This place has a 265,000 gallon WINGS IN THE WATER tank with a ton of marine rays, smaller sharks, and such. Amazon rays are in another long (57-foot long) display.
Also have a 335,000 gallon atlantic reef exhibit, and a 225,000 gallon OPEN WATER tank with a dozen large sharks swimming circles all around you. Not to mention four other levels of smaller exhibits and whatnot.
The whole 24-pack of pictures is over in the photo forum -

That round tank with the bamboos used to be WAY overstocked. I know this sounds wacky but the last time I went with my wife (February?) there were almost if not more than 20 of those guys in there. My wife went back with my son and her friend last month and said there were only about 5 left. Hopefully this is beacuse they sent them to other aquariums or back into the wild. I'd hate to think of the "National" aquarium as using bad judgement in tank stocking.
