Construction Begins on 5,000,000G. Aquarium

Construction began on the 5 million gallon Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta this month. An artist rendering of the exterior is now available along with some specs. Not much else has been released to the public as of yet.

Georgia Aquarium

Public aquariums are awesome IMO.

that looks pretty cool

just curious, what is the biggest existing aquarium?

 

[spikekillifish]

Many consider the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago to be the world's largest indoor aquarium. I am not sure if this is based on square footage or gallons of water.

The Tennessee Aquarium is the world's largest freshwater aquarium.

wow, those are really cool. thanks for the info. so, if you were in charge, what would you put in a 5 milli-gallon (?) aquarium?

 

[bluegourami2]

dude in this you could put:

1250000 gouramis
or
2500000 guppies
or
104167 arrowannas
or
416667 oscars
or
347222 great whites
or
625000 gouramis and 1666670 tetras
or
3333333 corys
or
500000 angels,100000 danios, and 35714 loaches
or
1 male betta and 4999997 neons
or
1666670 parakeets!

the possibilities are endless

(this is all according to the 1 inch/gal rule of couse, you'd have to take in the territorial issues of each fish)

I've been to the shedd aquarium in chicago. It's amazing. If you are ever in the area, it's a must.

 

[jaws2]

i wanna go when it opens !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HanshaSuro]

Well that seems like it will be 5 million gallons total. What I'd really like to see is a 5 million gallon tank. Though, I guess I could just head over to the shore for that, eh?

 

[rocketshrimp]

yeh public aquariums are great. I've been to the monterey aquarium and the vancouver aquarium which is alot more like whales and things.

 

[blueinfinity]

lmao i think in 5 million gallons if it is planted u can have more then 1 male betta

 

[Cichlid-Man]

I've been to the South Carolina Aquariums and they are just great. (of course i live in SC.) They are on the top list that Spike gave above . But it seems like the GA one will be much better/bigger. Looking forward to it.

you'd think there would be more then one aquarium in Hawaii...

even the one we have cant hold a candle to a 5 million gallon tank. now that i think about it they have two very nice aquariums in waikiki that are seperate from the state aquarium. ones in the Galleria and it sits on a main corner of the waikiki strip, and the other is in the Pacific Beach Hotels dinning room, not sure how big they are, but if i ever get a camera, ill post some pics of them

 

[ecotank]

Hawaii is one big aquarium! Last time I was there I think I spent 2 days out of seven on land, and that's only because you have to have down time before you fly.

Never actually seen much of the island itself, spend all my time underwater there

 

[beaver8888]

im ganna build a 5millG tank couldn't cost that much? lol

Public aquariums are great, it is a lot of fun to walk around and see the different fish and get ideas on how to set up your net tank. I grew up in Chicago and always go to Shedd Aqu. when I am in town. I think it is the best but I will be going to the new one in Georgia when it opens.
