Though ecosystems are complicated, how the oceans stay "clean" for life is pretty easy to understand. All the poop and other waste falls to the bottom of the ocean and there are literal species down there designed to just...eat the poop.
Especially since he’s spraying the hose. It’s putting the fecal matter into aerosol form so basically every breath he’s inhaling a ton of poop particles…
At the end they explained that was just sand, the poop had already been filtered out - still extremely gross and I'd probably be wearing full PPE still lol but not like he's spraying waste everywhere with the hose
I have lotsa aquarium and surprisingely, fish poop doesnt smeell or anything compared to other animals. Also, they already went through filters, so all thats left is odorless sludge
@tashacraven You got that very wrong! 11:42 - "most of it is animal waste, there is a little bit sand". He never said what you wrote, that it is just sand.
that’s because even though many aquariums put a lot of effort into making mini-ecosystems in their tanks, the ocean is way bigger with way more organisms to break down all the waste
this is genuinely so incredible. i love the national aquarium in baltimore. its always so stunning and gorgeous but i rarely see many employees around. now i realize that they always are, hard at work keeping these enclosures clean and running. amazing stuff
The Georgia Aquarium is absolutely BREATH TAKING. I get chills every time I see those giant whale sharks. How lucky are we to see such amazing creatures so up close & personal. I also highly recommend the behind the scenes tour.
As a beginner gardener playing with aquaponics, I wonder if all that biomaterial waste is just dumped into sewage treatment or used towards agricultural. There's a lot of good nitrates in there that are great for growing plants.
I was wondering the same thing, too bad it was not talked about in the video. But then these are salt water aquariums, so the "sludge" sure contains salt, so it may not be suitable for land crops unless further treatment is applied to that sludge.
I got the pleasure to get a behind the seas tour and sleep in front in front of the big window to the ocean voyager. It was so amazing it was a school trip with all the boys in one van we went to to botanical garden and then a night at the at the aquarium
Tbh, I'd gladly pay 50$ to go see this aquarium, it's absolutely amazing. I've been to monteray bay aquarium and that place was really amazing but that ocean voyage tank at this aquarium in georgia is absolutely breathtaking and I'd absolutely love to go and see it if I had the money to buy a plane ticket and whatnot lmfao.
I loved the Georgia aquarium. My favorite part was the Beluga whales, they were so majestic. it just felt crazy that we live on the same planet as them.
We used to have sharks at our local zoo. But one night, the filtration system of the aquarium had a malfunction and all the sharks died overnight. Sharks are extremely sensitive towards water quality...one night of limited filtration was enough to kill them.
@@paulhorn9809 Ya'll act like these animals are being mistreated horrendously and aren't being given a fulfilling life with food and plenty of space to roam. Don't get me wrong, there are aquariums and zoos that treat animals horrendously and those places should definitely be exposed and shutdown but ya'll don't understand that a lot of these animals would more than likely live a short life in the wild furthermore majority of the time these animals are well taken care of and loved plenty and it's not like these animals have enough intelligence to understand that they're in a aquarium lol
@@ThiccHarambeGaming That‘s the point. They understand that they are captivity. Would you rather live a short life in freedom or a long one in captivity. I’m sure everyone at the aquarium does a great job and loves the animals. But when u look at the greater picture it’s just not right. I just think it's unthinking to just say everyone should go to the zoo because it's "nice".
@@paulhorn9809 How do they understand that though? I didn't know little fish were capable of intelligence to the point where they could differentiate between an enclosed environment and an open one lol. If I was a fish I'd rather live in a safe and comfortable environment where I can get food everyday and enjoy my fish life comfortably instead of one that I have to fight for my life every single day and constantly having the fear of not having food to survive or having the constant fear of being devoured by some other fish lol. But I understand what you're trying to get at and I agree to an extent but at the end of the day, these little fishies are living a comfortable life where they get food everyday, can probably mate comfortably and not having to worry about being eaten by some other fish although I doubt they fear that since fish aren't that intelligent lol but they are well taken care of in general and aren't being abused. If they were being abused and whatnot than yeah, I'd agree to not go and support that business that abuses those animals and should be shutdown but that's not what's happening here. But I also believe that aquariums are great because they teach people about marine life and to take care of the marine life and it also gives people a good picture of how beautiful marine life is and how it should absolutely be taken care of. I think it's important for people to be educated on these things.
I know, right? The way they "walk" around, and the cute little noises they make, made me smile.🥰 My stepson actually used to work there, and unfortunately we weren't able to go when he invited us to take a personal tour. Maybe he can call in a favor and we'll still have a chance to check it out.🤞 I'll even help clean if it means I'd get to hangout with those adorable sea lions! Like you said, they are so cute!
There must be a better way to clean that huge tank out at the end. Rather than lift the buckets I would have thought a suction device anything to make it easier.
