What type of sharks can fit in at 180-220?
and what type of predatory fish go well with them.

 

[M3AN ONE]

I have heard triggers and puffers are no good does anyone know why?
Also what kind of live rocks would you guys recomend.

 

[gotsnow]

i have a sohol tang, blue line grouper, niger trigger, and a black lionfish. had a gray bamboo, but after 7 yrs he picked up an infection. looking at a lepard and a smooth hound to come soon

 

[rgonzales]

Im no expert but arent smooth hounds and leopards bad ideas for regular tanks

Oh and also what type of coral and live rock if any.

You will want your tank to be at least 1.5 x sharks length in width(average figure). Being 6ft wide is good, but you are going for a good foot print. Will you upgrade your tank in the future? You can fit some sharks now if you plan to upgrade to a larger setup. You should be looking into Cat/Bamboo Sharks or possibly an epaulette.

You want as little rock work as possible and a smooth substrate. Triggers and Puffers may bite the shark/eyes and curing the infection/wound takes alot of skill and knowledge(I don't have it...haven't had any issues luckily). Maybe Josh or Matt will chime in with more info for you.

I was not planning on upgrading the fish tank
the base demenisons are 6feet by 2feet
Stock for 180 Gallon
1 Panther grouper
2Banded Cat Shark
1Tessellata Moray eel
1Dragon Moray eel
The live rocks woud be there obviously for the eels

Banded bamboo sharks get 3'plus and need much larger than your proposed tank.

I thought the biggest they get was between 24-26 inches so I figured the tank would be just big enough.
Are there any sharks that can fit in a 180?

Look at the shark stickes on recommended tank sizes, page 7. you might get away with a coral catfish.
