CM Fishroom took a break from breeding tanks and coral care to explore Europe’s largest aquarium, the incredible Oceanogràfic València

The Oceanogràfic of Valencia is Europe’s largest aquarium, located within the City of Arts and Sciences complex. Spanning approximately 110,000 sqm and containing over 42 million ltrs of water, it houses around 45,000 animals from 500 different species. The facility features various marine habitats, including the Mediterranean, Arctic, Antarctic, and tropical seas, as well as the longest underwater tunnel in Europe. Designed by architect Félix Candela, the Oceanogràfic is not only an architectural marvel but also a center for marine research, conservation, and education.

From the graceful glide of stingrays to the mesmerizing world of jellyfish and the vibrant coral reef tunnels, this place is an absolute paradise for marine lovers.

Highlights from the visit:
-Giant ocean tank with sharks & rays
-Spectacular tropical and Mediterranean reef displays
-Breathtaking jellyfish exhibit
-Education, conservation, and inspiration at every corner

If you’re into aquariums, this is a must-visit. So much to learn, admire, and be inspired by. It reminds us why we do what we do at CM Fishroom—bringing the ocean to life, one tank at a time.

Check out some highlights from our visit!

New Shipment of Marine Clownfish & Anemones!

We’ve just received a shipment of beautiful marine clownfish and their natural companions, anemones! These vibrant fish, known for their stunning colors and playful personalities, are a great addition to any reef tank.

Pair them with a host anemone like the Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor), and you’ll have a fascinating symbiotic relationship right in your aquarium!

Acclimating New Fish Properly Is Crucial

After shipment, proper acclimation is essential to reduce stress and ensure a smooth transition into their new home. Sudden changes in water parameters—such as salinity, pH, and temperature—can shock the fish, leading to illness or even death.

Steps for Proper Acclimation:

1. Buckets or Float the Bag – Place the sealed bag in your tank for 15-20 minutes to equalize temperature.

2. Drip Acclimation – Slowly mix your tank water with the bag water over 45-60 minutes using a drip line or small cup.

3. Monitor Salinity & pH – Match the parameters of your tank before introducing the fish.

4. Gently Introduce the Fish – Avoid adding bag water to your tank; instead, use a net to transfer the fish.

5. Observe & Quarantine – If possible, quarantine new arrivals for a few days to monitor for any health issues.

Taking the time to acclimate new arrivals correctly helps them settle in stress-free and thrive in their new environment.

Watch How I Do It!

Here’s a short clip demonstrating my acclimation process to ensure a smooth transition for new arrivals:

New project underway: a massive 3000L+ setup featuring custom glass grow-out tanks and a sump that uses plant-only filtration! This natural approach will rely on aquatic plants to handle nutrient export, keeping the water pristine and stable for the fish.

Highlights:
• Custom Glass Sump: Designed specifically for plant filtration, including sections for fast-growing plants like pothos and submerged species.
• Grow-Out Tanks: Perfectly integrated with the sump for efficient water circulation and natural filtration.
• Eco-Friendly: No mechanical or chemical filtration—just plants doing all the work!
