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. Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank.

This was shot using a Canon 5DMKII with a 28-135mm lens.

THERE IS SUCH INCREDIBLE LIFE IN OUR OCEANS....WE MUST PROTECT THEM!

This is an amazing video with a great song that synchs almost perfectly with the movement in the aquarium. I'm trying to really limit the things I buy but this tempts me to go to iTunes and by Barcelona's album. Thanks for the post.

Glad you liked the video – it's really beautiful. I like how the scuba diver in the lower left corner helps to give the tank, fish, and stingrays a sense of scale. Some of them are HUGE.

Being an aquarium enthusiast, I always get thrilled upon seeing videos related to my hobby and I can say that this is one of the best that I’ve come across so far. I love the background music that you have chosen and it fits so well into it. The pleasure of observing and admiring the beauty of underwater world is really a treasure.
