Fabio Lisboa is a lifelong fish enthusiast and business owner. He wants to make his tank dream come true as the centerpiece of his new office space. His 5,000-gallon vision will not only take up over half of his office's square footage but if successfully completed, it will be the largest private tank in South Florida.
