Chicago's Shedd Aquarium

Strange to see this thread here. Glad I found it in my daily visit.

I'm an exhibit designer for the company that designed exhibits for the
Shedd Aquarium. We did the Caribbean Reef tank in the Rotunda.

Here's a link to our aquarium projects page

I'm glad you had a good time. :-)

I checked your web site (it could use a lot more pictures imho). I'm not
certain which was the Caribbean Reef tank (this one?
http://www.2cah.com/netmax/Links/shedd%20020.jpg ), but all the marine
tanks were very impressive. You have an interesting job )

Yup, that's the one.

I think more photos may be coming to the site. It was just redesigned
and finally posted on Thursday, so it's really new. I haven't even gone
over everything yet. I'll pass your opinion onto the site designers.
(since they're sitting 15 feet away from me right now. ;-) )

I asked. They said only about 25% of the project photos have been
uploaded. That was good news. I looked too and felt the same.

[snip] The Cardinal tank's picture doesn't live
up to real life. Bummer. The first time I saw it
they were all over the place. Possibly they
had something else in the tank before that kept
them on the move in a large school. The second
time I went, they were like you had seen them.
Dispersed, and just hanging out. No wall of flashy
color going this way and that. Just hanging out.

I'll second that observation. I saw the tank over
the summer, and the cardies were schooling pretty
well at that point. I'm pretty sure the Shedd people
had a few discus (or maybe, just maybe some
Pterophyllum sp.) in the tank to keep the cardinals honest.

Anyhow, it's a mesmerizing tank, and almost single-
handedly responsible for my return to aquaria.

You know...they (the aqauirsists there) do
take phone calls. You could suggest they
put something in there to keep them in a nice
school...as I saw the first time.

Maybe my tastes are lowbrow, but I saw NetMax's
pic of the dispersed cards and, well, it's still
striking. When they're schooling, though, it's
totally intense. So, I propose something equally
flashy as a tankmate. Like, oh, a blue marlin. hehe.
