600+ Shark Lagoon

[buckel2]

thanks guys!

The tank is right in front of the sub-pump for the basement. So we drain it in there and let it pump it in to the field next to us. Makes things so easy. Also if the tank or plumbing ever sprung a leak it would just drain in to it.

I have a 300 gal a day RO unit. I am doing a 100gal sump with calurpa and live rock. Also a Fluval canister filter running carbon. I am currently looking for a skimmer to handle the bestly tub. Also looking for a large UV big enough to put on it. I am also looking in to a few other filtration options at this point. Using thick filter floss or bio balls as a extra filter. But I am trying to stay away from them.

Just bought another Eppi from a friend to day. He is looking good and ready to eat.

HI ALL!

O Man I almost forgot I had this thread on here! My computer broke and then my phone broke and those are the only way I can get on here. (other than when I'm working at the store) I have a new phone now so I will defiantly update everyone. I'm going to post pictures later tonight.

All is going well. The sharks are as happy as can be. No issues with the tank. I am keeping a close eye on my water quality because of how much they eat and everything always checks out perfect. Not to much done extra to the tank yet. I am putting off the final finishing touches to make the tank look pretty just in case something bad does happen. It would be just my luck I get the doors put on and make it look nice and then something would happen were I would need to take it all apart.

I now have Three Eppi sharks. 2 females and one male. I am growing a mangrove in the sump now also.

But... Ya... All is good!

FINALLY!!!!

Haven't done to much to the tub. Just the basics still. I am really not in a rush on this project. This being the first shark tub I didn't want to rush to make it to pritty just yet. Still a few kinks to work out.






Automatic pully system for the lid




The rocks were all neatly stacked so you couldn't see the PVC stand they are on. But the sharks decide to aquascape when they are bored.





Hard to believe I have had these two for about two years!

Sweet pics thanks for the update! Where did you get the tub?

My Little guy and gals!


I have 2 females and a male... every few days I see them trying to breed. They are to young of course but its still neat to see.













These guys are harder to take pics of. To fast for my camera phone.

I got the tub from reef paradise awhile back. It used to be some ones Koi pond. The store had no use for the tub so I bought it.
