Check out aquaticeco.com for good sealers in a salt water application. They have a couple different brands that work well.
As for sharks, the Port Jackson does best at cooler temps, so you'll want to chill the water to between 65-70 degrees. I'd suggest coral cat sharks and cortez rays for a small pond with warmer temps.

I will check out that site later on have to do some stuff now

yeah i know what temp pjs are cause i have had 1 for like 3 months till i found someone with bigger aquarium would need a chiller for summers here
What kinda temp will the catshark and cortez ray needs?
they sound nice to :nilly: ann they didn't get that big as the pjs right?
have done allot of reading on sharks and rays before i bought one and couldn't affor a bigger tank at that time but now :nilly:

Yeah, I'll tend to agree with Matt. That pond would be better suited for Coral Cats & Cortez Rays. Also Australian Marbled Cats (Atelomycterus macleayi) would make a nice alternative to the Coral Cats.

As for the pond - you can still use a good fish safe pond liner. Just the one's used for Koi ponds.

Shipping epoxy paint from aquaticeco internationally is insanely expensive. I cant get Sweetwater epoxy paint locally so Im going to use High Build paint on my pond builds. It is a rubber paint water sealer that will bond with concrete and is saltwater safe. I would stick to tropical shark species since you are already having excessive heat and would invest in a chiller for safety. Keep the pics comin and good luck
 
Since when do they ship exotics over to Perth? I've only ever seen 2 PJ's in home aquaria. One 20 mins near me and another in Eastern Tasmania.
