...Where do they serve the Shark Springrolls?

[Killer2005]

Thats amazing. Anyone know exactly how big it is?

[EvoDelta]

According to Wikipedia:
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 60 centimeters.

The biggest is in Atlanta.

Awesome. Whaleshark and Manta ray in there, that must take an AWFUL lotta food.

I'd love to see the skimmer on that beastie....

The whale sharks look awesome

[KB_S1]

What value is in that livestock then?
Considering how much tuna sell for at Japanese auctions and there seemed to be a lot of big tuna in there.

I reckon that would be one of those scenarios where it is hard to to get your head around the sheer scale and spectacle when up close.

What a fantastic video.

That acrylic is 60cm thick.

It seems so busy inside the tank... there's so much going on all the time!

I'm a bit disappointed not to see a massive castle on the bottom, or a skull or a huge treasure chest with bubbles coming out of it.

Magnificent beasts. Those look like they are only babies to me though, 15-20ft long or so..

Yea where's the 'no fishing' sign, or the neon pink gravel?

Poor effort.

Wow this is amazing!! Will certainly have to pay it a visit if I ever go to Japan!

[snotrag]

That is stunning.

Can anyone tell me - at 1.22, what is the sharky looking thing that goes left - right near the bottom, with the extra fin?

That's a saw shark. And the largest tank in the world is at Atlantis in Dubai - they've only got one whale shark though...
