And 180 is the MINIMUM tank size. These babies get 4' long and are a high maintenance animal.
Having a big tank is not good enough. TOP END filtration is also required.
I was talking to an LFS once about them, and they told me if I spent on the proper set up, they would GIVE me the shark.
Sharks, due to their feeding requirements, can cause a clean tank to go dirty really fast.
Just a consideration.
The shark is cheap... but if you just want a shark because its cool... consider if you are able to actually keep it alive.
If you can. It will be an awesome display and I wish you luck.
I, myself, would love one... but I know that it is better left to HUGE aquariums.
Good luck. I hope you are truly prepared and not adding it to a tank not suitable.
Good luck in your hunting. Again.
