i took these this morning after the water cleared up from cleaning it last night.

none of the lights were on but they still came out ok...

Enjoy

Here is my Sailfin that has been out grown by my sargent! omg the sargent was half the size a while back... He must be stealing all the food ;p

so do you plan on making your tank bigger to keep up with the sharks I thought that they would get way too big otherwise that is super cool

It's a 300 gallon tank, they'll be fine as the sharks i chosse will not outgrow it.

It's 96" long 30" w and 24"h i went with the 30" width instead of the heigth to give them room to swim side to side which is more important than vertical height :cool:

again the sharks i have are not very active swimmers.

I wouldn't put smooth hounds or leopard sharks in here as they should be left in the ocean....

all though i would like to have a tank some day to house some active swimming sharks... :)

...nerd! Naw i'm kidding, thats a sweet tank!!! freakin huge! my friend used to have a predatory tank like that, with a shark a ray, then an eel. In the end, the eel ended up chewing up the other two.

There is another large rock on the other end of the tank... I try to keep it open so the sharks have plenty of room to swim. :up:

Those Sergeant Majors are nasty buggers. I literally have marks on my arms and legs from my recent trip to Bermuda. All the nice tangs, parrots etc. kept their distance and posed for pictures. Not the SM's though...they tried eating me for dinner.

Nice set up.

Yeah he's a feisty little sucker that's for sure!
The Sailfin and Pacific Blue dont take no crap from him tho... He used to be smaller than them both so i think they put him in check a while back ;p
