Had a talk with Google and we came up with the round figure of 1.7 million gallons of water. Another source claimed it contained 7,500 tonnes of water which would be the same as 7.5 million litres which in turn would mean a gallon was ~4.4 litres – definately feasible numbers.
Apparently the aquarium has the largest piece of acrylic glass panel in the world as the main window:
height: 8.2m/27'
width: 22.5m/75'
thickness: 0.6m/2'(!).
I'm drooling with Doc, btw...

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
