Ok, so I am having a case built for me. It is a peanut-shaped pool that is roughly 22 feet long, 3 ft deep, 9 ft wide at the ends, and 4 ft wide in the middle. Kinda hard to explain. I believe this will give a few sharks and a ray ample room, and I mean a FEW, like 3-4. I have done a couple weeks of research on black tips, smoothhounds, leopards, and a few other species. The info on the blacktips is a little shady on compatability w/ other sharks. Maybe you can help me. My friend has 3 blacktips by themselves, one of which is going to me. I will take the smallest one which is about 27 inches. Pretty cool b-day present eh? So ANYBODY w/ knowledge or experience w/ these guys PLEASE give me input. The pool goes in a couple weeks. The lights are already up. I'm getting pretty anxious, I WANT MY SHARKS!! Thanx!

I'm sorry I can't help with your questions, but I would love to see some pictures of the whole thing from filtration to lighting.:jumping: :jumping: :jumping:

I know novice150 has a black tip in with a horn shark, and bamboo shark. He had a leopard in there and it got killed by the black tip. Also almost everything he put in with the black tip was killed.

I'm just curious as to how much this set up is costing you? I have a building that is roughly 40 by 20 ft and am kinda wanting to build some sort of pool, but I don't know what species I want to house. Is your set-up in ground or above ground, and how are you building it? OK I just reread you post. I guess it is above ground. So, the next question is- would an inground be better or cheaper? If you would like to just send me somewhere to read about building ponds that would be fine.
