    So after being off the site for awhile, I've finally had some free time. My gf and I just got back from Shedd's Aquarium in Chicago and I have tons of pics. This was my first time then in about 12 years and it's changed a lot. I was very surprised at their saltwater tanks, especially the amount of healthy looking corals in them. We opted for the extra behind the scenes tour which was well worth it. The only downside was they didn't allow photos on the tour. But we did get to see all of the plumbing and a massive 6-7 foot tall skimmer. We also saw one of their aquatic shows and toured the brand new Jellies exhibit. Well without more talking, I'll just let the pics speak for themselves.

    Awesome shots! This looks like it would be a lot of fun to go to. I wonder why they don't allow photos to be taken on tour? So nobody can steal their ideas? Lol.

    I see some good avatars there as well. The jellies are my favorite.
