Waikiki Aquarium visit - 12 pics.


I visited the Waikiki Aquarium last month and posted 12 pics here: http://www.reefland.com/forum/showth...&threadid=8219

Check out the size of their T. gigas. Also, in the 12th. picture is the most beautiful specimen of Acanthurus japonicus that I have ever seen.

P.S. -- Oops! I just found out that you can't view Reefland threads unless you are registered, so I posted all 12 pics in this thread at Reefs.org: http://reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20221

OK, by popular request, all 12 pics are posted here in this thread. No need to go to any other board. Just scroll down. I hope you have broadband.

Hmm...I don't see the pics in the other thread link you posted either. All I saw there was the link to the reefland thread again. Did I miss something?

Here are a few selected pics I took last month on vacation. These were taken with my old Olympus 35mm camera. My sister just got a new Kodak digital camera, so maybe my next pics will be better.

Waterfall along Waikiki Beach sidewalk on way to Aquarium.

Waikiki Aquarium entrance. Here is a link to their website: http://waquarium.otted.hawaii.edu/ The website is not up to date because it does not show the new 5500-gal reeftank and it lists the weight of their largest Tridacna gigas as only 120-lbs. It weighed 167-lbs when they weighed it earlier this summer.

Outdoor reeftank with Carlson surge. This tank is much larger than it appears. It's about 16' long by 6' wide by about 3-1/2' high.

Outdoor Edge of Reef exhibit. This is their 7500-gal outdoor tank with corals and fish native to Hawaii. Talk about ease of maintenance! There is a surge of a few hundred gallons of natural seawater every 5 minutes. That's it! Nothing else. No controls on temperature, salinity, water params, or anything else for that matter. Notice their very convenient location.

5500-gal reeftank. This exhibit was just overhauled a few weeks before my visit, so it's brand new. Very beautiful!
