NW native salt water tank!

[Kaosu]

Padilla bay has a neat little work shop for kids to come explore and learn about the importance of Puget Sound.

they just got a new tank..forgot the gallons and are working on a second arch way, its a tiny little place with no admission, if any one is ever up in the NW of Washington i recommend this cute little place.

here are some pics of the tank set ups and there inhabitants, the guy who runs the tanks opened them up for me the the cylinder ones are all self contained it was neat, the large tank runs off of a 500 gallon sump and a 300 gallon sump, as well as a HUGE cooling system to keep the tanks at about 60o.

ENJOY!

I've been there!!!!!! When I was camping with my grandpa! It was a cool little place. but now I need to go back there and see this new tank!
I thought that Puget sound was boring until I went to the Seattle aquarium for the first time in 4 years and went to a peir peer with People for Puget Sound, and after doing my 8th grade project on Puget Sound.
Lots of neet stuff!
