Hi Everybody,

I joined r2r a few months ago, and finally decided to get started waiting in the Des Moines airport after MACNA (sweet led's right?). I have a 210 gal mixed reef and a 300 gal epaulette shark system in N. Colorado.

Welcome to R2R! Pics please if possible. Would love to see the sharks since I no longer own a pair. :bigsmile:

I'll see if I can find some pictures when I get home. Our shark is staying with a maintanence company right now after her 300 gal bowfront cracked :sad:. We are designing a new larger shark system to replace it, and I would love some input from someone who has kept multiple sharks...(any problems you ran into, what worked or didn't, or anything you would have done differently)

I had 2 marble bambo sharks. They started out in a 125 as pups. IMO, I would have added some other type of live rock (like dry rock or even DIY rock), as my sharks were almost over run by bristle worms within a year. Other than that, I would have loved to have kept them, but the 300 I had coming for them never happened and I had to let them go to another keeper that had a 450. Mine were my pride at the time. Been talking to the wife on possibly starting a shark pond(6 wide x 8 long x 4 deep) out on our lanai (but don't think that will happen).
