world's biggest aquarium?

[JackSpearo]

I just got back from the georgia aquarium and they told me it was the world's biggest...

but I sorta don't believe it...

my fiance is from Valencia, Spain and I swear that the aquarium there is a lot bigger (the georgia aquarium's main tank with the whale sharks is probably bigger than valencia's, but I think valencia has over all more gallons)

does anyone know which is bigger?

I'm having a hard time finding it online...

all I can find is that GA has 8 million gallons and Valencia 11 million gallons

thanks,

Jack

I think the biggest challenge will be figuring out what they are using to quantify it as bigger.

The Georgia Aquarium has more individual animals, more species, a larger single tank, a larger single viewing window, a larger single exhibit and more overall square footage - L'Oceanografic has a larger water volumn - you pick - plus the Georgia Aquarium already has an expansion planned and there may be at least two new aquaria on the way that may be larger than either Atlanta or Valencia.

According to the show the Travel Channel did on L'Oceanografic, it is the largest aquarium in the world.

They repeat it about once a month or so, but usually late at night. Can you say TiVo?
