Hi. I am new to this forum but not to saltwater aquariums. I am no expert but have successfully kept a 120 gal mixed reef tank for about 5 years. I am upgrading to a 220 gal tank. Diminsions are 72x24x30(LxWxH). Am am moving towards a FOWLR tank. I have been trying to research as much as I can on this but I am wanting to take care of a shark. I am looking at a brown banded or a coral cat. I have tried researching on forums and come up with a multitude of answers. I was told to get the book "sharks and rays" by author last name of Michael. I read the book then read another forum on a different site saying not to believe the suggested tank size but the rest of the other info is good. This gets confusing. I would consider the author is an expert by looking at his credentials and experience.
Now my question, what do you all think about keeping a brown banded or coral cat in the tank I listed above. Like I said, I am wanting help from people who have or had expierience with this, good or bad. I am not committed to this but would like to explore the option. As far as filtration, that is another topic and I am prepared to take on that expense and challenge. I apologize in advance if i am beating a dead horse. Thank you in advance.
Jim
