World's largest fish tank

"If you wanted to visit the world's largest fish tank, you'd have to go to Okinawa, Japan, home of the "Kuroshio Sea," otherwise known as the Churaumi Aquarium. Their fish tank is so humongous, it holds four whale sharks – the biggest fish alive! Not only is the local sea life that's housed in the tank beautiful to look at, but the observation window at the Churaumi is a marvel on its own. The acrylic-resin window clocks in at 26 feet high by 73 feet wide, and almost two feet thick in order to hold the pressure of the water which is pumped in from 300 feet offshore. Don't the people in this picture look like fish food compared to these massive sea creatures!?" -7:00am by PetSugar

I love to watch fish swim, it's such an amazing thing to see a world so removed from us. The beauty of God's creation in the oceans is awe inspiring. There is nothing more soothing to me than to simply watch fish swimming by.....it is a wonderful way to worship the God who made it all. How amazing he is, how creative, how inventive, how fascinating....he's thought of creatures we put in tanks and pay to see. Watching fish a way to worship God? YES, of course....hey, let's go to Japan and spend some time watching fish!
