hi guys
i'm brand new to monster fish and marine fish aquariums but i plan to keep a pair of epaulette sharks in a tank that 4 meters long by 2 meters wide and 1 meter deep.

now im pretty sure this is enough room for the sharks seeing as they have ample turning space and plenty of length to swim around in. i have also read heavly into the sharks and their care. i would just like to know if theres anyone whos kept these guys and can offer advice on their care and maintence i have also heard sharks are hard to look after but after looking into it i cant see whats so hard about you just have to keep the tank moving and have a very large tank. i also plan to add a large school of blue green chromis (minium 10) and a snowflake eel. so basicly i would like to know if this set up would work and if anyone has any tips on keeping both the eel and shark
thanks in Advance
 
Sounds like a good set up.

My only advice is get a good filter going and let the system run for awhile ( a month or two) before adding the sharks.
 
eel will be fine with epaulette, easy if if your system is set up correct as in large capable skimmer and alot of fitration media to cope with waste, power heads to keep waste in water column and on to filtration , good for shark locomotion to , keep sg, ph , kh constant, give sharks varied diet , supplement with vitamins, google sharks/ goiter, chromus will be to fast for eppy, nice size tank btw
 
Thanks for the info I have taken filtration into account and I'm pretty sure the chromis would be to quick for both eel and Eppie Also is there anything I could add fish wise to the tank
Thanks
 
Hey would anyone know some good supplements for the eppies and how often and what to feed them would also be greatly appreciated
