Whole shark tank set up?

[bogkennels]

What type of filtration will I need to upgrade to, to turn my 300 gallon into a shark set up? Basically I would like any information on the whole set up for a shark tank. Like filtration, skimmer, chillers etc. what brands too? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

I dont have sharks but here is what I can think of so far.
Skimmer- the best, largest skimmer you can get since they are large and messy.
Chiller- depeds on the species of shark. Some like cooler water, some are reef species. Keep it at the cooler end of your species temp range.

Basically, you need at least some live sand, and almost no decoration, depending on species. Some more lethargic sharks need a cave to hide. As far as turn over rate, I would go with at least 1000 gal/hr. for the semi-active species. Other than that, youre on the right track. If you narrow your selections down a little maybe we can help you get an answer.

I would add a UV sterilizer to the list also.
