| Re: shark pool
Personaly I would go with a large rectangle shaped "bait/Hatchery" tank.
Most sharksoecies like to swim the length and freeak out when they go in circles. Now for its placement. Unless you live in southern florida I wouldnt keep it any where but in a greenhouse or your basment.
Lage uncapped tanks out doors mean a larger surface area to cool off faster, thus warranting a much hotter climate than most other states have to be used out doors.
I know of SEVERAL peopl ein California and florida without door sharkpools.
I kno wa guy in sacremento who is using his swimming pool as a hatchery for HUGE green and silver scats.
ALSO....It's not the metal that the sharks dont like. Its the electricity it conducts.
Sharks posess millions of extra sensory nerves in thier latteral, as well as in their nose.
Power heads, heaters, filters, even artificial lighting can effect certain species unless it is grounded VERY VERY WELL.
Thats why you will NEVER see a hammer head shark, or great white on display in captivity. You may see a bonett head shark being passed off as a hammer head but you wont see a true hammer, or great white for this reason.
SOmake sure whatever youuse is insulated VERY VERY WELL, and that the tank has several grounding probes ( perferably on on each corner of a large tank).
HOpe this helps!
