awesome tank evo
"Please don't listen to novices. (sorry siren)
I suggest you consult the expert:
Read "Aquarium Sharks and Rays" by Michael Scott.
This expert suggests the smallest tank is a 180 gallon. In this tank you could keep one to two bottom dwelling small sharks, such as epillet or bamboo sharks."
ok, lets get a show of hands, how many people have successfully kept a shark longterm? What size tank was it? and I dont wanna hear jack about what Scott Micheal wrote in his book,

Yes, put as little rock as possible in the tank.
Thought I'd hi-jack this thread with a question. Right now I have a 14 inch bamboo shark who has been eating well and thriving in a 120 gallon 60x18x25. I'm looking into getting a bigger tank and I am interested in a wide tank from glasscages.com 290 gallons 72x36x25. How is that for size? I guessing the extra width will be great. The new tank will be in in the basement so it coud be a squeeze. I have tangs in my 120 now thinking of adding a harlequin tusk and some other fun big fish.

The Extra width will be good, your problem is that those sharks grow to 40" total. Which is why I stick with the coral cat sharks (Atelomycterus marmoratus) which only grow to a length of 27"

Port Jackson are cold water sharks.
You want a warm water shark.
Get a coral cat shark.
Another good choice is a white spotted bamboo.
They have better adult coloration and are a little smaller than brownbanded bamboo sharks.
