Sharks are a huge PITA to keep man, I have a friend that owns a resteraunt (cowboy sharkies) so you can imagine he keeps sharks there, we have alot of issues with the tanks, really anything smaller than 200g and setup specificilly for them makes it even harder, I beleive the setup we're running on his is a 210g with a 40g fuge and 40g sump with a protein skimmer and a canister filter. It's impossible to keep a cleanup crew in the tank due to the shark eating them also, no shrimp, crabs or snails are safe in there _________ 24G JBJ Nano, 20# Live Sand, 40# Live Rock

I saw a nurse shark up close and personnel when I was diving off Belize a few years back. Could have sworn that it was at least 6ft, though I guess these things look a lot bigger when you're that close  | |
