Two Oceans Aquarium volunteer Douw Steyn gives Solemates insider’s knowledge in the filter room.
Not many “sea-vilians” get to see this part of the Aquarium!
Did you know? We pump seawater from the harbour to all our exhibits, including the Kelp Forest Exhibit (seen above). Over and above the water we add every day, we filter 800 000 litres of seawater into the kelp forest every two hours.
