and how fine does the sand have to be for my bamboo tank

Your best bet would be to get a tank with the largest footprint you can afford, a 300 would do fine but at bare minimum a 220 could house the shark for a number of years just be prepared to upgrade should the need arise. I would suggest going with a sugar sized calcium sand as most elasmos do not like course bottoms. You should have about 3 inches of sand as this will be plenty for the shark but not allow wastes to build up.
Of course the usual advice applies about the best filter, skimmer, etc for the tank.
