活色，背后的公司MLB迈阿密马林鱼队获得水族馆added behind home plate have completed their construction. Among the most unique features of the new Miami Marlin’s Stadium will be twin Custom Saltwater Aquariums that flank either sides of home plate. Designed and built in Florida by Living Color Aquariums, the aquariums have been manufactured utilizing the latest technology and incorporate features to ensure the safety and health of the many species of aquatic life that will inhabit them.
The aquariums have been installed in place of standard backstops behind home plate and have been positioned to prevent disruption to players on the field. Each aquarium is mitered and has a 13 degree angle in the middle to follow the dimensions of a major league regulation backstop. The twin aquariums each measure 22 feet long and hold over 450 gallons of water. The aquarium frames are constructed with durable fiberglass structures; while cast acrylic panels 1 ½” thick provide unobstructed viewing windows running the entire 22 foot length of the aquariums.
To safeguard the animals and exhibits from unexpected impacts; Lexan- the material used in bullet proof windows, has been installed in front of the acrylic panels to protect the aquarium from foul balls, errant pitches or any other unexpected contact. An air gap between the aquarium acrylic and Lexan shield isolates the aquariums from vibrations should an object strike them. The system has been carefully engineered and extensively tested. A pitching machine and a Marlin’s player have hurled fast balls against the aquariums without leaving a mark. The protective Lexan has been installed at a 2 degree angle to reduce the possibility of on-field glare. Dimmable LED lights are controlled by the stadium’s central control room and allows officials to adjust the aquarium lighting as needed. Protective covers are placed over the aquariums during non-game times to protect the panels and limit ambient light.
A live reef aquarium would be impractical for this application for numerous reasons including maintenance. As such, Living Color’s museum-quality replica corals and reef inserts are used for the aquarium décor. The artificial corals are cast in urethane and epoxy from real coral skeletons and researched for biological accuracy. In a further measure to ensure that the aquariums are as environmentally friendly as possible, the Miami Marlins Aquariums feature some fish species that were raised in captivity from some of Florida’s leading aquaculture facilities including Porkfish from the University of Florida’s Tropical Aquaculture Laboratory.
高级水族馆过滤系统将使鱼在新家中蓬勃发展，这是一种技术奇迹。生活颜色以在充满挑战的地点设计和建造水族馆而闻名，迈阿密马林鱼水族馆也不例外。每个水族馆都在一个单独的系统上运行，水族馆的水被泵送到位于访问团队的独木舟后面的生命支持系统过滤室。通往过滤室的窗户已放置在通往来访团队更衣室的走廊上，该室使玩家在通过时看到过滤室。使鱼类保持快乐所需的一些设备，水族馆晶体清晰，是：泡沫分级器，超紫罗莱氏灭菌器，微米过滤器，钛镀层热交换器，Bio Towers，RO/DI单元，带有自动型号和电子产品的储水桶水族馆监视器。总而言之，需要30多种独立类型的水族馆过滤设备以及数百英尺的管道来支持这些非凡的水族馆展览中的海洋生物。其他对鱼类友好的功能包括：一种远程喂食器，将新时代的海洋颗粒直接从过滤室泵入每个水族馆。每个水族馆顶部的聚碳酸酯盖防止化肥或化学物质进入水。
为了确保水族馆的平稳运行并监视鱼类健康，Living Color的水族馆饲养团队在每场比赛前2小时检查和为水族馆提供服务。
