What size is your hospital tank?

[skatin707]

A friend of mine needs to use one of my empty tanks as a hospital tank for a roughly 8" bamboo shark. I've got a 55 and 75 that are not in use, would either of those be sufficient?

I know, a 75 isn't a suitable home for a shark, but this will be for 2 months (i think, I don't know exactly what's going on). I'm not the expert, I'm just trying to help out.

Not a shark guru but a 75 seems sufficient for an 8" water creature for a short time

Shouldn't be an issue

Like I said, I'm just trying to help out. If I had a bigger tank to loan him I absolutely would.

To me, 2 months seems like a long time. However, what does a typical bamboo shark of this size grow in a couple months? I can't imagine it's a whole lot, maybe a couple inches?

There will be an eshopps PSK-100 skimmer, a refugium, and a canister filter maintaining this tank, so water conditions should be pretty great.

Thanks for the input guys!

75 would be fine as a holding tank for a little bit.

Thanks Zoo, and everybody else.

I'm doing research on sharks. Such fascinating creatures, no wonder they are classified as expert only.
