Kuroshio Sea - 2nd Largest Aquarium Tank in the World

Kuroshio Sea - 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world from Jon Rawlinson on Vimeo.

It was shot at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan. The main tank is called the 'Kuroshio Sea' holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water & features the world's second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters. Whale sharks & manta rays are kept & many other fish species. I find it quite relaxing watching this & I'll be visiting this when I'm in Japan in October.
