Pics from our trip to the Steinhart

We'll start with some pics of the Jellyfish propogation area....

Here are some jellies in their display tanks, They also had these in the prop area but the tank was too dirty for a good shot......

Man... super cool! Wish I could've made it!

Though it was all probably awesome, I would have especially loved to see the jellyfish propagation system "in action."

Thanks for sharing the pics for those of who couldn't make it!

How big are those pvc pipes?

 

[Danny Luu]

The clams they have are soooooooooooooooooooooo nice!

 

[treesmoker]

Justin- the pipes varied in size from 2-5fft in diameter.

Danny- The largest of the clams in the lagoon was the T.Crocea in the bottom left of the first pic and the upper right of the second pic wasd bigger than my 75g AGA tank. Pretty un-real! My favorite was the T.Maxima right next to it, dark blue w/ a bright green ring.

I'm going to be in the vicinity next week for my son's wedding and I think I'll have a free day to attend the Steinhart. Any tips to get the most out of the visit?

 

[treesmoker]

Well, having a buddy who runs the filtration systems is always a plus Thats the only reason we got the "backstage tour". Otherwise try to go on a weekday when there are far less people. You'll get around easier and wont have to wade through masses of young children like on the weekends.
