July 21st, 2012. Shark Realm This 550,000 gallon tank has a 40-foot long tunnel attached to it and massive viewing windows into an exhibit that is fantastic and one of the best shark tanks Ive ever seen. Sandbar sharks, sand tiger sharks, nurse sharks and green sawfish are the 4 largest species in the tank and there are plenty of them swimming in all directions. In fact there are 16 species of shark at this aquarium and 70 sharks in total, which is more than any other aquarium along the eastern coast of the United States. The viewing windows are enormous and for once overshadow the walk-through tunnel, and there can be no disparaging comments from anyone about this stellar exhibit that opened in 2005.
