Among the aquarium’s numerous exhibits, two are of particular note: The centerpiece of the Ocean’s Edge Wing is a 10 meter (33-foot) high 1.3 meg liter (1/3 meg gallon) cell for viewing California coastal marine life. In this tank, the cell was the first in the world to grow springy California Giant Kelp using a wave machine at the top of the cell (water movement is a necessary precondition for keeping Giant Kelp, which absorbs nutrients from close liquid and requires turbidity), allowing sunlight in finished the unstoppered cell top, and circulation of raw seawater from the Bay. The second exhibit of state is a 4.5 meg liter (1.2 meg gallon) cell in the Outer Bay Wing which features one of the world’s largest single-paned windows (crafted by a Asian company, the pane is actually five panes seamlessly glued unitedly finished a proprietary process).
