Is my tank a yay or nay?

You have how many sharks?? Dude- where are the pics??
Its a yay based on inhabitants and one concern is water quality and if you have this group of sharks (an early dream of mine), you then know about nitrate concerns and good filtration.

NOW BACK TO THE PICS . . . . . . . .

Feeding time for my sharks in my 420 gallon aquarium. Sorry about the quality as I have Kessil lights and they use a lot of UV which messes up the phone camera.

I have a Bubble Magus B12 (largest residential skimmer from BM), a Bubble Magus B9, bio pellets reactor and seachem purigen reactor. Nitrates were 16 last I checked.

Haha I'm up here in northern PA, snowing here now. Got the Convict tang from Petco actually fat and healthy. Surprisingly gets along great with my Epaulette tang.

That's a beast skimmer, is your tank the same dimensions as mine?

Quite the opposite, unfortunately. My tank is all-height. Otherwise I would have sharks and Rays. My dimensions are
5ft L x 3ft W x 4ft H

Update?

 

[Aspect]

He just kinda lays on the sand until I put food into the tank. Probably eats more then all my sharks combined.

He found himself a more suitable home on my powerhead. Still eats like a horse and also a lot of movement. Cool fish overall.

Hello, has anyone ever kept Remora or seen them for sale anywhere? I seen them on SharkandReef but I emailed and never got a reply and I heard they are a scam site. If anyone has information on these please let me know. Thanks.

I have one I could sell
