[entice59]

i envy you, man i wish i had the $$$ and space to make a shark tank.

 

[rockface]

speechless to say the least. What a great hobby this is.......

Here's a full tank shot. Sorry about the reflections, I'll have to take some at night.
dave857: Do you still have any of those sharks? Any pics?

 

[eelfreakrobi]

WOW! nice tank, you can have the tank as a dinning table, Novice what do you feed the black tip and how often?

 

[eelfreakrobi]

or better yet, make behind the tank a bar, would look nice

 

[thavngr98]

HEY are you the guy that won Powerball? hahaha lol. That is one beautiful tank! Good Luck with it

 

[novice150]

Eelfreak: Unfortunately, the tank is too tall to really do anything like that. I had thought of it though
I feed the shark every other day right now, mainly because he's new. I'm injecting all his food with a ton a vitamins to help boost his immune system just in case.
So far he's eating Cod, scallops, and squid. Oddly, he wont touch shrimp.
thavngr98: Thanks, and I only wish If I had, I wouldn't have built my own tank, and it would be 10 times this size

Hey Novice, I see you found one, I am the guy in orlando you contacted about one. $1000.00 is a good price did that include shipping and where did you get him from?

 

[von_rahvin]

how big of a tank? I guess you watch 007 christmas 1 to many times eh?? congrats. they are beautiful fish when they are not chasing you up from the bottom

NOVICE150,
Do you plan on adding any other types of fishes/sharks?

 

[novice150]

Aquaticdesign: Are you the friend of splash's I called? I would assume so, since you posted about his baby.
1000 did not include shipping. I know that I paid a little more for this shark than I would have if I had waited. I got a little impatient, and tired of people not coming through. But hey, it was worth it
VonRahvin: 1650. I have never seen the movie your refering to. Just really like sharks.
Kev: I have 3 other sharks in the tank with him. A bamboo that I hatched from an egg, a 15" horn shark, and a 12" Leopard.
I might add a few tangs and groupers to add some color to the tank.

Keep posting more pics!

 

[leopardshark]

can you please get me drawings and dimensions . thanx

 

[novice150]

Moray: Will do
Leopardshark: I assume you are asking for drawings and dimensions of the tank? If so, check out my homepage. It has pictures and some descriptions from day one. I also have another link to a site where a friend of mine put up pics of my tank, and I wrote a detailed description of the construction process.
I do not have any drawing or blue prints for the tank. Let me know what your looking for and I'll try to help out.

 

[novice150]

Here's one of the bamboo and horn.

 

[jim27]

Whats up novice. Nice sharks. I'm glad to see you've finally realized your dream. Thats a hella cool looking blacktip. The horn and bamboo pic reminds me of my tank(i miss my brown banded bamboo )
Anyway, nice tank and good luck with the sharks.

 

[hnf2k]

im still waiting for the picture we were promised of you swimming with the sharks.
congrats on the sharks btw, looks great.

 

[jim27]

Hey novice, how much was your horn? I paid $200 for mine, which is about 16-17".

 

[novice150]

HFN2K: I wont be swimming in the tank until the shark gets used to his home. He's still a bit skittish. But, I will keep my promise
Jim27: I paid $90 for mine. My lfs had it, and couldn't get it to eat so they were happy to get rid of it. Of course, they had it in a 20 gal tank with 2 triggers.

 

[jim27]

Wow, I wish I could have found a deal like that. I thought $200 was a little high but hey, I didn't pay for it(it was a gift) and it was eating well in the store tank and looked healthy so whatever
