The last time I was there about 5 years ago, the displays are so-so.. the Shark Lagoon just opened and some areas are still under construction. Now I HIGHLY recommend you guys go there if you have a spare time. Maybe we can all meet up one Saturday and go there as a group? That would be AWESOME.

you could call it that. They get a lot of the corals that are supposed to be heading to stores but don't have proper CITES permits. I've been pretty impressed with Long Beach Aquarium, their big coral tank rocks now. Went to Monterey when they had the great white. Besides her and the sea dragon exhibit I was pretty disappointed in it. I think Shedd in Chicago is the best i've been to so far.

We were there a few months ago for our behind the scenes tour and the M.I.s were in the lagoon still. I've not known a time where I didnt see them out there... been a member for a couple of years. Hope they are doing ok.

BTW: Local clubs can easily sign up for a behind the scenes tour with a marine biologist. I highly recommend it! We will be doing it again this year.

This is the lighting rack the main light hang from: My daughter looking in: And on top of the large tank: If I remember, for flow they had two RIO HyperFlow pumps in each top corner, and the main return pumps are plumbed through jacuzzi jets throughout the reef rock work.

I was at the MBAQ a couple of months ago, and I could have SWORN they still had the great white... The baby, right? About 10 feet long?
??? Also, isn't the Chicago one the biggest in the US? I thought I saw something about that build in Coral magazine, but my memory's a bit fuzzy on that... Quote:

I don't think the shark has been there for awhile unless they have a new one. They released it after it got to about six feet cause it had a taste for other sharks in the exhibit. Not sure it Shedd is one of the biggest but i wouldn't doubt it. Definitely bigger than MB and LB.

Do they still have that bonnethead/hammerhead shark in the petting lagoon? I was there on New Year's eve and there was a sign that said do not touch the bonnethead shark. Like why would they put that in the petting lagoon?? Did you hit up the Mai Tai Bar afterwards?

10,000 watts of halide lighting above the SPS tank at AOTP. It looks just like the pics above. They do have actinics as well. I think the halides are 10k.

Thanks for the pics Ken. The pic where people are looking down on the "huge tank" is a nice pic. I've always wondered what it looked like behind the scenes..... That tank is HUGE!.

And it's only one corner of it!
I have more if I can find them of the top of the big tank, and the bridge area (the tube you walk through inside).
