Did you take it down due to the bowing? Are you planning another one? What kind of shark?

I needed a a bigger circular pond for the sharks. Thats a lemon and I got a bamboo and white spotted bamboo shark. I would like to upgrade again but I might be puttin it a side becuase of school.

Hmmm.
Sharkguy - How big is the circular pond?
And have you consider putting the bamboo sharks in the retangular 8' long pool.
This would give the Lemon more room.
The Lemons are generally thought to be slow growers.

So I'll take it the Lemon is about 2-2.5' in length.
With a 9' diameter pool - it will be okay untill it reachs 3' in length. Then you will have to upgrade.

sharkguy: so the blue tank is 9' diameter? Im interested in the same one. where di you get yours? what kind of skimmer? are you just running skimmer, wet/dry, and UV?
AC: I was worried about your structure when i saw it. I dont think those 2x4's will be enough.

im sorry i thought they looked like 2x4's, they arent 4x4's i know that much(maybe they are 2x6) . regardless youll be holding thousands of pounds, i reccommend more bracing. maybe double up your 2x6's.

im a little late but i recommend putting two liners , i know a guy that had a sharpie bite through his. im sure that is a very rare instance but i wouldn't chance a couple thousand gallons and your prized sharks to something simple.
