Georgia Aquarium

During my recent trip to Atlanta for Catalyst Conference, I had a chance to stop by the Georgia Aquarium which is the biggest aquarium in the world.

This reef tank was my favorite exhibit. The pictures don't do it justice.

The centerpiece of the aquarium is their 6 million gallon aquarium, which houses four whale sharks and their new addition, a rare Manta Ray. They are breathtakingly amazing.

If you are ever in Atlanta, I recommend checking out the aquarium whether you're a fish nerd or not. It's definitely worth it.

we especially liked ralph the whale shark. staring at the jellies made me feel like i was in outerspace. never understood fascinations w/ fish though. but perhaps it's like dinosaurs and trains.