I worked at an aquarium and cleaning the tanks was actually a highly sought gig. We had people that volunteered to clean the tanks just for free dive time every week or month. They loved it, the visitors loved watching someone inside the tunnels swimming with the marine life, it was very magical and fun to see
Really surprised that the waste basin crew doesn't wear protective gear for their faces and hands. They're out here just inhaling and transporting poop lol.
Very tough job but very cleaning they're maintaining. Atleast they should be given face mask while cleaning the drains. In long run they might face health issues as they'll be breathing ammonium or any other.
What blows my mind is how great ecosystems are, like imagine no body is going and cleaning the oceans and yet it supports huge number of life.
its Allah creation
Its bhagwan creation
Evolution through natural selection makes consumer species at every level.
Though ecosystems are complicated, how the oceans stay "clean" for life is pretty easy to understand. All the poop and other waste falls to the bottom of the ocean and there are literal species down there designed to just...eat the poop.
@@danahabd4497lol sure
The man being in there with no gloves, mask, or hat is CRAZY to me.
Especially since he’s spraying the hose. It’s putting the fecal matter into aerosol form so basically every breath he’s inhaling a ton of poop particles…

@@fluxion3265 I understand that now, I didn’t finish the video.
This is something I never even thought about. It's amazing how they do it routinely everyday. I definitely couldn't 😂
All this casually happens and the ocean and finds a way to clean itself, insane really
Ocean thousands more big, so it will naturally gone
that’s because even though many aquariums put a lot of effort into making mini-ecosystems in their tanks, the ocean is way bigger with way more organisms to break down all the waste
And still some people believe that god doesnt exists.
@randomvideoboy1 how do you think consciousness itself exists in the first place? The universe is an expression of consciousness.
@randomvideoboy1 So you're science created all this? 😂
Hats off to all the hard working dedicated employees.
this is genuinely so incredible. i love the national aquarium in baltimore. its always so stunning and gorgeous but i rarely see many employees around. now i realize that they always are, hard at work keeping these enclosures clean and running. amazing stuff
It blows my mind how a creature like Toby is just so smart, look at him, he's hoping all over the place, that is so cute :3
The Georgia Aquarium is absolutely BREATH TAKING. I get chills every time I see those giant whale sharks. How lucky are we to see such amazing creatures so up close & personal. I also highly recommend the behind the scenes tour.
Nice ad
it’s actually a horrible aquarium
Ah yes let’s glorify sticking massive animals in tiny enclosures compared to where they should be in the ocean
@@AKIsAClownexactly haha 😊
LITERAL CHILLS🤓🤓
Did that seal just waved his hands? That’s so adorableee. 🥺
The jobs that people have to do so we can see clean water in aquariums. Have a lot of gratitude for those kind of people.
1:09 he waved, my heart can't take this much cuteness💞💞
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it...
I was just thinking this same thing, too
yep!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ohhhhh
Not for free.
I mean, he's not wearing a mask, for whatever reason, so I guess it's not that dirty, hard or smelly after all.
This was so interesting and educational! Props to all teams of workers on the aquarium 👏🏽
As a beginner gardener playing with aquaponics, I wonder if all that biomaterial waste is just dumped into sewage treatment or used towards agricultural. There's a lot of good nitrates in there that are great for growing plants.
They said it gets treated and used to top off the water level in ocean voyager
@@APimpNamedSlickBakthat's the water. But the solids would be absolutely loaded with nitrates and amazing as fertilizer
I was wondering that too. Fertilizer!
@@kiddwong4186awesome fertilizer.
It is so amazing how they can clean such huge aquariums
Those Sea Lion and Harbor seals are adorable
Wonder if all that would make for quality fertiliser.
I was wondering the same thing, too bad it was not talked about in the video. But then these are salt water aquariums, so the "sludge" sure contains salt, so it may not be suitable for land crops unless further treatment is applied to that sludge.
I’ve been to The Georgia Aquarium this year and it was amazing the aquarium was huge and very clean I definitely recommend going if you live sea life
12:17 one of the most respectful job in the world
I got the pleasure to get a behind the seas tour and sleep in front in front of the big window to the ocean voyager. It was so amazing it was a school trip with all the boys in one van we went to to botanical garden and then a night at the at the aquarium
We visited in June. This is something we didn't even think to ask..... Staff was amazing answering all of our questions this is one we missed.
Oh WOW! The general public doesn't think about this. 😂😂😂😂
It's so stinking cute how they learn their little routine and know where they're going and what they're doing like doggies 😂
5:09 Never thought anyone could be so excited and happy and downright euphoric cleaning someone's 💩! 🎩off to you young lady 👍🏻🏆🎖
I further understand why aquarium tickets cost $50
Tbh, I'd gladly pay 50$ to go see this aquarium, it's absolutely amazing. I've been to monteray bay aquarium and that place was really amazing but that ocean voyage tank at this aquarium in georgia is absolutely breathtaking and I'd absolutely love to go and see it if I had the money to buy a plane ticket and whatnot lmfao.
