The final home for 'Archie' is a specially made acrylic tank filled with a 10 per cent solution of formol-saline as a preservative. The tank was constructed in California by Casco Ltd., the people who made the tanks for Damien Hirsts' various artworks of animals in formaldehyde. The tank is 9 metres and 45 centimetres long and stands on a 1-metre stainless steel stand so that the giant squid can be viewed from any angle.
