Georgia Aquarium

[Jon Lazar]

Spent last weekend in Atlanta to see the Georgia Aquarium and run in the Peachtree Road Race. Both were a hoot!

Been there as well! Did you do the behind the scenes tour? I did and it was well worth it. Nice pics!

Yea, its well well worth the trip down there.

We took the behind the scenes tour, and loved it. It wasn't exactly cheap but we had a knowledgeable, personable guide who didn't get bent out of shape when I strayed ahead or behind to poke around and take pictures. I felt I got my money's worth.

 

Here's a few of my pictures from the tour:

 

A whole room just for Q-tanks

 

 

Computer controller for the reef display

 

 

Sample butterfly valve

 

 

Looks like an IO group buy

 

 

Surge tank just letting go on the reef display. As someone pointed out before, you can see one of the protein skimmers in the top center of the photo.

I just bought a car the day before I went.. I took the train to SC bought the car then drove to GA, I didn't think I had the money to take the behind the scenes tour... now I'm regretting it.

Did you get to go to the dolphin show too?

 

I spent an entire half day in front of the whale shark tank.

 

Good shot of the square back. That guy is so fast it's hard to get a good pic.
