You might want to do a little more research.

I went scuba diving in the aquarium at Epcot (Disneyworld, Florida, USA) last week. They claim their tank is 5.8 million gallons; considerably larger then the “World’s Second Largest Aquarium” you listed in Okinawa.

“The Living Seas at Epcot contains the world’s sixth-largest ocean and the biggest facility ever dedicated to man’s relationship with the underwater world.

The Living Seas was designed with the guidance of an advisory board of outstanding experts in oceanography and related fields. Its centerpiece is the world’s largest saltwater aquarium tank containing all manner of undersea creatures. The main coral reef environment is 203 feet in diameter and 27 feet deep, holding 5.6 million gallons of sea water plus another million gallons in its backup system. “

Ehm, yes? Of course it has to be the largest aquarium in North America if it is the largest aquarium in the world. It goes without saying. Nice post btw.
