Here is the link to the zoos home page showing and describing the reef display. They took the pics and I wrote the text.

This is a very nice presentation. The pictures are beautiful and the explanation is wonderful. Ross Park Zoo is lucky to have such a dedicated group. While it sounds corny, I must say that the level of commitment to improving our oceans is one of the things that I love about the people contributing to this website.

Great Job!

Great Job Jerry. Can't wait to get down to the zoo to check out all the hard work you guys put into setting up the tank.

Very nice job guys, I do wish I had the opportunity to be involved, but distance and work were some limiting factors. I think all of you did a fantastic job from start to present, look forward to a visit.

great job, Jer.
It was very nice of the zoo to include that page on their website.
I can't help but feel the SP Zoo in Rochester did little to promote the reef aquarium URS members set up there. Recognition and thanks go a long ways IMO. Once again, great job to everyone that contributed to the Ross Park Zoos reef aquarium display.

Thanx again to all for their ntremendous donations of time, expertise, work, and livestock. The kudos should not go to me since this was really a team effort.
The zoo really is doing a commendable job of promoting this project. In fact a press release will be going out Monday so watch the papers. I guess one advantage of a small zoo is that since they have little, they are very appreciative and supportive of any contribution.

Also a big thanks to St. james for donating his beautiful Blonde Naso. He has quickly become my fave fish of all time. Visitors at the zoo get a huge kick out of watching me feed him Nori by hand. He is no doubt the star of the tank. He deserves a name. Any suggestions?

maybe during the grand opening we can have name the fish contest. Visitors can write names on a piece of paper and drop it in a box. The STRS members will then review the names and pick a winner.

What do you guys think?

Dave VG · #13 09/30/2007, 02:42 PM

That sounds neat Paul.

Capt_Cully · #14 10/04/2007, 12:52 PM

Very cool

I vote for Renfield

STressed DAmsel: is that a Dracula reference?

James: Thats a cool name. Any idea of the sex?

I left word with the zoo to see if they could offer up a small prize (e.g., T-shirt etc) to the winner of the name competition.
