Here's a pretty interesting article on some of the challenges while designing and constructing the aquarium.
I don't know if you knew, but in the case of an emergency, all the water in all of the tanks can be replaced with water in standby tanks... That's a lot of water!

I posted that article or one similar a while back it's pretty crazy what those engineers came up with to make it all work. I'm sure a lot of the back room areas are off limits due to liability. The one show was showing what all the people do there for different jobs and the people that work in the back areas do a lot of ducking and climbing around thing lol
