View the largest tank at Birch Aquarium at Scripps. You must have realplayer installed. This is pretty cool.
Tune in to KelpCam Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:30 pm PST and Sundays at 10:30 am to watch our divers feed the fish and answer audience questions. You won't want to miss it!

And here is the link to all the fish kept in the tank. You need flash installed for this.

Well I learned a few things today...

The tank is 10" thick acrylic...

They have a 750lb sea bass that is no where near the size it could eventually be...

They have 30 differenct species of fish...

The water flows in and our at 1000g per minute contiuously from the ocean...

It was pretty cool to listen to the guy talk, you should check it out sometime when they feed.
