Hello again curious360,
Here is the information I found regarding aquarium visitors and aquarium tanks..
Chicago's Shedd Aquarium
?Like theme parks and museums, aquariums use new exhibits to entice
guests to return. Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, which is nearly 70 years
old, still averages two million visitors a year, with 40 percent
coming directly from the Chicago area.?

The Seattle Aquarium
The Seattle Aquarium is changing. There is a new understanding of its
mission as the largest "retail" point of education about our marine
environment. No other institution offers the opportunity to bring a
hands-on message of environmental protection to half a million
visitors each year (over a million visitors once we build the new
aquarium).

The Living Seas at Epcot

the biggest facility ever dedicated to man?s relationship with the

The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is second largest in the world.
?The main feature of the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, known as "The
Journey to the Kuroshio Current", takes up most of the second and
first floors. Here sits the worlds second largest aquarium, the
largest in all of Japan, in all of its grandeur and glory. Though only
the second largest in the world, this aquarium has two groundbreaking
accomplishments which have never been achieved before now. For the
first time in the world, this tank holds more than one whale shark. In
fact, this tank holds three! The aquarium holds about 7,500 tons of
water and is 10 meters deep! About 130 tons of glass was used to form
this tank. Each wall is 60cm thick, 22.5 meters wide, and 8.2 meters
high. It is the first tank with an adequate depth for the public to
watch the true feeding habits of the giant whale sharks.?
