"over The Top" Fish Tanks

[sb_onefish]

at Rainforest Cafe, Animal Kingdom, Disneyworld.

They had saltwater aquariums in their gift shop, connected with big clear pipes and the fish could (and did!) swim through them from one to the other. Some of the runs were 50 feet long at least. Some down at eye level, some across the ceiling, and some that were like big pillars. Reminded me of the "habitrail" tubular setups for hamsters, but for fish and on a big, bodacious scale. It was amazing!

2 purposes for this post. 1) let's hear about the coolest aquarium you've seen, and 2) get some pictures posted of member's tanks. Even if we don't have the money, not to mention staff, to set up and care for something like that, I'll bet there are some creative and "way cool" setups out there on a smaller scale. Let's see!

Yeah ive seen the Rainforest Cafe in Florida and france and both have huuuuge ones.
The French one just outside Disney land had a very similar one but it ran through the entrance to the restaurant.

That Californian desk one is awesome aswell

Oooo, I've seen that one at Disney world and it's pretty sweet. Disney also has a restaurant called the Coral Reef restaurant, which is surrounded by massive coral reef aquarium, so it's supposed to feel like you're dining underwater. And the food is good.
On that link of the other cool aquariums, I hope the aquarium that's built into the bar doesn't have fish in it, it seems really traumatizing to have people always putting their hands on the bar and hitting it with glasses and stuff, plus it doesn't look like there's anywhere for the fish to hide.

I went to the one in France this March just gone, and it was awesome - I was glued to the fish tanks!
