Monterey Bay Aquarium improves the illusion of its largest
tank utilizing FRP panels, EPS foam and construction software.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, Calif., recently
replaced the vast tank-liner in its million-gallon Open Sea exhibit. The
80-foot-long eggshell of 1/4-inch-thick Fiber Reinforced Polymer is the “scenic
backdrop” of the tank, designed to create the effect of looking into the
featureless depths of the sea.
