.

So just for fun, I thought I'd see if people know of what large saltwater tanks there are around the area (besides LFSes and the zoo, of course), either in public places or in businesses.

There were a few at Children's Hospital that had large bat fish in them. They were almost two feet tall! Other than that..I can't think of anymore.

The tank at the airport was an AA tank. They took care of it when I worked there some 9-10 years ago. It was a like a 125 or 180 full of rock, calurpa, and clowns. And I mean full of clowns, probably 75 - 100, kind of like the end tank at the store that now houses the queen angel. That DAS tank used to have probably 150 clowns in it. If you put your finger in it it became a ball of orange, too bad they all died pecause of a sea-apple!

There is a nice reef at Aquatic adventures which is a dive shop on cemetery rd in Hilliard. It has to be every bit of 300gallons.

There is a large tank at OSU's James Cancer hospital. I think it's about 10-12 ft long and about 3 ft high and looks only about 18 inches deep. AA takes care of it as I was there when they were servicing it and was asking the guy about it, but he was somewhat of a jerk, no not somewhat, he was a jerk. It's a fish only setup but pretty nice.

I've heard Metro Lexus has a large tank. I hope to check it out soon. The wife is harping on me big time for a new Hybrid SUV.
