Hey everyone! So a little while back I had a shark and stingray pond pop up local to me. Having always had the dream to try them, and the finances to support it I pulled the trigger. Unfortunately I live in an apartment so i had to rent a unit to keep the pond in. I found a unit that was "temperature controlled" and had power and was willing to allow me to put the pond inside. Unfortunately i quickly learned the electrical system sucks, and everytime the heater would kick on it would pop the breaker for the unit, and water temps would be in the low 60s in the morning. So now the pond is currently taking up my living room while I find a new plan. Unfortunately I think that means rehoming these guys and getting back into it when i have a house and a garage.

The shark is a male, and he is awesome. Hes about 2 years old, and has lived in an 8'x5' pond his whole life. He eats frozen like a pig, and is all around healthy and happy. Im asking $1150 shipped on this guy. (Would prefer local pickup, but willing to ship after planning around weather)

The hallers ray is a wild caught so exact age is unknown. He eats frozen like a pig, and is always wanting to be social. The grey ray is already sold. Asking $275 shipped on this guy.

While i was doing a fairly large water change and cleanup of the pond today I grabbed this video while i was feeding em since the level was low enough to actually get a nice clear video. As you can see by the algae, the water level is normally much higher, but ive only got it about 16" deep when full to normal depth. I do 50% water changes using diluted water (1.022 from 1.026) from my reef to do it.

Argg!! I wish I had a tank, like 300g! I really like epaulette sharks, one of my favorite sharks (after pyjama and thresher), I really wanna set up a 300g when I'm older with eppie shark and tangs! Or maybe I could just setup a saltwater pond lol
