    My kids used to love to go to Weeki Watchi (not sure if I spelled that correctly lol). I loved taking them to Buccaneer Bay because I could literally watch my son who by the time he was 5 was tall enough for adult rides (as I recall that means he was at least 48”!) and I could watch him and still let my younger daughter have fun at the “beach area”! I still have pics of my daughter with the mermaids!

      I’m not a mermaid, but I do work in aquarium management. Generally speaking the “sanitization” is just a really good rinse to ensure there are no odd production chemicals (if brand new), parasites, chlorine, and/or salt left from whatever previous swim you did. Every tank is it’s own environment so we try to keep everything secluded. Generally most makeup and hair products won’t affect the tank, so that’s less of a worry.

    • @DarkCelestialConsciousness
      @DarkCelestialConsciousness Год назад +41

      tbh it's about magnitude of contamination. beyond a certain threshold it's more than the tank ecosystem can bare. tbh the makeup and hair products would def be a problem if they hv heavy metals
