    that shark tank has a very strange similarity to the one we are planning, almost exactly identical. what types of sharks are in there?

    Bonnetheads are protected now, and extremely hard to ship alive. So no. I would do 3 or 4 Blacktips and a fiddler ray. Fish wise, some big swimmy fish, such as groupers, foxfaces, squirrelfish, tangs.

    No I meant plywood on 3 sides with acrylic front. That is what my friend did for his 1500 reef tank. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than all acrylic
