WOW....It only took me about a week to get through this entire thing but this thread is absolutely incredible. It's hard to make Sam's and SOS's home tank look small, but Matt did so with a vengence. Truly blown away by that set up....

The lima's are all 12"+. They were about 4" when we got them in. They grew so quickly.

The frequently qouted 12"-18" will surely fall in that massive tank. I've seen one at 22" on here, and I am sure your's will break that mark. I've seen pics of them over 28" in the wild.

I didn't think Limas got more than 18" in the wild. That seems like a stretch to me...Literally and figuratively...

What happened Matt? New job opportunity?

You could say I wanted different things than management wanted. I am in it for the animals and wanted to focus more attention to making the displays look better, improve animal condition, expand the educational aspect (with correct facts), start into research and more extensive training opertunities for the staff. I got sick of empty promises - same as the Curator prior to me.

Sorry to hear that, next thing I will hear is you will be in Texas with Tony!! Just kidding, good luck.

Yeah Dave, Tony and I still communicate back and forth ALOT. I've been down a couple of times. We'll see what happens. Where ever I end up, I'll be with sharks and a great South American display for sure.

It is very tempting to relay my feelings of the new Curator and his abilities. However, I wouldn't be able to present it in a professionl manner. The facility and it's condition will speak for itself over the next few months.
Pray for the animals.
