    So I found this on craigslist for $750. Do you think this will be worth it and able to host sharks as long as it holds water?

    It would have to be a long tank for sharks. Most recommend an 8' tank.

    Do you know the dimensions?

    A great price however.

    I still wouldn't do a shark in a tank this size.

    to be honest, I have seen the novelty of sharks wear off many times. People get them thinking they are cool but they don't do very much.

    Not sure on the stingray. Full grown, they get to 2', but honestly, I am not sure if that is in diameter or nose to tail.

    That is a deep dimension tank. It would work very well for rays, and small sharks. Wish it was a tad longer, but still great.

    yea I had a stingray before and it was awesome. They are very active. Never had a shark before and with this great deal thought it would be cool to have a shark/ray tank.

    Yea I was thinking the same thing, it would just be ridiculously expensive to light and all of the filtration on top of what I am about to buy for my 75 gallon reef.
