The tank is in international so yeah you'd have to go past security just to look at it. It's PITA for the guys who have to go out to maintenance it, but that said, it is still a VERY nice tank. the way the halides are set up make shafts of light and is, in the words of one guy at the aquarium, "a religious experience."
so go see it if you're ever on your way out to china or something.
only bad thing about the tank is that in the MIDDLE of the pane, is a seam. why they have the seam in the MIDDLE of the pane is beyond me, but most people won't notice it since they wont be examining it very closely (like we would).
matt, we still love your lil tank!
