shark care(updated!!)

do you think ill need a chiller? i live in breckenridge and it never gets above 80 here even in the summer. we are looking for a ato top off but just buying a large container and then DIYing the actual top off system. we are putting large nets over the tank for jumpers. also what type of filtration? theres a guy that used to have a large tank that has a 170 gallon canister filter that kinda looks like a propane tank, would that work? also the tank is kinda shapped like a really long D would that be round enough? we could always change things around. i could put a smaller sump(200 gallons?) under the tank along with the large canister filter. we already have 2 tons of very fine sand, not live tho but who cares its reef sand. also the nos harp rocks brings up the question again on how i would scape the tank? and what rock to use?

 

yes these are very pretty we are thinking of adding one or two. here is a list of some fish that we are thinking would be able to put in the tank. this is not a final stocking list
clown triggers
niger triggers
maybe if noney is left over a crosshatch
undulate trigger
porcupine puffer
golden puffer
striped dogface
any tangs?
naso
clown
unicorn?
any angels?
emporer
blue face
koran
majestic
regal
raccoon butterfly?
panther grouper
other groupers
volitan lion
sharks/rays /other fish

this list is not final in fact more of just a this is what i could put in it list haha. i might not end up putting alot of these fish in there. and i might find some others we wanna put in. just thinking. any comments on fish to add?

 

no butterfly if you want a shark in there.many big tangs will do good along with angels.look into big eels to;D

 

ya were thinking of a large banana eel or just a classic green moray.

 

big wrasse are good to(if their big enough)

 

what would be some good wrasses, i was thinking insidiator

 

well the formosa wrasse is cool along with ...
red breast wrasse 16 inches
red coris wrasse 16 inches
broom tail wrasse 20 inches
dragon wrasse 12 inches
insidator will work 21 inches
twin spot or clown coris wrasse these are huge around 47 inches for an adult!
surge wrasse 18 inches
tusk fish 10-12 inches
these might\will work

 

any thing less than 16 i think wouldnt be large enough

 

there are plenty to choose from that get over 16 inches;D try the one that gets 47 inches! that would be awesome;D

 

when i went scuba diving there was a giant grouper that was bigger than like all the sharks in the tank. it was like 15 feet long!
