I hear Scripps in San Dieg is nice.

Youre looking for good public aquariums, with good reef displays, right?

A few I would suggest:
The Georgia Aquarium- Atlanta, Georgia, US
The Shedd Aquarium- Chicago, IL, US
The Waikiki Aquarium- Waikiki, HI, US
L'Oceanografic- Valencia, Spain

National Aquarium in Baltimore
New York Aquarium in Brooklyn/Coney Island
Atlantis Marine World in RiverHead Long Island, NY (Just went there this weekend and their reef tank is incredible!)

ill be honest on this one bc i worked in the water feature buisness when i was 16 which was last year lol and we donated some koi to the atlanta aquarium and my dad did alot of there plumbing so they gave us all free backstage passes to see everything and i was in on the build with my father some and it is most def. the greatest aquarium i have ever seen but the reef is kinda new so i cant wait to go back in 5 years to see it all, it should be amazing!

mrblur · 05/30/2007, 11:37 PM

all of these are exibition??

EllisColes · 05/30/2007, 11:40 PM

well not really exibition, but mainly the biggest damn aquariums in the world that are stunningly amazing! put it this way, atlanta has a 2 million gallon main display which is home to 3 whales, it doesnt get better than that trust me

mrblur · 05/31/2007, 12:55 AM

what i am looking for is like exhibition. where all the manufacture of reefcrystal, TLF or any other lighting, pump brands will show their new products.

Thanks for ur answer.

Ah... you mean Trade Shows?

Only one I can think of right off the bat is the International Marine Aquarist Conference in Chicago, IL, US. Its not exclusively a trade show, but certainly a good amount of those kinds of demonstrations going on.

mrblur · 05/31/2007, 01:51 AM

Thanks that is what i mean. is there only IMAC Chicago?
I looked at the website there is also IMAC Las Vegas.
Are these two the same??

is there any other trade show??
thanks a lot.

IMAC Las Vegas is new this year; Im guessing a number of the vendors will be the same, but since this is its first time, I really cant say for sure.

multiply your estimate of the size of the Ocean Voyager tank by 3. its 6.2 million gallons.
and its home to 3 whale Sharks, not whales. but when you stand in front of a 61'x23' tall viewing window, you are absolutely correct. it doesnt get much better than that.
oh yeah and another conference with vendors and all that jazz is MACNA

EllisColes · 05/31/2007, 12:15 PM

yeah dwd your absolutely correct but the part that you walk under which is the part where we did most the work is app. 2 million gallons but the big wall room is 6 million gallon yes and sorry about the whale sharks lol that was at 2 am last night typing this! but i would love for my bedroom to be in there lol! just think though in about 5 years when all the reefs are flourished and huge its gonna look amazing
