austin aquarium

wow, so unprofessional with the lack of care into their livestock. If it was me opening these aquariums up, yes I would want to make a profit, but not at the cost of the livestock, and then simply refusing any ideas of marine safety from a guy who has an education in that field.

What a shame, and I hope they find him guilty and then go after his brother as well.

If it is worth seeing.........


i might check it out........


we've all made mistakes at one point in our lives..

I understand we have all made mistakes but you would think they would have figured things out all ready. Its not like they made one mistake then fixed it. I mean come on they own 2 aquariums already and are still getting into trouble trying to build the third one. Also, I didnt post this in hopes of keeping people from visiting. Just wanted to share.

Well they apparently are doing something right if the city of austin is still allowing them to open up.....

[polarbear]

That’s not saying much.....

I’m not sure by what I have read that they are allowing them to open up still. They will be doing some follow up investigating to see if they get the right permits in place. Just because the brothers say they are still on track to open up doesn’t mean they will.

Ahh, okay... I didnt bother reading the articles but i know who your speaking of. There was a thread awhile back.

I seriously doubt austin would let them open if they find any evidence, and if they dont would you go?....

[polarbear]

Well probably not seeing that the problems are with the brothers not knowing what they are doing as you can see from the other articles. Just because they get the right permits and get educated people working at the Austin aquarium doesn’t mean they won’t have the same problems as their other aquariums. They failed to listen to experts before which caused problems for them. They are bound to do it again.

Cutting Corals, if done responsible though is a good thing. The more people who frag out of their tanks, even if it is for profit, the better it is on our delicate ecosystem in the Ocean.
