Shark and stingray tank aquarium

- Опубликовано: 27 мар 2019
- Couple of leopard sharks, grey smooth hound shark, bat ray, couple of round rays. Tank is 96x96x30”. Sharks are 20”-26”’s, bat ray around 14” across. Rounds are still babies at 6-8”. Tank is plywood waterproofed with liquid rubber. And acrylic front panel. This tank is in one bedroom with the front build into my dining room wall. Shark and ray tank.
Now this is a definition of an aquarium! I like how this tank is long & wide for the fishes to move around. It mimics their natural habitats in a way especially the tangs & sharks
It's too small for those big animals.
@@bumbi6 actually that’s a great sized tank and could be a grow out tank to
@@bumbi6 lol educate yourself before you type
@@Aladarr631I think you should educate yourself, especially with sharks and stingrays who in their natural habitats have a hunting territory of several square miles! You think this little fishtank suffices?
@@Aladarr631well i mean they live in the ocean so yea the tank is too small. Take them home
Wow that's a large tank. I love the way the stingray swims. Awesome.
its a manta ray
@@cia6768 it’s m eagle eay. Manga rays are not able to be kept in home aquariums
@@cia6768 that’s a bat ray, manta rays grow over 20 feet long
Very nice setup Sean😃👍
That’s a beautiful setup
That bat ray is too cute :)
That’s amazing 😊
Scottish fish channel thank you
Awsome tank
That’s a dream tank
Love the aquarium!! Maybe one day I can afford to have one
There are many People there hold sharks in tanks there are to small but your not one of them great tank👍
I can only dream of owning sucha masterpeice
too amazing, almost cried.
Dang bro. I know this video is old but this is truly baller status. Ive been thinking of getting a 1000 gallon tank for sharks. What temperature do you keep your water?
Holden Kesler hi sorry it took me so long to reply. I started out at 71 degrees and have gradually gone up to 74. I had to add another skimmer (2 bubble magus b12’s) for the sharks. Their breathing was a little to heavy at that temp the other skimmer solved that.
@@spidermonkey7999how many gallons??
Speechless 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👍👍🏅🏅🏅🏆🏆🏆
Where did you buy the bat ray? Btw nice tank🔥
Wow.
How much did buliding the tank cost with out including the filtration system. How much did the filter, sump, etc cost?
Floof Dragon the tank itself was about 800. Including the acrylic and liquid rubber. The rest I probably have around 2000 in filtration. Which most of that is the 2 bubble magus b12 skimmers I’m running. I also have the auto aqua automatic water change setup x2 for my water changes and auto top off. They ran me about 800 after I upgraded to the bigger pumps. Another 1000 in my rodi setup and holding tank. About 6000 in live stock.
Really, the tank was $800 dollars?
Antonio Norton yes, I built it out of plywood. The acrylic was about 250.00 the liquid rubber and extra stuff to seal ran about 400. The tank really didn’t cost that much to build. The filtration is what cost the most. The tank was time consuming. Several weeks to build.
Fascinating!!
@@spidermonkey7999 can u do a vid of how to build this tank?
Also how ate the fish these days?
wow
How many gallons is it? It’s beautiful
How thick is the acrylic ?
.
It looks like the perfect size to give the sharks room to swim. Just awesome! 👌👍
Jail would be perfect size for you too? 🤔
I'm looking into building a 1000-2000 gallon saltwater tank for two cownoes rays. The deep end will be about 3-4ft deep and the shallow platform about 2ft. I wanted to make it kinda like a peanut shape with more space in the deep end. Any advice on sturdy, affordable materials?
Izzy H Hi, there are a couple of things I would have done different but I’m still happy with my outcome. I used liquid rubber everything, coating, seam tape, textile tape. Make sure u use all cabinet great lumber. Buy as much liquid rubber as u think u can afford and put more coats on than u think u need. I also went over every seam with several layers of seam tape just overlapping each one. I had to trial and error my bracing. But u will need more than u think. Other than that it’s really just time consuming. I can’t remember what I used on the front panel to get it to seal to the rubber. It was 3m marine something. Also seam taped the crap out of it.
