Sounds like an awesome tank. I would go for a Volitan lion because they get biggest. If u put in the commitment u should be fine with a shark but i would make sure u have everything covered and dont skimp on the equipment

Stress stunts growth... we expect our sharks to grow close to typical wild size. I'll guess we'll just have to wait and see where they max out at.

In captivity in general, or in captivity in hobbyists tanks? Or certain species of sharks? I've worked with Sand Tigers, Browns, Nurse and White Tips in about 200,000g tank that were pretty darn near full size and grew quite well but I am not sure if you are restricting it to hobbyists/species.
