hi together,

the largest tank in the hole europe is in Arnheim/Nederlands (Burger's Zoo) with 8.000 m3 tank, ... the next is in Lisbon/Portugal (Oceanario) with 5.000m3 tank.

In the USA I visited Monterey/CA and Long Beach/CA, both are smaller however beautiful

What a royal pain. Well if it is that difficult to get into the states then you should take a grand tour. Visit several places on the same trip.
Sounds good to me anyway.

A quote from the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA, which has the best tropical reef exhibit I have seen. This is just one, and the best, exhibit of the aquarium.

"Tropical Pacific Gallery

The warm, 80-degree waters of Micronesia contain an astounding 2,100 islands. Palau, the westernmost section of the Micronesian islands, runs north to south, covering approximately 125 miles. Considered by many to be among the most beautiful in the world, Palau’s waters contain an incredible diversity of coral, fish, and other colorful marine life. The 16 exhibits in the Aquarium’s Tropical Pacific Gallery represent the beautiful marine life you would find off the coast of Palau.

The Tropical Reef Habitat, which can be viewed from three locations in the gallery, is the Aquarium’s largest exhibit. Holding 350,000 gallons of water, this exhibit features over a thousand colorful fish and beautiful coral, including sea turtles, zebra and blacktip reef sharks, porcupine puffers, and a large blue Napoleon or humphead wrasse.

The Tropical Pacific Gallery also features our seahorses and sea dragons. True to their descriptive names, both the leafy and weedy sea dragons have an almost surreal appearance characterized by unusual appendages that allow them to deftly camouflage themselves in seaweed. The Aquarium made husbandry history by being the first Aquarium in the world to successfully breed weedy sea dragon babies.

The Tropical Pacific Gallery also displays venomous creatures, groupers, clownfish, and the only exhibit with live coral in the Aquarium. There is much to discover in this colorful paradise, such as daily dive and feeding presentations and opportunities to learn about the many species of fish that are able to change genders and others with remarkable camouflage and defense capabilities."

The basket ball sized euphyllias and torches are amazing! About a half hour drive from me.

To keep Sasquatch in captivity, I have to abide to alot of rules.
1) Not allowed to get rid of him as he is an "Endangered Species" Just return him to the Wild Life Society.
2) Not allowed to enter any fancy dress competition as himself.
3) No howling, stomping after 9.00 pm and before 6.00 am
4) No swimming in pools as too much water will be dispersed
5) Haircut every week.
So Robert, these are few of the Don'ts and I have not gone to the Dos yet.
He is going to kill me when he gets home.
