Shark adding

[Cheese Griller]

Only 70lbs or live rock now, 240lbs of sand, I’ve been keeping an eye on the parameters and they haven’t swayed out of the norm. Im stepping up on water changes. I still have a giant UV and skimmer. And of course filter socks
Edit: also a refugium

Glad to hear it! Regardless, a 13" ray is already low key pushing it in a tank that size, it's already half of the tank width front to back and it will start getting stressed as it grows due to lack of turning room. You've mentioned upgrading a few times in your previous threads- it would have been a better idea to wait for the upgrade on the ray, especially with such a delicate species like the blue dot since they already have very poor survival rates in captivity, which will only be compounded in a smaller environment.

That would be awesome, I’ll have to start researching that

I have a great white in a small pool.

Yeah, I saw he has claspers though, so hopefully he’ll stay smaller. I’m still trying to figure out how to preserve the heat in the winter, and limit humidity

I’m interested in 2 different types of sharks atm. The Japanese leopard, and grey smooth hound. My lfs has both at 8”, I want to add one of them to my 240. I’m aware that both get huge, so how long could I care for them in this tank until I’ll either upgrade to a pond, or donate to my local aquarium (who takes donations)

Where is you lfs I been looking for one ore the others around that size I use to have a coral cat shark that just passed after 9year and looking for a new shark

NYaquatics, located in Yonkers NYC. They ship across the country-best prices around, live sales every Sunday on insta and FB. Often 50% off then. That’s where I got my blue dot ray from, almost a month now. Most pass away within first few days
