Seattle Aquarium Society, Charity of the Day

Filed under: Charity, Charity of the Day

The Seattle Aquarium Society is about not only supporting the Seattle Aquarium but also educating people about and preserving the Puget Sound and other marine habitats. Money donated goes towards researching marine species like the six gill shark and the giant Pacific Octopus, training "Beach Naturalists" who volunteer to teach beach visitors how to enjoy themselves without hurting the environment, or even simply helps feed the otters. High level memberships of $300-$5000/year get you additional goodies like behind-the-scenes tours and invites to special wine tastings, Presidential dinners, and the Splash! Reception that happens each year.

Forget the Goldfish Bowl, Get an Aquarium That's a Work of Art

I've always loved aquariums, and although small simple versions are fairly commonplace, lush big ones are usually only found in zoos and some business lobbies. But the days of plain goldfish bowls with algae bloom in your home are long gone -- these days you can indulge your love of having nature indoors with an aquarium that looks lush, beautiful, and professional, not stagnant or scummy. The experts at Aqua Forest can help you create a personalized tank that can be anything from thick with greenery to nothing but an artistic arrangement of rocks and stones. And in their tanks the fish serve more as an accent to a work of art than they do the main attraction. Beautiful.

Living Color Aquariums

As a fan of aquatic life, I simply love going to aquariums. Atlanta is reveling in its new showplace, the Georgia Aquarium and I thought it would be nice to bring some of that animal life and beauty into my own home. Living Color Enterprises constructs beautiful habitats for private homes and business across the country. The sky is the limit when building large aquariums. Most take between 8-16 weeks to fabricate and can be filled with whatever life you like. Mind you, some creatures don't like to live together, but If you want a tank of piranhas, I'm sure it can be arranged. Watching all of the activity in a large salt water aquarium has a very relaxing effect and would make a great addition to any house.
