This awesome tank is found at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan.
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.
The music is "Please don’t go" by Barcelona.

World's Most Smallest Aquarium Pictures | The Russians Create World's Most Smallest Aquarium
0 comments Posted by VAHIN NIAM at 12:36 AM
Russian miniaturist Anatoly Konenko has been creating miniatures for thirty years now. He invented his own technology on writing on rice, poppy seeds, as well as human hair. He has recently created the world's smallest aquarium with live fish. This tiny tank is made of fibreglass and there are living algae on the bottom. There is even real fish there, which size doesn’t exceed 4 mm.
The size of the tank is 30 x 24 x 14 mm, its volume: 10 ml. which makes 2 teaspoons.
It took Anatoly three weeks to create the tank, but the most difficult part was to build a micro air compressor.

The newest AIR 3 Aquarium design (shown above) by Rémi Bouhaniche and Amaury Poudray of Lyon, France design studio Usin-e is the third in their series of modern laboratory glassware fish tanks.
AIR 1 Aquarium:
AIR2 Aquarium:
Each of the AIR series consists of a glass vessel perched atop metal legs. The first two AIR aquariums have horizontally elongated zeppelin-shaped blown glass (blown by Peter Pignat of Pignat glass) bowls perched atop metal legs.

The third is a test-tube like shape with a flat bottom and sheared off top, supported on an angle by white metal rods.

The AIR1 and AIR3 aquariums from a 2010 exhibit at La Bergerie, Marseille:
and the AIR2 aquarium at VIVID Gallery, Rotterdam, NL, 2010:
While it's true that these are impossible to clean, have no filter and are not the most beautiful fish friendly environments, they are beautiful as studies of material, space and balance.
