Took a trip down to Newport Beach this weekend. Stopped by the Aquarium. It was ok. The shark tank was the neatest thing. It was dark and the glass was really thick so it was difficult to get decent pictures, but I thought I would share what I have.
I didn't have time to write down any of the names of the fish. I was getting yelled at enough for taking so many pictures.
The "tank" is this giant tube you walk through. If was a pretty cool set up.
She was pretty patient with all my picture taking. I spent a good hour in just the shark tube.

Whew, that's it. Thanks for looking.
Edit: Wow I uploaded all the photos to an album on here and it really drained the quality. I had to chop them down to about 15% just to upload them but now I see they are pretty blurry and grainy. Sorry!
Newport is one of my top 5 vacations places. If we could go ince a year, we would but we like to see other places. Never been dissappointed on an Oregon coast vacation, but Newport is the best place IMO.
Great shots! Wow. Now I know if I ever get up that way, that is a great vacation spot. Love the beach shots. The fish you asked about was some type of moray eel. We have those at the aquarium here in Albuquerque.
Hi, Welcome to my first reef! Attached you'll see (hopefully) pictures of where I'm at so far. The clearer water picture is about 3 days after I put water and sand in. 80 lbs of Ocean Direct Caribean Live sand and about 10 lbs of live rock. The more cloudy picture is after I raked the sand...

So to start it's day 4 since I got my 2 swordtails and my leopard Cory. My...
Hello everyone.
After almost a year hiatus, I am back fishkeeping! Last year CT had some wicked power outages and I lost all of a 150 gallon reef tank :cry: Last week I took a vacation from work and set up a twenty long freshwater tank for my son with some Platys and Cories and I got an itch...
I decided to join as I have started a new (bigger) tank than the previous one and I need all the help I can get for future headaches and problems.
I would like to ask if anyone is interested about the tank history, to please read the whole thread here as I am gonna sit forever to copy and...
Just wanted to share the picture taken a couple days ago. I love seeing the progression of the tank. I started this tank in February, and have kept adding small things (corals, fish, etc) Many of my corals have really taken off from where they were when I bought them as small frags :-D
