not many people do try because of the cost and many would rather do a 600 gal reef. hehe
A guy named danger dave inquired about them before and said he was going to try them, but he skipped around and always changed his mind so i doubt he did.

i wouldnt even want a shark, i mean i can buy a jar of prime reef flake for like $3.00 but cant imagine buying frozen fish for each day. and if you did get a tank that big, why not do a large fish only with triggers, puffers, tuskfish (very pretty), and other colorful active easier to feed and maintain fish?
