Behind the Scenes Tour at Aquarium of the Pacific.

[Wetdreads]

Our buddy works at the aquarium in Long Beach and took us upstairs to see the shark tank and different systems. It was pretty cool, we got to talk to the divers and see some bigass skimmers.

Shark tank deck

Divers going in to feed.

Skimmer was 2 Tmoney's tall.

Top of the big reef tank. The halide system was insane.

Hammer wall in the bottom of the 10' tank we were on top looking at.

Coolest seahorse.

Nice! I'd like to join in on the next behind the scenes tour!

Yep iemas does it but its limited to only about 18 if I recall.

I think the tour is worth it. Took the wife and kid and they both enjoyed it. It also gave my wife a little more appreciation for my passion of keeping a reef.

I so need to convince my wife to get the annual passes to that place. those are some crazy looking space seahorses
