Sharks grow fast. Your reef sharks will grow from 15 to 20 inches within 1 years time. So unless you are rich and can fork out the money to build him the habbitat he deserves don't even think about buying one.
Saying that you will just buy a new tank for him when he is big enough is the answer I would expect from a teenager. If you don't have the proper facility to keep him in now don't buy one now. In other words... if you don't have a 1800 gallon tank now don't buy one.

Don't be selfish and irresponsible. You know as well as we do that your setup will not work with these sharks. Otherwise, you wouldn't have bothered to ask. I dont know what kind of crap that your LFS has fed you but they just want your money, believe me. I've been there. There are plenty of cool sharks out there, why go with one that demands so much and is so expensive?
