Hawaii's Pride and Joy! - Load warning!

[Raf]

If you have a chance to visit Oahu, make sure you visit the Waikiki Aquarium, if not just to see this tank!

This reef tank is HUGE, lit by natural sunlight and holds one of, if not THE largest clam in captivity!

Enjoy!

Raf? is that a natural ocean water tank? looks like a lot of debris in the water column? Steve

Simply spectacular. That clam is awesome.
Thanks for sharing your pics with us. I don't know if I will ever get there in person so this is a way of at least seeing some of the really cool stuff.

Remember thoes fish are mature fish ie...regals are 6-9" fish

Yes, they pump water to many of their tanks straight from the ocean, they also have surge pumps that stir the water up like crazy, hence why it looks so....er natural

Cool stuff. I was in the islands a few week ago and went to the aquarium in Maui. I'll have to check out this one next time.
