    Featured Monterey Bay Aquarium Tour 7/8/26

    Pictures of public spaces are fine. I didn’t take any pictures myself. We should have taken a group photo but I didn’t think of that. Perhaps someone else has a photo of the group in public spaces.

    Featured Monterey Bay Aquarium Tour 7/8/26

    @Darkxerox I did enquire about posting images. Unfortunately the Aquarium's policy does not permit posting of behind the scenes pictures or videos on social media, and that includes the club's web site. Attendees were allowed to take pictures/videos on the condition that they keep them for...

    Featured Monterey Bay Aquarium Tour 7/8/26

    @FooFtr good question. We are only allow to take 6 people on the behind the scenes tour. This was a request from the Aquarium administration to minimize impact on staff and to enable access to some spaces which are quite small. Realizing that some people may want to come down with friends or...

    @Bruce Spiegelman I forgot to mention, the aquarium offers a reasonably priced behind the scenes tour at the Membership and Tours desk (just inside the front entrance). See more information here: https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/visit/hours-schedule/tours/aquarium-past-and-present. It’s a...

    Monterey Bay Aquarium

    @Bruce Spiegelman I volunteer in animal husbandry at the aquarium. As a volunteer I’m not allowed to bring outside people behind the scenes. Only staff can do that. However, I can check to see if they can setup a tour for the club since this is something they have done in the past. I never...

    Anyone ever dealt with broken Orphek OR3's?

    Bummer. I just ordered the $50 OR4 upgrade for two OR3 60s that died. Not as good of a deal as I thought, though, because they charge about $45 shipping from Hong Kong. I hope the OR4s last longer than the OR3s.

    Anyone ever dealt with broken Orphek OR3's?

    Reach out to there custom service if you have not already. I had one fail just over a year old and they sent me a replacement. I recently had one fail after 3 years and they wouldn’t send a replacement but they would sell me a replacement led board for pretty cheap.
