330 Gallon Saltwater GrowOut

[Brenden]

Well, I finally decided to take some pictures of my 330 Gallon growout tank which was built dedicated to Sharks. Right now it does not have any of its "real" occupants in the tank, they are on the way as I am leaving next week for a trip and decided to have the shipment come in after I got back rather than have a trusty neighbour or friend try and take care of my Sharks lol Anyways the tank is 330 Gallons, dimensions are 84"x30"x30". The tank and stand were done by Derek Miracles Aquariums in Missasauga, Ontario, Canada. My tank has approx. 13,000 gph flow rate, 100 gallon sump, 20 gallon refugium, and a custom built protien skimmer by Saline Solutions, 40W UV Sterilizer, and a whole bunch of other random goodies. The current stock list right now is:

2 Occellaris Clowns
2 Clarkii Clowns
7 Green Chromis
1 Yellow Tang
1 Sailfin Tang
1 Vlamingii Tang
1 Harlquin Tusk

And a whole wack of clean up crew. Anyways, enough of the boring stuff and onto the few pictures I took tonight.

The Chromis and Clarkii's decided to call it quits early, I will get pictures of them later this week. As well as filteration if anyone is interested. Once the Sharks arrive I will post pictures of them as well, I just need to finalize permits, shipping, ect. to get them across the boarder.

Thanks, Brenden

Bgonz - Thanks, I was originally going to go with Atlantic Smoothounds. However I decided to do some research on Canadian laws and United States laws and may have found a new species to occupy my tank until my final pond is constructed.

Awesome pics. When are you getting sharks?

 

[Brenden]

Ewurm - I leave next Friday for a week. So I will be picking the Sharks up in Niagra Falls in late July. So in about 2.5 weeks.

Sounds like you'll be moving sharks the same time I am.
Nice looking set up!

great tank cant wait to see the sharks in it, wish i had the $$$ to have a 330g grow out

Taz2478 - My next "tank" will infact be a pond. Not sure on the exact gallonage however I am aiming for 5,000 gallons. I do not want to create to large of a system, however I would like one large enough to possible allow the sharks to breed. When I find a permanent home, I will construct my final pond which will be in the tens of thousands.

Matt - Thanks, what are your going to be moving?

Queenslander - Thanks, having a 330 can be alot cheaper than you think if you build a DIY pond / tank.
