These guys lay TINY eggs. They are a bit longer/skinnier in shape compared to the bamboo. I'm sure you'll see breeding soon.

Thanks for the words of encouragement Zoodiver! I just finished welding the structure of the stand today, The frame is getting pretty hot so i'm gonna let it cool off for the rest of the day and button everything up tommorow. This stand uses alot of different material sizes and some "reclaimed" material from older jobs but should do the trick. If anything it is extremly overbuilt, just how i like em :)

The odd bracing on top is for the center overflow box. The braces are also spaced so they fit directly underneath where each "butt joint" of acrylic meets on the dbl bull nose. The bottom sheet of my tank is actually 5 pieces "butt jointed" together so there is a support beam placed directly underneath each of those seams aswell. Note: it is sitting on 4 green metal 4x4's thats not part of the stand, thats my ghetto welding platform lol....hope these pics help someone building a metal stand out there :) Always take the time to think of plumbing, doorways, and support beams so everything comes out right the first time.

What would u guys do?

I used 100 gal old cycled water and 200 gal new salt water so far. Some old and new sand and 30-50lbs of rock from other tanks. Should i use the sharks existing water (200gal) to make the full 500 gal and drop them in or would it be better to make it almost all "clean" water and wait it out to fully cycle. The 300gal currently in the tank is probably ready soon. Its been running with a sponge filter and 1200gph pump for a good week mixing it all up. Hope my debate makes sense hah...thanks in advance
