after leaving for a year now, its safe to say, ive missed it..:cry:
im coming back into the marine world; but this time, ive already started my build, it was put on hold for months, but i totally forgot all
the machinable factor of the reef keeping world,
im building a indoor pond . 92x40x30 , weird dimensions i know hah , but leaves me 480ish gallons..first indoor marine pond, but have always kept larger tanks,
hoping zoo diver can chime in on this on some of the questions,
plumbing?
filteration?
which sharks and rays would best be suited for this? would like to get a smooth hound, or an eppie,
water flow,
sump or no sump ?
and a pool filter? yes or no ?
please help! :)
i wanna do it right this time,

Very nice build, what materials are you going to use?
As far as filtration, 480 gallons is boaderline pool equipment use size. A small sand filter would be nice. As for plumbing, where do you plan on having the return and overflow/skimmer boxes?
Epaulettes would be perfect for this size pool.

Smooth hound would not be able to live out its life in there, eppies are a possibility depending on what type
