Reducing the cost of aquariums created a big demand for these educational and entertainment centres and countries began to demand aquariums for themselves。Aquariums had once been the preserve of public authorities because of their buge cost，but they now became viable as paying attractions run by private operators。Instead of the ￥100 million or so the it was costing to build the big Japanese and American aquariums，Mellsop was able to build them for one quarter of a third of the cost，because an acrylic tunnel is stronger than a flat panel，requiring less plastic，less concrete，less engineering，as well as providing a much closer experience of undersea life。
