Yeah. Though I did notice Deep Sea is now offering a 30" deep 180. Though even that would probably takes care of it for most of it's life, possibly not all. If it stays closer to 30" full grown you might be ok (mileage may vary) but if it gets up closer to 36" you'll need a bigger tank later in life. Some would say to shoot for a 220+ anyway if you want a shark that size. Everyone seems to differ on it. If they can get it into a 30" deep 180 then it'll be much happier, though if a person can get a 220 or 250 for it, then that'd be a better way to go.

Brown Banded Bamboos I personally think need atleast 400+ gallons. 180 will not even come close.
Yeah an adult Brown-banded Bamboo needs at least tank - that is 4ft
wide, to live in for life.
Occasionally sharks are known to go on periods of fasting - While this may not always be cause for concern. Sometimes there maybe causes behind the fasting which could be lead to possible health problems - such a drop in water quality, disease/parasite infections or aggressive tank mates.
Naturally you'll have to check all the options.

Justin_James is right these sharks are really agile when it comes to rock work because I have a bamboo myself and it somehow squeezes through the toughest of rockwork

While it's true that they can squeeze thru rockwork- a Bamboo shark should still have a tank that is wider than it is long(at it's max size). With a tank length being at least 2.5-3 times it's max length.
The still need some swimmiing room - even though it's native to tidal pools & rocky reefs.
Yes you right, I bought my shark at 12 inches just to be safe. Now it is 15 inches and looking healthy. Does any buddy have pictures of adult bamboo sharks?
