Some pics of the inhabitants of my Tank.

Current tank is a 7'x2'x2' with 40 gallon sump. :D

This tank was originally set up as a reef tank for the first 2 years then I started to stray to the agressive fish and gave up my clams and hard corals.

I am now building a new tank which is 10'x4'x3' to replace my current tank and intend to use my current tank as the sump! :shock:

Hope you like the pics. :D

Hope you have a buyer for that shark.

It will out grow your tank. Sharks need tanks of 1000+ gallons to live happily and healthy.

Most aquariums and pet stores won't take sharks back either.

I would hate to see it die or suffer as it grows.

Nice pictures.. Is that a porcupine puffer???? Just wondering, they do not work well in a reef tank.. But looks like you may not be doing reef anymore.

HI

The Shark I have is an epaulette shark and is one of the smallest available. The min tank size recomended is 260 gallons and my new tank will be just over 850gallon not including the sump which is going to be my existing 7'x2'x2'. So it should be fine.

Also yes it is a porcupine puffer, I only have a few large soft corals in my tank now except for a couple of plate corals growing from my living rock.
The puffer and the Angel are fine and have never touched the corals. The only thing the puffer ever bites is me when I hand feed him, he gets a bit excited some times same for the snowflake moray.

What is that eel? I love it! When I was growing up, a local fish store had one similar to that, with big gnarly teeth and I could hold goldfish above the tank and the eel would come out of the water to get him from me. That was a fun thing to do at age 8. :twisted:

hehe, gotta love the porcupine puffer.. I love them , they can have such personalities.. Maybe one day I'll set up a tank just for one.. You've got a nice looking tank there. The new one is going to be just awesome. Where do you put these large tanks at in the house?

Hi Jeredh the eel is a Snowflake moray, these are the most common eels in the shops in England. They are generally available as small 6-7"long 1/2" thick. Mine is currently 2' long and about 1"3/4 thick. Although he looks aggressive he is a bit of a softy. Buy the way you were a cruel child!!! :twisted:


Hi Sandworm, the tank is in the living room, this is also where the new one will be going as well, I have a very understanding wife!!! The new tank will take up about 30% on the back half of the room. I will post some pics when it is done.
