black tip reef sharks

[fishieness]

ive never been to sea world. But i jsut got back from tampa and i went to the aquarium and they have a humungo tank with lepard sharks, black tips, a nurse shark or two, and even 2 tiger sharks!! its awsome! Some of the tanks where much to small though. There were 2 nurse sharks, probably about 2 feet each, in a tank no bigger than 55 gallons. That made me sad

We (my work) have a 10 foot Sand Tiger in our shark pool. Our setup is a giant ring where we can change the flow direction/current. It allows the large pelagic sharks to continue swimming as though they are in open water. It holds 225,000 gallons.

I have been very impressed with your shark tank fishnerd. I make it a point to visit the aquarium several times a year just for the sheer fun of it. The Inner Harbour is a great place to spend a day, too.
