I'd be interested in seeing what the room that holds this tank looks like.
Must be really cool for showing off....

Those are some great pix. i am dying to know how you built the tank. Are your sharks friendly, or if you put your hand in the tank will they eat it? I read that you were taking scuba lessons, so I figured that they must be semi-friendly. Those are so sweet!!!!

Thanks everyone.
Nick17: I've had the bamboo for just over two years, and the others around one year.
Grouperhead: I do have some close ups of the horn. They're on my home comp though, so I'll try to post tonight.
Daniel411: The pics of the leopard are old. Those are pics of the actual fight between him and the black tip (notice how banged up he is?). They later fought again, this time knocking off a strainer on a pump intake. The leopard was later sucked into the intake.
Leopard_babe: I don't think I'd call the sharks "friendly", but they don't bother me. I don't get into the tank, or stick my arms in, unless absolutely necessary. Even then, it's a big ordeal. I feed the sharks very well the day before (I don't want them smelling fish when I'm in there). Then I shower, no soap, and spend around 1/2 hour entering the tank. The key to not freaking them out, is not startling them... letting them get used to me being in there. I've recently added another two steps to my process. Diving weights.. So I don't float around, and tying the legs of my swimming shorts off. Last time I got in, the horn shark swam into my shorts. Right up the leg! I came out ok and so did he, but I wont be repeating that one.
Once I'm in they don't really seem to mind me. The black tip has swam right up to my face, looked at me, then swam off. Kinda cool actually.
Feel free to look here http://groups.msn.com/TheSharkTank/home.htm to see how I built it.
Toddpolsih: There's an old post of mine around here somewhere with pic's of the whole room. Nothings changed since then... still no carpet.
AC: If I remember right, the bamboo is just over two years old.
Jim27: So get another one!
