Re: Who has a salt water aquarium?
I'd love to have one, but it would be a guilty pleasure: it just seems wrong to take poor little Nemo and his friends from the big ocean and put him in a little tank with some coral that some Indonesian got paid 10 cents to pry off the ocean floor - killing the ecosystem and the livelihood of fishermen not to speak of the beauty of a dive site. Nope, don't like it. Would rather see those pretty fish (most of them get harvested on the Del-Ray reef in Florida, one of the best places to dive in the US) where they live, not at the mercy of my knack for killing them. Just like shipwrecks, they aren't as nice if they aren't seen in their original "home". Take the ugly wreck of the Lottie Cooper in Sheboygan at the marina- i'd rather see it underwater than rotting on shore:



/ can't stand to walk through Shedd Aquarium anymore either
