I can only imagine the sale bein only 5% off hahahaha. Oh well. Did you go to Tong's? how did you find out about the sale?

gmann21193

are there any rays that can be housed in a 150 Gallon tank? LOL probably not huh.

Newtankdude

not sure.

Any of the rays that I mentioned above could survive in a 150g, but it would have to be a shallow 150, and you'd have to put a few powerheads in. They get to be about 2 to 3 feet long, and I think that counts tail (which about doubles their length), so they end up being about 1-1.5 feet wide. They need room to maneuver on the bottom, so that means that the tank's narrowest side should be at least 3 feet. The display tank at the aquarium is a 4-5 feet diameter circle, and holds three rays throughout the day (I think they get moved to a different tank overnight, but I could be wrong).

5% that's funny ! Not worth the trip down there ... I heard about the sale through a fellow reefer. Hey There's a 4th of July sale at Strictly Fish also, usually 30% off everything ! I find out the detail this week.

gmann21193

when you get the details let me know...... there is one right by me. Have you heard good things about that place or ever been there? I've never been there before

To anyone in Sydney, Australia, there is a fish stor in Tarren point , think it is called MAJESTIC MARINE or MAJESTIC AQUARIUM or something...it has a 12foot x 4foot x 3 foot shark tank for sale.... the complete set up is going for $15000AUS
complete with about 4 blacktip reef sharks, 3 white tip reef sharks, 1 large wobbegong shark, a few bamboo sharks. it is amazing!!
it is impressive and is a major draw card to the shop... they have a daily feeding show at 3pm which gets the kids in there and they let the kids feed them using long pincers so they dont loose any arms haha..

it was truly mind blowing, the sump was 2 x 4foot tanks underneath with the biggest protein skimmer i had seen, about as tall and wide as me!!!

some heavy duty equipment!!

i have a video of it i will post it from work tomorrow!

i was tempted to sell my car to buy it.. hahaha...girlfriend threatened me though!!!

Deejaysims

here is the vid as promised!! very impressive!!

i dont think i could find room in my house for a 1077 Gallon tank lol. Id probably sell the sharks and fill it with a school of 500 neons lol.

sirdarksol

That would be pretty cool, too, especially if they all schooled together.

Deejaysims

yeah come to think of it a GIAGANTOR fresh water tank would look amazing too!!

500 neons schooling together would be an awsome sight!

I'de be tempted to tansfer the family swimming pool into salt water.... be large enough to have a school of sharks..would take a while to de-clorinate and cycle the mamoth pool filters but would be a great sight!

not sure if the council would be too happy unless it was 100% locked up and safe so people couldnt accidently fall in... lol

COBettaCouple

yea, that would be a sight..

gmann21193

but then how would you see all the life? through the water surface? deosnt sound good to me lol. maybe you could set up tours of your tank with loads of scuba gear lol it would pay for itself... $500 per dive in my reef pool! haha

COBettaCouple

lol.. that idea works for Disney over at EPCOT

Deejaysims

yeah goto get some good public liability insurance though!!

COBettaCouple

yea.. or have mouse police to haul you into the underground tunnels if you make trouble.

I really think that's a bit cruel for such a big fish, and natural predator.
I have a thing for sharks..
