	Shedd Aquarium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shedd Aquarium was the gift of retail leader John G. Shedd, a protege of Marshall Field, to the city of Chicago.
		The aquarium also boasts a number of sea otters; the core of this collection was a group rescued from the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989.
		The Shedd's newest exhibit is "Wild Reef - Sharks at the Shedd." Under construction from 2000 until its opening in 2003, "Wild Reef" attempts to recreate a Philippine coral reef complete with living coral, multiple species of fish and rays, and a collection of sharks.

		Since Shedd Aquarium's Oceanarium opened its doors in 1991, its elite marine mammal training staff has received numerous awards and national recognition for its accomplishments and leadership in the field.
		Training the animals at Shedd has always been the main focus of the marine mammal staff because, according to Ramirez, training is the foundation of quality animal care and provides the animals with mental stimulation and physical exercise and, perhaps most important, teaches them to cooperate in their own care.
		But at Shedd Aquarium, the mutual trust the staff has developed with the otters, whales and penguins assure that the animals are extremely cooperative with the medical process.

		The large sea mammals are being moved to make room for construction of a new sea lion exhibit to replace the aging old barge on the harbor known as the Discovery, where for a decade the slick-swimming quartet has entertained children and adults alike with their roaring, diving, herring-gobbling, and basketball-balancing.
		Aquarium staff made the decision so that they can sell the 1974 Discovery and build a new open-air, more naturalistic sea lion center, for approximately $3.5 million.
		Once in Chicago, ''the boys," as the sea lions are known to New England Aquarium staff, will move into a holding area where they can acclimate to their new home, the Pacific Northwest Coast exhibit at Shedd, the world's largest indoor marine mammal pavilion, replete with white-sided dolphins and beluga whales.

		When it comes to aquarium air pumps, most people believe that using one will increase greatly the amount of oxygen that is dissolved in your tank because of the bubbles that are released, but this is not so.
		All salt water aquariums should be running steadily and well, being that you've finished the cycling process and has also been a few weeks since you last performed the very first basic tasks of maintenance.
		Reef aquariums are very sensitive to their temperatures, so it is vital that you keep your aquarium at its best temperature.
