180 Gallon Florida Coral Reef Aquarium Build at the Ocean Discovery Visitors Center

[Mr.Asbury]

Thanks for sharing this - It will be nice to see a display of the research that is taking place. Best of luck with your research - I had an opportunity to go diving a few years ago in the Florida Keys, and it was breathtaking. Hopefully you guys can help to preserve that!

I’m glad you enjoyed the post! We have some amazing reefs here in Florida and our research certainly works towards preserving them!

I am on the east coast of Florida, was thinking you were on the west coast for some reason.

I hope you guys have some good glass cleaner because there are going to be a lot of face and hand prints all over that thing! Not to mention the kids too!

Lol I don’t even want to think about how many times I’ll need to wipe the glass down. Maybe I’ll just rope it off

You were right Brandon. Had to be the same place we visited. We were staying in Sebastian doing some snook fishing it was bad weather one day so we visited thought int was in Sebastian .
Also Iv'e seen on the news how terrible the algae is this summer. Is it really bad where You are? we get a little here on the St John's river. Haven't seen any on the beach our inlets.

Where I am at in Vero/Ft. Pierce we don’t see the green algae that you see on the news, that’s all in St. Lucie area. Our area has a slight brown color from brown phytoplankton but nowhere near as bad as I’ve seen in other areas.
