What about a Bamboo Shark?

 

[jamesmacc]

my advise would be built a very heavy duty steel frame into the wall to hold the tank, there must be some serious weight in a 1000 gallon tank. what are the dimentions you are planning?

 

[djbrandon199]

im trying to figure out the desigh

 

[djbrandon199]

i dont really like the bamboo shark besides its aggressive

 

[jamesmacc]

you probs be best to flaten a non load bearing wall in your house and then have a welder rebuild it out of heavy duty steel because im guessing a thousand gallon tank is going to way like 4-5 tonne when full? thats like having 5 citroen saxo's built into your wall. its going to take alot of work and even more money but if your dads paying for it then you dont have to worry about it . google ac aquatics, they will build you the tank for a reasonable price and there work is great

And make sure it's on a concrete floor...

And make sure it's on a concrete floor...

+1. i think 1000 gallon is around 8 tonne in water?

 

[ALW]

+1 with the concrete flooring, Its about 4-5 tons in SW then you will need about 300-400kg of live rock and about 100kg of aragonite sand too.

K what about the stock

 

[jamesmacc]

what about a 3ft basking shark

 

[ALW]

The Ray would be hard to feed, and will eat small fish. what about a Dragon Eel (Enchelycore pardalis)or a Zebra Eel (Gymnomuaena zebra)?
