I don't think that it will ever find a permanent location either, unless we can get Earl Holding or Larry Miller to do like Bernie Marcus did for Atlanta and donate $250 Million to finance it.
More likely, the aquarium will stay at its current location until people are no longer willing to visit an aquarium that is housed in a derelict strip mall in Sandy. For something like this to really be succesful, it needs to be downtown with the rest of Salt Lake's tourist attractions. Unfortunately, I am now less hopeful than ever that it will actually happen.
