Black Tip Reef Shark

[novice150]

It took a long time and alot of phone calls, but I finally found my shark
He arrived last Friday, and is doing great. He's about 22", very healthy and active, and eating VERY well.
The past 8 months of hard work on my tank has paid off 100x over. Seeing this shark swim in my tank made it all worth it
This pic was taken about 5 minutes after he was added to the tank, the lights were obviously off.

[novice150]

Hey guys, sorry for not replying sooner, the holiday things are slowing me down
Yes, the tank is 1650 gallons, well actually a little more now that it's full, just over 1700. Total system volume is around 1900.
I love this shark, my wife has had to literally pull me out of the basement to celebrate the holidays
I will take some full tank pics sometime today, and try to get them up later.
By the way Splash, your tank DOES NOT suck. lol Anyone that keeps sharks kicks @$$ in my books, and your tank is one of the nicest I have seen. I paid 1000 for the shark.
