No problem. My buddy has kept a 3ft zebra eel with a bunch of 2" clown fish and it has never once tried to eat any even when starved.

Get one. Your wont regret it.
They're shy and docile. They get a good 4-5ft as well but always hide in the rocks. I have some crabs in my tank and so far I've been lucky with them surviving. They've walked on my Zebra and under my puffer and survive no problems so far. I just put them in my reef though as I find them.

Going back the original question.... a brown banded bamboo will be 4' as an adult. At the width you asked about, it will touch both sides of the tank at the same time.
For filtration on a shark tank, the biggest thing to think about is mechanical filtration. Sharks can be messy, so the more you physically pull out of the water, the less you have to worry about waste breaking down and feeding the nitrogen cycle. Big canisters, sand filters and pt skimmers are the way to go from my experience.
For other lives stock....think filler fish. Small, cheap and schooling work well (chromis, anthias, grunts etc...). Avoid things that graze (like tangs and angels), as they will pick at shark eyes. Triggers and parrots also pick at sharks (as a general rule). Many eels, stingrays, groupers and other sharks also make great tank mates.
