AquaDom – a huge aquarium in the middle of one from the areas of Berlin, a cylindrical shape. This unusual design, which serves as a home for many fish, is both a complement and the main attraction of the « Radisson Blu Hotel ». The grand opening of AquaDom took place in 2003.
AquaDom is recognized as the largest aquarium in the whole world, because it has a height of – 25 meters, and its diameter is 11 meters. To build such an unusual fish house in Germany, I had to spend 13 million euros. AquaDom transparent walls are based on acrylic, which is located on a nine-meter concrete basis.
AquaDom is filled with 1 million liters of water so that 1.5 thousand exotic fish, of which there are 97 species, can live normally. The species of fish that live in the aquarium were all carefully selected, taking into account the conditions in which they should live.
For convenient viewing of fish, visitors can use the elevator, which is just for this occasion.
Residents of AquaDom have all the conditions for a comfortable habitat. Here, in their own way, underwater life is seething, because builders even managed to build rocks, filled with numerous small caves and various cracks, where small fish from predators hide.
Clean, order in the aquarium is provided by full-time scuba divers who work here daily. For feeding fish every day, up to 8 kg of feed is approximately taken.
This water attraction in the middle of the five-star hotel courtyard is always filled with visitors, and guests of « Radisson Blu Hotel » have a great opportunity to watch fish directly from the hotel windows.
