Well, here it goes, in three months roughly I will have a 100gal to a 110gal saltwater aquarium. Now I have plans, plans for a predator tank, I've made a list of fish I'm interested in, and requirements and the like, I've done a lot of asking around on Pufferforum, and in the local aquarium stores available to me (which is Big Al's).
My intention is to have either a shark, or an eel. Specifically, a Banded Bamboo Cat Shark, and possible a Jeweled Moray Eel, or a Snowflake Eel. I looked at other fish, but there are a lot of things for me to consider, such as compatibility, and the like. That, and because my folks were freaking over my first selections, (he he he, this was because I wanted extreamly venamous/dangerous fish, such as a Clown Trigger, and a Lion Fish, and a Porcupine Puffer, he he he) But seriously, I do love sharks, and have always wanted one, and the eels are beautiful creatures.
Now, my plans are to have very few corals in the tank, Live rock, of course, and maybe a few tough corals that wont get hurt easily. Either by the fish or my inexperience with them. But I do not want to do something stupid and kill them off, nor are they necessary with the fish I'm planning.
I'd also appreciate it if anyone could give me a basic equipment set up list for this sort of an aquarium. I can do my own reaserch, but it seems that every time I think I've got it all sorted out I discover something I missed:S
This is it in a nutshell. Any questions? And especially: any advice? Are Sharks and Eels compatible? I've read that they are, especially with the species I'm into. So, yea. Thoughts are good:D
