How do you maintain a 3000g, and what if you need to go in there to fix a pipe or unclog something since you have sharks?

How many sharks do you have? Do you think that adding another might be a little to much? | |

I'm not so sure its full grown. It looks like a black tipped reef shark although it could be something else. www.boattalk.com/sharks/blacktipshark.htm

The black tips are no longer in the tank, I think he gave them to the aquarium zoo about five years ago. The old leopard shark, I'm not sure what happened to him, but he's gone too. So this leopard shark he is looking for will be the only shark in the tank.
Thanks Jason for the info, I'll pass it along.  | |
