The Georgia Aquarium (PICS)

If any of you have been wondering what the Georgia Aquarium is like, I have some pics of it. I have a yearly pass to the Georgia Aquarium, and went for the first time about 2 weeks ago. It's the largest aquarium in the world at this point in time.
You can see my super blury(lighting was a pain) aquarium pictures here.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Everything underwater is my forte, so I should be able to answer questions.
My super critical "fish guy" opinion about the Georgia Aquarium is that I've seen better. I've been into all aquatic life for 8+ years.
A lot of their fish were sick, or their tanks were SUPER overcrowded. Aside from that, the day that I went (a Thursday at 1pm) was SUPER crowded with kids. I think if the Geogria Aquarium had an 18 and up day, I might enjoy it more. Damn kids were nothing but a nuisance when I went there. The engineering of the place was crap. The halways were way to narrow. Even if you didn't want to see a particular exhibit, you had to wait 5+ minutes just to get by.
As far as photography goes, you see the results in my picutes. Most pictures featured in my gallery took at least 5 minutes of fighting crowds.
I am aware that the aquarium just opened(about December) and they might be working out some kinks in set-ups and crowd control. I just hope things get better. As fas I am concerned, the Tennessee Aquarium beats the Georgia Aquarium so far. Hopefuly things get better soon.

Nice pics.. I like aquariums also. I don't keep any fish at home though. That aquarium looks nice. A good variety it seems.
