Would small sharks damage a pond liner?

[goldenswimmers]

I am looking at a nice big set up for some small sharks(epaulettes) and have looked at both large pools(due to metal being no good for sharks, have thought about a large frameless intex) and a diy wood/pond liner set up.I am just curous as to wether the small guys would damage the pond liner or the pool....last thing i want is leaking....also any tips on saltwater/sand in these set ups...do they erode faster or damage the lining?
Cheers guys...any thoughts appreciated

why dont you just paint the inside of your diy pond whatever color you want it and seal the pond with plexi glass, instead of a liner. it wont dry rot or take any damage from the salt.. because the liner will truse me. and you can seal the seams with acrylic glue for a good solvent weld.

I agree this would be better but i was looking more at an above ground pool with the pond liner inside it...unfortunately I have to be prepared in case of moves in the future due to not owning the house,etc so was looking more towards the above ground pool type of set up.

what about the above ground pools that use "salt" instead of chlorine, wouldn't they hold up since their made to handle salinity, i know its not quite the same but still.

aquarium center in clementon nj has a big indoor rubber-liner pond that had sharks in it for years. it has koi in it now, but i bet if you called them they could tell you what you want to know.

they're one of the absolute best local fish stores i've ever been to, stop in if you're near by!!

also, that rubber will last almost forever if it isn't exposed to direct sun. it's the same stuff that they use on roofs and it's supposed to last 30 years up there (although admittedly i have no clue what salt will do to it, if anything).

Many of the guys in the shark section run intex pools.
