Craig's post inspired me to get off of my butt (or at least move it in front of the computer) and post my pics as well.
This is ORA's holding area and shipping line, note the five giant skimmers along the back wall.
The skimmers are all plumbed to be "self cleaning". The wooden covers in the floor hide more of the filtration system.
Next door is the fish hatchery.
Giant cylinders of phytoplankton (and rotifers?) to feed all of the hungry mouths.
One of the newly hatched clowns, about four days old. It can not be more than 4-5 millimeters long.
After growing to an appropriate size the fry are moved to the grow-out tanks.
These photos were taken in just three of ORA's dozen plus buildings. The entire operation is amazing.
Thanks to all who helped put this trip together.
