My wife said that there is a show on tonight at 7 eastern time for us on the travel channel about the worlds largest aquarium.

Thank... I'm watching it now...

 

[reefkeeps]

[egdevilboy]

Just tuned in.

I like the oral B tooth brush for the wales! Did you see the filter room?

 

[egdevilboy]

nope.

i missed 90% of it.

Did they say the largest was in spain? what about atlanta, GA?

 

[goulding.c]

it was as big as an airplane hanger.

 

[MDboyz]

one thing I dont like is fake corals...

 

[Paulairduck]

i wish I would have been able to see that show.

anybody got a name or title, so I can get a copy

 

[goulding.c]

The place was in spain I beleave. I'm sure a search would bring it up. I was surprised all the corals were fake. You would think they would have to have a reef in there somewhere.

i saw it last night pretty impressive!

Largest in the world is the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.

The show was produced before the ATL aquarium was opened. BTW, the ATL has a HUGE reef exhibit with real corals. Its Awsome. A device actually simulates the surf .

Bigger than my 150g? Bah.... Impossible!

I watched it last night. Good show. I'm really surprised they didn't use any real coral in any of the tanks too.

Now they need a show about the Atlanta aquarium in HD.

I agree somene on here had pics of atlanta's it looks awsome. I want to take a trip to see it.

Most of the corals in the reef exhibit are artificial while they are waiting for the smaller colonies to grow up.

I wonder where they dig out that much real reef?

 

[goulding.c]

All the auariums I have been to have artificial concrete rock forms that have corals placed on them. I don't think they excavate that much live rock

I read that Atlanta placed several tons of dead rock out near fiji for a couple of years and then "harvested" the rock that was put out.
