New resident alert!🐠

If you have been around the aquarium in the past few days you may have noticed one of our newest residents, Ella. Ella is a yellow stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis) that originally came to us from the National Marine Aquarium (NMA).

Ella can currently be found in our first open top tank in the aquarium, however she may be slightly difficult to spot as this species is known for burying their way underneath the sand to camouflage themselves to protect them from predators.

As suggested in the name, Ella, is a stingray and therefore has a venomous barb attached to the upper end of her tail that can be used in instances where she may feel threatened. In the photos you can see that extra care was taken and protective equipment was worn when putting Ella in her new home.

In the wild this species lives around 10 years and can usually be found in the western Atlantic from North Carolina to the Caribbean. Their diet mainly consists of mussels, squid, crab and some bony fish.

Although yellow stingrays have some really cool features, one of the most interesting is the fact that they glow in the dark and it has been suggested that this could be for communication purposes. As well as this they also have 360 degree vision from their periscopic eyes that allows them to detect predators from any direction 👀🌊

Over the past week we had a burst in one of the 3 main pipes that feeds our 350,000 litre ocean tank. As you can probably imagine a situation like this is something that has to be dealt with pretty quickly as all of our ocean stock rely on that water.

Although situations like this don’t occur very often, especially in pipe work this large, we believe it’s important to do some in house training to further our aquarists skill set on how to deal with this situation if it were to occur again, training that can also be applied to smaller systems.

The pipe that burst is fed off of our two main sand filters that provide mechanical filtration to all of the water in the ocean tank line. In order to begin the fixing process the sand filter line had to be shut down and isolated so that water from the ocean tank didn’t begin to back siphon. Then, in order to begin cutting, all of the water that sits in these pipes had to be drained down, this is done by opening one of the multiple break points in the system that are installed for this exact purpose.

The old bit of pipe work was then cut out and removed and new lengths of pipe and sleeves were measured, prepped and glued into place. This then finally allowed us to slot the valve in and secure with large bolts. After waiting several hours for the welding agent (glue) to dry we were able to put the system back on line.

After 6 hours of work we are pleased to report that this line is completely repaired without a single drop of water in sight and all of our ocean tank animals are happy and well🐠

As a site we are very fortunate to have all of the critical spares that are needed when rare situations like this do occur as well as a skilled curator that led the fix with the team🔧🪚
