That's an awesome habitat structure! I'll have to try and get a good picture of our 55gal thrown up. Nowhere near that though, kudos to your engineering marvel!

Saltwater is easy, but expensive to start. I did mine in stages to minimize the impact on the ol wallet. Once it was set up, I never had to clean it, just add water as needed.
Here is a couple of wild pics we had for a while.
Here is a goose that we hatched from an egg. She thought my son was her momma. Everywhere he would go, she would follow. When she got older, he would run and she would run and fly next to him.
Here is a squirrel we raised from about a week old.

Wow ... thanks for the pics ... I don't have any of them now but my dad was a vet and so the game warden would bring us all kinds of hurt critters ... we had geese, beaver, skunks, squirrels, ducks, possums, foxes, hawks, raccoons ... gosh, you name it ... most of them wound up hanging around our house after daddy turned them back out on his acreage.
There was one red-tailed hawk who would come down and land on his shoulder when he was walking across the back of the lot on his way to work (his business and his house were on the same acreage). It hung around for several years.
and that was on top of the dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, chickens, quail and pheasant that we already had ...
I miss living in the country ...
We hope to move to the country some day. When we had room, we took all kinds of animals. I just don't have pics of most. We don't have the room at our house now.
I don't know if you ever go to Saint Louis, but if you do and you like the birds of prey, let me know. I can get you a killer vip tour of the World Bird Sanctuary.
I may have to look into that. Always wanted to do it but when I was into aquariums, 60's, 70's and early 80's saltwater was a pure t pain to keep right.
PH within plus or minus .1 of 7, temps that couldn't vary by a 1/2 degree or more, diatomacious earth, all kinds of stuff that just made it not worth the effort.
Is there a salt water aquarium book for dummies available?
I'm too busy and a wussy,I would never get things just right. I have a hard time maintaining temps and humidities in my critter room for my reptiles and arachnids. I was planning to have a nice big system setup at my house by one of the pros who sets the systems up and does the maintenance for you.
I'll see if I can find a pic of my old shark. It was pre digital camera days.
If you ever get the chance to meet this guy you understand that there is nothing traditional about him. His names Boomer
