My local club, ORCA, had a fun day at Sea World in Orlando where we got to go behind the scenes. We got to go on tours of the quarantine area, Atlantis, and Manta. Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take pictures at the quarantine area. They had turtles, baby sharks, salt and fresh water fish. They use huge skimmers (probably 20ft tall!), sand filters, and UV sterilizers to keep their tanks clean. We didn't go on the Atlanta tour, because we wanted to watch some shows instead and we heard during lunch that it was a scaled down version of the Manta tour.
The Manta tour was really neat! They have a giant, 1,000+ gallon, reef tank, stingray pool, and sea dragon tank. Here are some pictures:
Reef tank from above. The lights were suspended by a boat lift!
