I think most of us can appreciate the desire to keep a blacktip, but... you need to do it right if you're going to try. A 300 gallon tank isn't going to work. In the mean time, go with a smaller species, save your money, and be patient.
There are a lot of shark veterans here (including myself). I think it's safe to say that the majority of us want to see new shark keepers be successful. However, we do want folks to do their homework, have the proper equipment, and consider what's best for the animal.
Good luck!

What is your current inventory looking like?

Currently I have two Atlantic sharpnose, two bonnetheads, one sandbar, and one Pacific blacktip reef shark in the 18000 gallons. I have finalized all plans and submitted the deposits to begin construction on my new lagoon in April. This monster will be a bit over 36000 gallons and will be 45 feet long. The whole lagoon will be housed in a solarium. The project should be finished in about six months, if all goes well. I have planned another collection trip to the south this summer to get a few more sharks.

Unknown, that is exactly how I did my present pool. I converted an above ground pool into a shark pool. For this new lagoon system I wanted to do something that would stop folks in their tracks and say WOW. I have been planning this for some time and finally have reached finacial stability to be able to do such. This will be one hell of a system when all is said and done.
Gas, you aren't the only one who has expressed some interest in going along. On two other boards (which I am a moderator on each, I might add) there have been a few folks asking to tag along. Luckily this year all plans have been finalized and set up well in advance, so I am very certain of where and when I will be there. I am also very fortunate in that I was able to rent a house on one of the very private islands down there and this island is one hot spot for both bonnets and sharpnoses, as well as blacktips, spinners, and black noses. Not to rub it in too much.

Hey, requiem SHUT THE FU** UP OK!!!
There is no reason for what you just said.
My mom works at the zoo and She is head of the aquarium division. So the shark WOULD have been under close observation by zoo employees.
Second. I already stated that I will not be even getting a shark tank due to the needs of the shark and it would not be fair to the shark.
You really need to read the WHOLE thread before you respond to one individual post!!
People like you make this world suck, and extremly annoying.
