To find the total volume of all the tanks at the aquarium after the new dolphin tank is installed, we need to add the volume of the new dolphin tank to the combined volume of all the existing tanks.

Combined volume of all tanks = 2.25 × 10^4 gallons
Volume of new dolphin tank = 3.5 × 10^5 gallons

Total volume = Combined volume + Volume of new dolphin tank
Total volume = 2.25 × 10^4 + 3.5 × 10^5
Total volume = 2.25 × 10^4 + 35 × 10^4
Total volume = 37.5 × 10^4
Total volume = 3.75 × 10^5 gallons

Therefore, the total volume of all the tanks at the aquarium after the new dolphin tank is installed is 3.75 × 10^5 gallons.
