Thanks again all!
Being my first Marine Project, I found it to be very time consuming, but all the same rewarding. Some of the animals I was seeing for the first time.
The zoo has been submitted for download, and I zipped Rednotdead's Invisible Fence with it as well; so it should be up soon.

Thanks all, and the files needed will be zipped with the download, which is the Invisible Fence.

Here is a fun exhibit I worked out finally. It took several tries, but I think it looks awesome.
I call this the Dolphin Research and Rehabilitation Center.
The first shot is an overview from the front


This next shot would not fit completely in the photo, but this is how is looks from the front entrance

From the front, there is two entrances that open into a large viewing area within the building. This shot shows the detail of the building walls


As we enter, the Dolphin can be viewed as they swim and train. The guest area is coverd, the back of the tank is open to let in the natural elements and for training purposes

Zoohio, you are very good! May I ask, what's your favorite part of building zoos, and what gives you that "stride" for building zoos that are unmatched?

Thanks everyone. The building is quite easy, and when I get a moment to work on other designs that I have been playing with, I will create a tutorial if needed.

Jaguar, my favorite part of zoo building is letting my imagination go wild. I hate being limited.
My appeal for animals and nature is my highest drive. I like art and design, and if I ever thought for one moment that I would excel in real life as an architect, I would be designing real zoo exhibits.
When building an exhibit, I want the guest view to be unlimited, and the animal exhibit to seem as natural as possible. I also use trees and plants to smooth the rough edges.

I rarely open my zoo to guests as they are very annoying while yelling and talking on their cell phones; much like real life at the zoo! I travel to many zoos, and if it is over-crowded, I will leave or find the quiet places.
I am certain when I finally someday,go to Africa and take a Safari, that someone will be carrying a cigarette, talking on the phone, kids will be screaming; and I will be hoping a lion will just eat them! ROFL
And the cool part was that I will get to see a lion in the wild!  LOL
