shark filtration

[smoney]

i have a reef tank right now and have a shrak egg which will hatch in about a month and a half and i need to upgrade my filtration so what kinda filtration should i get. im looking in to a wet/dry filter but what or how big should it b for a 50 gallon.

are you just making the upgrade for your shark and do you plan on keeping the shark in your reef tank?

i have had the egg in my possession for about two weeks now and it is still alive and moving in its egg. and yes i plan to have the shark in the reef tank too. so what kind of filtration is nice?

uhh a shark in a 50 gal... wont that be a big problem.. especially a reef tank where there wont be a lot of sand substrate and swimming room? :notsure: do you plan to get a much larger tank soon?

a 50 gallon tank for now is plenty of room for a shark. even a 20 gallon long would be good for a shark for right now but your going to have to make sure you upgrade his tank when he grows. I got 4 shark eggs now in a 29 gallon thats ready to hatch any day now I have been holding onto them for almost 3 months. As for the filter. you can use anything really. I been using the new cascades 200 and 300 model but if your going to filter a 50 gallon I would go with an emperor 400 which you can buy them online for like $40+shipping
