COCOA BEACH RESIDENT FINDS AQUATIC SUCCESS

WRITTEN BY: Doug Baker, Editor, Cocoa Beach Explorer

If you are a frequent reader of the Cocoa Beach Explorer magazine you may have noticed an ad for Bottled Ocean, Inc. They have worked with us on and off for a few years now, but not until I sat down with Cocoa Beach resident and owner of Bottled Ocean Gregory Lund, did I understand the full scope of what Bottled Ocean has done and can do for its clients.

Bottled Ocean works with professional, commercial, and residential clients to build custom aquariums and waterways. In fact, I bet you have seen some of their work already. They have worked with Sea World, Disney, Orlando International Airport, Nemours, and Gaylord Palms Orlando all right here in Central Florida. Bottled Ocean’s first big break was when it landed the contract to build lobster and fish tanks for Red Lobster restaurants around the country. They have even partnered with the History Channel to replicate a Louisiana bayou with live alligators in Chelsea Market Manhattan to promote the Swamp People television series.

One of Bottle Ocean’s on-going projects is with Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Orlando. Bottled Ocean created and manages the 360,000 gallons of interactive animal waterways that span across the atrium of the 1,400-room resort. The environments are home to a diverse array of animals including alligators, turtles and a variety of fish species.

Another large-scale project Bottled Ocean tackled was the development of the Modular Reef System for Sea World’s Discovery Cove. The Modular Reef System has a self-balancing buoyancy chamber which allows for crews to raise, lower, and move the reef modules to allow for easy placement, cleaning, and maintenance of the reefs. This helps reduce burdens on the filtration systems and limits stress on the animals in the exhibit.

Custom aquariums have become a trending item for homes and offices. Now you can even watch reality shows on TV about them. If you have ever considered a custom aquarium you should call Greg. He and his team can build you a oneof-a-kind aquarium—any size or type. Bottled Ocean, Inc. can take your dream and turn it into reality!