16$ here in South Africa

I was there yesterday and it’s HUGE!!!
i can't stand cleaning my protein skimmer when it's full. The smell is horrid! Can't imagine them. Props to these people!
I loved the Georgia aquarium. My favorite part was the Beluga whales, they were so majestic. it just felt crazy that we live on the same planet as them.
Healthy. Happy habitats, healthy and clean animals. I am very happy too

You have been before?
animals in captivity, nice! Everyone should visit.

Thank you for the update, Insider..!! Amazing work..!!
me washing my parent's aquarium can't even be compared to this, great job! also love the fish
That is the beauty of the aquarium hobby and only those who really into this see that. ❤
Wow respect to the crew ❤
1:09 My heart just melting
I'm surprised they don't use high pressure water for cleaning the floors instead of scrubbing with soap and elbow grease.
My respect to all these beautiful people
8:32
This is so trippy. The rock she's scrubbing looks like a hole to some other universe.
So cool to see the things that you otherwise won't see .
0:29 dumpy
I like how Toby just waved then hopped on over to the mattress 😅
i cant even imagine how they had to coordinate this over lockdown
That would be so good for plants!🌱
This crew deserve a Medal 🏅 they don't even clean they own homes like that 😅
Toby is a champ
Prayers for gale🫡
Am i the only one who thinks the diver tank cleaning seems like an awesome job, id love to do something like that..i wonder how much they get paid.
0:29 lady got a bakery
aquarium housekeeping, interesting
they should make it. naturaly planted tank
1:10 what do u mean a sea lion wavin at us?
this was a cool one
I think it is the least that humans can do for these animals after being captivated, good for them.
dang i remember coming here when i was like 6 or something
I loved toby 🦭
Omg the sea lions ❤️❤️❤️
Huge thanks!💙💙
Where's Mike Rowe? This would have been right up his alley!
I hope they pay y'all well. Hat's off to ya.
This next-level dedication. ❤
Oh waw. So much work!
I need to go here one day!
toby the sea lion has my heart
I love how their called life support team
The seals will be like : hello! Is this LSS team? U missed a spot and Dave is really freaking out!
I'm curious about the jelly fish exhibits
You just wear a wetsuit that covers every inch of your body and a mask that does the same for your face.
Not to be dramatic… BUT I WOULD DIE FOR TOBY
5:02 I've never seen someone so happy scooping poop
I love this aquarium
One day I hope I get to visit.
0:29 GYATTTT
Shoutout to the cleaners, something that never even occurred to me
The thought legit never crossed my mind on what happens to the fish 💩 thanks 👍🏾
I really want to swim in that tank like really really badly.
There must be a better way to clean that huge tank out at the end. Rather than lift the buckets I would have thought a suction device anything to make it easier.
0:29 GAH DAMN
TOBY IS SO CUTE
College kids: Yay! I just graduated and now I’m a marine biologist! 🐬
Life: Grab a shovel. You’ll literally be shoveling 💩
so cool I was there not that long ago, its neet to see more of that stuff
Every single aquarist knows how that person felt scraping off algae off that piece of wood.
I was listening to this with only audio and I thought Toby was just a really fat aquarium cleaner
Where do all the aquatic animals go while the tanks are being cleaned? Into another tank?
Love the Georgia aquarium. I’ve seen the divers several times cleaning. Looks like a fun job but it probably sucks.
I worked at an aquarium and cleaning the tanks was actually a highly sought gig. We had people that volunteered to clean the tanks just for free dive time every week or month. They loved it, the visitors loved watching someone inside the tunnels swimming with the marine life, it was very magical and fun to see
I'm surprised Mike Rowe hasn't done this yet
The ocean does all of this naturally ❤❤❤
Well this isn't a video about the ocean
Because the ocean is a open system and not a closed one like an aquarium
Cant they add cleaner fish and decomposers and species that naturally clean like out in the wild?
PLEASE GET MIKE ROWE IN ON THIS!!!!
The glue of the team. No them no happy healthy fishy mammals
Tell me your bottling it and using the waste as natural plant food in your local community gardens. ?!
in the sea lion exhibit like "who tf closed last night"
I see lots of plant fertilizer
They don’t do this every day. They’ll never have time for the animals but crazy of the love and smarts
They actually do clean everything every day
They should get some natural algae eaters like snails, sucker fish, and other animals that eat poop and detritus.
Really surprised that the waste basin crew doesn't wear protective gear for their faces and hands. They're out here just inhaling and transporting poop lol.
also crazy, no one wearing eye protection
An aquarium can clean like this everyday but for public transportation its to much trouble?
Very tough job but very cleaning they're maintaining. Atleast they should be given face mask while cleaning the drains. In long run they might face health issues as they'll be breathing ammonium or any other.
The guy may like the smell of poop though
Question the waste disposal should be used for organic waste matter for the plates ❗️❗️❗️
