hello all i live in cincinnati and there is an aquarium near us (the newport aquariuum) its a pretty cool place (not the best but far from the worst) anyhoo. I GET A BEHIND THE SCEANS TOUR TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just thought id share.
ps i am so interested in how they filter their water!!!
 
I live about an hour from the Newport Aquarium, and thought it was pretty cool too. I also was interested in the filtration systems they have, especally on the huge shark tank!!!!!!! I'd love to see that skimmer:eek: :eek: :eek:

well im back and i must say that.... im not that impressed. they use a reverse plenum (sp?) and ozone.... thats it no skimmers and no wet/dry on any of the big tanks. the ozone room was cool though and i need to get the pics developed to post them (my didgital is acting up not sure whats wrong)
the other thing i noticed was that they have a 1000g reef and it is FILLED with aptasia. i mean brimming. it also had diatom blooms in it. lastly i asked whay kind of water they use and the guy told me that they use tap water and just declorinate it. thats all well and good but they are on the newport water system witch is aparently diff from the cincinnati system and it has silicates and copper.
dont get me wrong it WAS awsome and i got to see a lot of cool stuff but i was just a little bummed about the water quality
