I wish that aquarium in Okinawa was open when I was there.

I've seen pictures of the African cichlid display at the Georgia Aquarium. I wouldn't mind seeing it if I'm ever in Georgia.

I saw this tank about a year ago back on youtube. Didn't know it was 8 million gal!
Makes my tanks look like a drop of water. I think it's one of the Holy Grail of Tanks. :ihit:
