hey guys someone offered for me to hold some sharks for them, I have a 180 that is completely empty it's 7'x2'x2'
How many black tip sharks could I hold at like 24" to 36" sharks?

2 or 4?
 
So the full system is 180, 2X 55 gallons and a 100 gallon sump 3hp chiller apex gold system, 3 MH over the 180 10k led strips over the 55 gallons and kessil over the sump for alage groth. So it's a system that is close to 390 gallon system. Have not chosen a skimmer yet.
It could be larger than 180 being that it's 7'
 
I will admit that I haven't personally kept sharks, yet. Plan on getting one in the next few weeks.

But in all of my research, a blacktip is a very active shark. Most people say a 40ft tank will be a nice size to house them for life. For two weeks I would not put them in that tank. They will be very stressed from being in that tiny tank. I presume it also doesn't have rounded corners and it will probably smash itself up pretty bad.

Full size of the system doesn't really matter. It's the size of the tank they'll be kept in.
 
Blacktips will not be able to deal with the corners of the tank, either. And as others stated it is not long enough.
