The main tank called the ‘Kuroshio Sea’ holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world’s second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60centimeters. Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank.

That is so nice it almost looks fake. Makes me sleepy watching it.


Almost as nice as the 20 gal we had in college. Come home buzzing and tie hot dog chunks on dental floss. Oscars can give you quite a battle for an Oscar Meyer chunk.
