You have been hired by the New Mexico Biological Park to create a new set of exhibits. The focus of the new gallery is the Pacific Region. The Gallery must contain the following 4 tanks representing the entire Pacific Region.

Your job is to design the life support systems for the following exhibits.

A. 10,000 Liter cold Pacific Rocky Shore, Intertidal Wave Pool
B. 100,000 Liter Tropical Pacific Reef
C. 1,000,000 Liter Shark Tank
D. 10,000 Liter Papua New Guinea Cloud Forest Freshwater Tank

Keeping in mind that you are in the middle of the desert (water is scarce) design life
support systems for each of the above exhibits. In your answer you should draw
each system, show the water flow pattern and describe each piece of equipment you
are using. You should discuss what the major concerns and issues with each exhibit are and how you will overcome these issues


(this is for a college class FYI)

 
You're talking water treatment on a huge scale. I would look at adopting from a city water treatment system. Our small hobby systems are too small of scale for this type of thing.
 

WHICH PART OF YOUR SETUP IS HARDEST TO REACH OR REMOVE FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE?
