Way to vague to give anything useful as an answer!
How big is going to be? What dimensions?
What kind of sharks? Do you have room to run the filteration remotely like a large sand filter?
Give us as much as you know! If you don't know any of this it's way to early to be asking about pumps, filtration, etc.

i want it to be at least 2000 gal...no general dimensions,,,,horn sharks,,epalette sharks,,,thats the thing i dont know what kind of filtration to run on something that big...or what kind of pumps for the filter or circulation....any info is good,,,i just want a general idea
Aquatic Eco Systems has all kinds of heavy duty pond liners for aquaculture application. I have often thought that it would be very easy to create a pond / lagoon with cement block and use decorative block for the exterior. This would give you view from above only but if it wasn't too deep, it could be very cool and not horribly expensive. That fish Place in Pennsylvania has a lagoon for Flying Gunards and spotted rays like this and it is very cool. The filtration could simply be next to it. Run a huge fluidized bed reactor / a carbon reactor / and a protein skimmer and you should be fine.

i have a 750gl shark pond...framed with studs...bottom on slab...i have a 1hp dolphin pump as a closed loop running a DIY skimmer...used heavy 45ml liner folded corners...shaped a little like a homebase...lit by (3) 400mh and 300lbs of rock...been running for 2yrs now with no problems...still havent gotten and new sharks for it, just eels and grouper with some soft corals right now...temp gets a little high in summer 84...hope your basement is larger than 1000sf or humidity in the winter could be a major issue..Good luck

pufferqueen has a shark pond as well about 1000 gallons i think...
I think she (im guessing a "she" because of the name.. lol) based it after anthony calfos instructions on hwo to build one for 200$ - roughly.. Let me look for the link
