A quick google search returns somewhere in the ballpark of ~$1000-3000Just curious, what r the average prices for these sharks?

My suggestion is to go the shark ray central and look at the care profiles. The stats I posted are mostly from there and based on the studies and trial and error of experts.Looks like this thread has lost everyone's interest
I suggest white tip reef sharks. They should do fine in tanks that size. Pretty much the most sizable shark you can fit into that tank. You could easily get a few of them. They're not as active as the BTRS, but they are just as long.Okay I'll be contacting an expert thanks everyone for all the help. I don't think I will be doing a BRTS any more. I am going with a smaller shark (-:

If you let that discourage you, then yes, it is a good decision to give up.I am not sure I even want a shark anymore. I will cut the size and keep some pretty angelfish and other interesting fish.
I'm only listing possibilities. What you said is ultimately more correct, however I like to give as wide of a perspective as I can before narrowing it down. As for white tip reef sharks being particilarly powerful? Well yeah, pretty much every shark is solid muscle. As long as the glass is well supported, however, its strength will not compre to the water pressure. The only problem is if you try to physically handle it or if you don't properly secure the rocks and such in the exhibit/aquarium.White tipped reef sharks are known to exclusively inhabit coral reefs and spend a large amount of time on the seabed. However, they reach over 5' in length and as adults are powerful animals. I've moved white tipped reef sharks to new enclosures and was shocked by their sheer power. It took three people to move them without incident a short distance. The suitability of this species in the home aquarium is arguable at best. The short-tailed nurse shark is a smaller shark, reaching around 30" however it's listed on the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) as vulnerable, which is only one step away from Near Threatened. Based on that, I don't think it's a responsible species to be kept in the home aquarium. The short tail nurse shark has limited distribution and is endemic to areas that are known for overfishing. They are a conservation concern and efforts are being made to improve the survivability of this species in its wild habitat. I think overall, it's best left in the ocean. We get into some rocky territory when keeping certain sharks, largely because they are an Apex predator that helps shape species evolution and ecological hierarchies. These are all things that should be taken into account when choosing an aquarium species.
This happens much more frequently than people think. When we get into big builds most of the cost is in preparing the home/office rather than the equipment, tank, livestock, etc.Everything in my garage began to rust and it lowered the foundation of my home about 2 inches in the garage, which was visible on the second story roof line. I had a structural engineer review the blueprints for the stand I had built to accommodate for the very mild slope of the garage and also evenly distribute the weight. It still cracked the foundation in the garage terribly.
Huh. I was in the process of building a 600 gallon pool in my garage, I might need to look into what I have to prevent such an ordeal. Then again, where I live is one of the most humid cities in the USA, so odds are my garage is built to handle it.This happens much more frequently than people think.

I'm very sorry to hear the new owners lost Cupcake, BCT182.
600 gallons generally wouldn't be a huge concern for weight in a garage, but it should definitely be looked into.Huh.
