oh man ... i think u have to live in landed property to have a tank that big.. probably need to build a basement to hold the tank as well unless the land of your house is like 8000 sq ft ? or bigger maybe it can fit into the living room :lol:..

btw that shark looks pretty fat. lolz...

see that pic i just post, it longer then 15 ft and its at his house. although not in singapore.

Actually the pic you posted is a 15 ft tank. He was on reefcentral for a while and there was a lot of controversy on his tank simply because it was not a suitable tank for black tips.

Too many high rockwork structures and corals and not enough swimming space for the shark. There's a famous book written about the care of sharks...tho i can't recall the title, it has specific information on minimum sized tanks and how the scapes should be to avoid injury to the sharks etc...and the first thing on it was on low and scarce rock work and enough swimming space for the shark, which is clearly not present in the guys tank.

Don't get me wrong...it's a magnificent tank with corals, many tangs, other fishes plus the shark and the look is amazing but just cos something looks great doesn't make it right. Of course he feels otherwise but if one truly cared about the well being of the shark, it should be out of that tank.

So far i've only seen one private home owner that has a tank suitable for sharks...and it was posted in RC sometime back....i believe it was a 20x7x4 tank that was specifically designed to house them. wish i could dig up that picture....if i can...will post it up.

But bottom line....no dough?....no go man! ;)

i think a bird kept in a 1 feet cage is worse than keeping a shark in a 15 footer tank.

The only pictures i have with me are of the sharks themselves and not great photos.

The tank is at a nightclub on Soi 4 Sukhumvit. If anyone is really intrested I could take you in during the day. If i get time i'll go take some photos of the setup. It's probably longer than 15 foot.

:o wah, u sure u check out the sharks or perhaps more exciting 'underwater creatures'. :yeah::evil::lol:

      Thanks for all the queries and it is overwhelming. I decided to close this thread for now to better structure how the decomm is going to take place progressively. Sorry that I may not be able to response to all and hope to seek your understanding that this will have to be carry out in stages to minimize disruption to the livestock.
