They are good for corals. It helps that corals shed fish i dont think care. So depending on what kinda tank your going to have is what you need. Look at my thread you would benifit from the eletric pump i am trying to design, if you plan on keepiing corals you will need a ton of water movement. '

If it's not going to be a reef tank I would say no. Most people build them out of trash cans. They're pretty big.

I think you'll find keeping corals with a bamboo shark a rather "pain in the arse" experience. I speak from experience.
