It was great!! Thank you so much for setting this up! My favorite parts were the shark feeding and the Octopus (Ole Nubbins I believe her name is). The massive skimmers were also amazing to see!

Thanks again Mike. I had a great time! Hard to say what my favorite part was, the scale of the equipment was definitely something to marvel at, but if I had to narrow down one part of the tour, it would have been the quarantine/above the shark tank area. I'll leave the pics to Sass.

Thanks Mike. It was alot of fun.
My favorite parts were petting the rays, the octopus, and the quarantine area with the shark look-down. Pics to follow shortly.

Gave us a chance to swing by House of Fins and Greenwich Aquaria. The cleanest fish stores I've ever seen!!!!

The kids loved princess the shark, and I liked the realization that what they do, is the same us reefers do - just on a massive scale. Talking about how they use ozone, skimmers, reactors, plain old Instant Ocean, water changes, water testing, etc, etc, etc. Found that very interesting. Thx. for setting this up.

How's this for a media reactor! George was used for a reference...

Ok....going to post a few times with various photos. Taken with a cell phone so not the best...

Here are 2 photos from their reef tank and a bunch of "Nubbie" the Octopus..

The rays were awesome to touch! All they wanted was food...sticking their snouts out of the water alot and splashing.

Some babies in quarantine

Looking down into shark tank from quarantine area

Hard to see, but the shark just ripped a fish off the hook..
