Request for help - new shark tank build
 
Hi all! New to the forum, but not the hobby.

We're building a new shark tank as a centerpiece display in our new home. The goal is to be able to house white tips, amongst other suitable species.

This tank has been a dream for a while, and we're lucky that we have an extremely flexible budget and space for thousands of gallons. Are there any shark experts that would be willing to talk through the proposed tank setup/design? Greatly appreciate it - don't want to spend too much money on the wrong design, and want to make sure the animals have an environment that they can thrive in.

Well we need your budget and your capacity for starters.

Fortunate that the budget is generous/ flexible. As of now, we were thinking something 8 feet in diameter and 20 feet high.

You'll probably need to change those dimensions. Generally length and width are more important than hieght. A smaller species that might be easier to get and house would be atlantic sharpnose sharks, Rhiziprionodon terraenovae. If you haven't found them the experts at https://www.sharksupply.com/inquiry.htm may be helpful. Their email is
