I need to know some oceanarium forum, who could give me a hand?

[Jessesun]

Hello, everybody,

I am Jesse and konw this is a place of aquarium, but I want to know some forum about oceanarium, which is bigger than aquarim, anybody can help me with this question?

Thks a lot

Jesse

What is the question, exactly?

What is the question, exactly?

Appears to be looking for a forum for the really big ones
An oceanarium can be either a marine mammal park, such as Marineland of Canada, or a large-scale aquarium, such as the Lisbon Oceanarium, presenting an ocean habitat with marine animals, especially large ocean dwellers such as sharks.

Still wondering what the question is, however.

This being a chemistry forum, chemistry translates to any scale.

not like you said, aquarium is mainly displayed at home, while oceanarium is for public. and that equipment in them is completely different. Aquarium do not have too strict requirement for water quality, while oceanrium is not like that

Do you have a chemistry-related question for large scale aquariums?

yes, I want to know what the water quality is for oceanrium, or when we have ozone to disinfect, what is concentration of ozone and contact time, how often etc?

That depends on the type of aquarium. My ozone article gives some references to published studies in large aquaria using ozone:

Ozone and the Reef Aquarium, Part 1: Chemistry and Biochemistry by Randy Holmes-Farley - Reefkeeping.com

Ozone and the Reef Aquarium, Part 2: Equipment and Safety by Randy Holmes-Farley - Reefkeeping.com

Ozone and the Reef Aquarium, Part 3: Changes in a Reef Aquarium upon Initiating Ozone by Randy Holmes-Farley - Reefkeeping.com

from the first one:

"In a marine mammal pool, for example, it was found that disinfection with 4 ppm ozone with a 30 minute contact time (a disinfection level much higher than is typically used in reef aquaria) did not reduce the pool's total organic carbon (TOC) (~13 ppm TOC), while the use of granular activated carbon (GAC) did reduce it by 37%. Interestingly, the combination of ozone and GAC was even more effective, removing 60-78% of the TOC, suggesting that the ozonation may have altered some of the molecules in a way that made them bind more strongly (or more rapidly) to GAC. An alternative explanation that cannot be ruled out involves biological transformations of the organic compounds taking place on the GAC surface as it became colonized with bacteria)."

Have you ever make oceanrium disinfection project? Although we are a ozone equipment factory, but in ozone appliaction for oceanrium, we do not have practice experience. only we need to such disinfection to improve products further

No, I only read that info in a scientific paper.
