    Very cool!

    A co-worker of mine told me about an aquarium out there that's real nice. He wants to eventually move back to Georgia. Thanks for sharing the pics and vid!

    That Cuddlefish is wicked looking!

    The Georgia Aquarium is very impressive...and that pic of the cuddlefish is probably my favorite pic from the trip. But the Manta Ray is still my favorite.

    Great video!!! The fish do not seem very big, until you got the people in the frame!!! However, the whale sharks are relatively small, considering they can grow to be 40 feet in length!!! Very impressive creatures nonetheless!!!:worthy:

    If I remember correctly the biggest whale shark they have is about 26' right now, but they did say there is enough room in the tank for it to grow to full size.



    That room is my favorite. :love: The viewing window is 23 feet tall by 61 feet wide and 2 feet thick.
