In geometry an Archimedean solid is a highly symmetric, semi-regular convex polyhedron composed of two or more types of regular polygons meeting in identical vertices. The truncated icosahedron was discovered well over two-thousand years ago.Click here to see the tank in flat pattern view!

A football (soccer) ball is an example of a truncated icosahedron found in everyday life. The ball comprises the same pattern of regular pentagons and regular hexagons, but is more spherical due to the pressure of the air inside and the elasticity of the ball.
So why all of the trouble to make an orb environment to display fish? 
Well it's simple. Artistic design on different levels with thinking above and beyond yield very beautiful and well thought out designs. Frank Lloyd Wright is an excellent example of that. Today he is regarded as an exemplary artist with visionary designs that were well ahead of his time even long after his death in 1959. 
Why the "soccer ball" orb?  The shape is known and accepted world wide and it is ideal for viewing from different angles and heights highlighting the interior environment.
