Aquarium of the Pacific Pics!!!!

I'm back from the aquarium in Long Beach, Ca, and after a day of rest I've downloaded pics from the camera. Unfortunately there are so many pics, that I'll need you all to decide what goes up first, as I have a feeling this thread is goning to take a while. I still have to crop/resize most pics and upload to photobucket. Let me know what you want to see first.

Behind the scenes!! It is amazing what goes into our small tanks we have, let alone there entire set up, simply mind boggling!!! BTW, what are you waiting on?!?! Count yourself lucky so far, Luna usually gets on early!!

 

Here's some cool Jellyfish. The smaller, iridescent ones looked like they had Christmas lights constantly changing all different colors. Sorry about the flash on some of these.

 

Alright Horton. Let me get the Octopus up here first. We'll get that one out of the way first since there are so many good reef ones. And, yes, that is a Mr. Potato Head toy in the octopus tank. I don't know so don't ask.

 

I bet that they put Mr potato in there for the octi to play with.

I read an article that if they don't have something to do with thier time they spend all of it trying to get out of the tank.

They might use it to put food inside for him to get it out or something.

 

Here come the reef pics, oh boy this taking longer than I thought.
So here they are in no particular order.





Here, there were two circular tanks next to each other. Each tank had a beautiful wrasse in it.
The wrasses were both up where the tanks touch, checking each other out.

 

Still more reef pics to come.
