3000 gallon tank!!!!
- Thread starter Mr salt

I'm only going to giggle slightly. And that really wasn't my point.
Take the cost factor out of the equation. It still takes time, planning, and let me tell you, you'll be lucky to have the time to come on here and ask for stocking advice, once your multi-thousand gallon tanks are running.
Trust me, set up the tank first.

Not a professor in English. Judging by your typing skills.

Go to the large tank section of this forum and look at Hedgedrew thread. 2 builds totaling 30,000 gallons... Then you can see the time and planning and effort that REALLY goes into it, and he has a team of people working for him, including multiple contacts/friends at the Long Island aquarium. After rereading your first post your just dreaming especially since you want one of everything. Like Peter mentioned money aside the tank would consume your life. Wetsuit and scuba equipment to clean the tank. Skids of rock with cranes to put them in the tank and more boxes of instant ocean than you have ever seen. I guess next time I wake up from a dream I will post it... Kinda like you did :headwally:

Of those three, the tiger shark is actually the hard one to keep from my experience.
Just sayin'.

I was kidding obviously, but I know that you have first hand knowledge with most any shark (or you know more than most everyone) What aquarium that you have worked for/with has a Tiger shark, or is this something you have attempted on your own?

Yeah, I was just adding to the sarcasm.
There are a few places in the US that have had tigers over the years. I first started working with them when I was collecting sharks for the 'Mundo Maya' expansion for Dallas World Aquarium. Bimini Biological also does a lot of work with young tigers.
Edit: Had to go back and dig out an old pic while I was thinking about it.

I had a friend with a 1000 gallon tank and a queen trigger that killed every other fish he had, include some other large/aggressive ones. To the other extreme, you have some very passive fish such as the eels, that won't get a chance to feed even if the other fish don't kill them.
For a small tank, I'd say pick a fish you really want and pick the others based on that. Even for a tank that big, I'd say the same advice applies.
