    So what are the pinkish lights you have picture of? They seem like they are on the ceiling.

    I'm not sure how big the entire building was as we didn't get to see some of the packing and filtration area, but they had 20,000 gal of water. The red light is really cool! They use it in their acclimation room. They turn the lights off and only use the red lights while they drip acclimate new arrivals to reduce stress.

    Awesome! Very clean almost "medical facility" look to their facility. For sure a olace i want to see someday. Even if i left without a fish or frag i bet i could learn a lot just from observing everything from their plumbing and equipment that they use as well as their fish and coral husbandry skills. Thanks for the photos!
