Someone from Nano-reef got the season pass and went to the aquarium day before it actually open to the public. He got some amazing pictures. Now I really want to have a nice trip down there.

I guess I'll have to stop by Georgia one of these days! Has anyone visited the aquarium in Baltimore? I heard that it is a really nice aquarium. We should put a ranking system as to the best aquariums in the U.S. by the Manhattanreefers.

About that first pic: didn't see an aquarium just like it in one of the "Jaws" movies? And I seem to remember a shark crashing right through the glass!!! And they've got sharks in that tank, too. :bigeyes2:

they are doing some research that will benefit the hobby as well,

taken from the research section;

Bacterial Succession in the Georgia Aquarium: This project, in collaboration with the University of Georgia, will be the first complete analysis of bacterial succession in a major aquarium, and will give a better understanding of how bacteria affect water chemistry and fish health.

Veterinary Services Clinical Research: The Georgia Aquarium animal health facility conducts ground-breaking research. The facility analyzes nutrition, treatments and blood chemistry. The clinical research benefits both the exhibit animals as well as wild populations.

Coral Bleaching, Recovery and Conservation Project: This long-term monitoring project in Fiji is sponsored by the Henry Foundation and is in collaboration with the Georgia Institute of Technology. The project studies Caribbean coral genetics and live rock cultivation.

i've been there, it's a real nice aquarium, probably one of the nicest i've seen.

The Atlantis in Riverhead is also nice, but pretty small.

I think we can put the NY aquarium on the bottom of that list.
