180 Gallon Florida Coral Reef Aquarium Build at the Ocean Discovery Visitors Center

[Brandon McHenry]

Just came upon your thread. My wife and I visited your facility early January. What a great place. We were there for hours. Loved the tank which hits you as soon as you walk in the door. Really enjoyed following the build from day 1 on this thread. You really did an awesome job!! Keep up the great work!!

Wow that’s so awesome! I’m glad you found this thread! I haven’t known anyone from R2R who has seen the tank in person so this is really cool! I’m glad you enjoyed the tank and the Visitors Center. We try our best to teach people about important ecosystems and the research that our scientists conduct and for me it’s really exciting to share that through my hobby. I appreciate the compliments and I hope you follow along with the thread in the future!

I took a 5 minute time lapse of the tank and it’s distilled down to 30 sec! Man do these fish move

Thanks! Luckily they are plugging along just fine. We are all working remotely with the exception of tank maintenance so all safe and healthy!

I can’t even believe that is tank is almost two years old! It seems like yesterday it was nothing more than a crazy idea. I am very proud of where this tank has gone and I think it is so cool how it has grown. Hope you all enjoy the pictures!
