Don't worry, there will be some pictures eventually, but this project will take at least one year to complete, not counting legal stuff, such as getting a permit, etc. But it will be one of the greatest things in the hobby...........hopefully.

I am gettting a black banded bamboo shark. I am going to buy a 180 gal tank for it, I know some peeps will not like that but: as bamboo sharks in the wild live in small tide pools and wedge themselves into rocks all day long. During low tide they will even wash up on the shoreline and as a result have this special ability to shut off certain sections of their brain for up to 12 hours or until high tide. Even the way they wobble around on their limbs suggests they are built for rocky crammed reefs. They are not requiem sharks which need to swim to breath. Point and case these animals were built to live in small spaces.

That doesn't mean put them in a 20 gallon aquarium it just means imo they need a lot less space than people bash about.

Oh BTW LISTEN UP:

Sharks can sense any metal around or in the tank ( like stainles steel that is saltwater safe) Stain less steel is used in many saltwater aquatic items. If there is metal in the tank it will drive the shark insane. Its all in the marine aquarist by Robert M. Fenner.
