Reef HQ Aquarium

Went to the Reef HQ aquarium, which is in downtown Townsville, this morning with Steph and Jackie. It is the worlds largest indoor coral reef system! I was SO excited to go! we got a private tour of the turtle hospital because we told the people working there that we work at MARC back in the states, which also does marine animal rehabilitation, and got to see the hospital. Where they care for the turtles that come in sick. it was an amazing experience! We also were there for the daily feed and watched as the caretakers feed the fire fish, stone fish and a deadly sea snake, nautilus, clown fish, and hippo tangs! they even have a predator tank with huge reef sharks and groupers! It was amazing and I want to work there!!! After we walked all around down town Townsville.