@@spidermonkey7999 Ok cool thanks. If i have a budget of $10,000 would that be enough?
Izzy H for just the tank no problem. I think I have 1200.00 in my tank. The equipment on the other is a whole different story.
@@tidalstream3683 if you're still looking to build a tank ,any kind of tank. wood like this one or acrylic there is a guy on yt called the kind of diy he shows you all kinds of ways to make tanks or tanks stands by yourself. Has a 2000 gallon tank that used to hold 5 freshwater rays and Asian ariwana
What’s the dimensions for that tank
Which species of shark do u have?
That tank is massive. Props to you man👊 but maybe it's a little small for the cownose
I wonder how much this tank is
How did you get all these creatures?
Big Dawg the sharks and rays came from aquariumreefers.com victor is an awesome guy and knows his stuff. Highly recommend them.
Can u tell me what the dimensions of this tank is wanna build on in the future
96x96x30
How many gallon and how did you get it
Is that a cownose ray
Sharks and Stingrays are Cartilaginous Fish
I have a question about water quality and water changes, like what do you do how often do you change water and with ro/di? Must cost a fortune on water bill and and salt or do you have a way to not change water? I real really really want to know
Our house burned down in November so I no longer have the tank unfortunately. Honestly this was one of the easiest tanks I’ve ever owned. I prepared very well for about a year on this thing. I was on a well so I didn’t have a water bill just a little bit more in electric and I own a restaurant so the seafood bill wasn’t to bad also lol. I had a 300 (if I remember right) gpd unit with a booster pump. A 125 gallon holding tank right behind the shark tank to mix the water. A 50 gallon ro top off tank below that. I had it plumed in a way that it was very easy to do and I used auto aqua automatic water change system with bigger pumps to do the water changes (awesome system once you dial it in) 100 gallon water changes in about 30 minutes. 2 200 gallon boxes of reef crystals a month. I had planned on doing the sump setup video and what not but never got around to it. I was running 2 bm-b12 bubble magus skimmers in a 100 gallon stock tank for the bio load. I’ve always been a water change guy instead of dosing. This was a very happy tank for the 3 or 4 years I had it. Also was an extremely fun tank to watch and surprisingly easy tank to take care of, still missing it.
@@spidermonkey7999 damn tho that's still pretty expensive because the price of salt mix is pretty high
@@matthewlevesque2953 I was spending about 125 a month in salt give or take. Honestly that wasn’t bad for this size tank.
@Sean B so your saying you did 100 gallons a week , what is the stock a California leopard shark and a smooth hound , where did you get the true leopard seems they are nowhere to be found
The tank is perfect for the smaller fish, though putting a shark or stingray in one of these is straight up animal abuse. You can see them bumping into the wall trying to figure out how to escape.
Hoe much did the tank cost?
There sharks and fish in the tank
Cow nose ray?
Can anyone tell me the names of those sharks????
De cuantos metros es la pesera?
Is this fresh water or salt water?
Seawater sharks don't exist😂
Sean bard
Custom made ??
bigbQy yes, I made it out of plywood, liquid rubber, and front acrylic.
You made the tank ?
@@MrSimplysavage i built a 500 with plywood. I had a blast building mine, id love to build another.
How did you get the sharks?
I can understand that these animals are very fascinating to us. While all here about the aquarium, its dimensions and technology congratulate you, who looks at the animals? I don't see any scientific aspect that comes out of watching the animals in such an aquarium, except for the congratulations in terms of "Wow, what a big tank". Do you know how big the natural territory of sharks and rays is? Your aquarium may be very large for "us". But, it offers absolutely nothing that could represent the natural habitat of these animals. It is a torture for these animals to swim permanently in circles. Baby or not, where do the animals go when they get bigger? Did you release the animals into the wild?
If you look a little closer, you will notice that they are looking for an exit. Ask yourself what would happen if the shark or the ray locked you in a glass box, with only a sofa and a carpet, and a fan. How long would you last?
Please think about it again, maybe I can make you change the perspective a little bit, and you might do something good ;)
If you want to see sharks, go snorkeling, scuba diving.... If you want an aquarium, well then create a sea of plants with thousands of colors and shapes, but please don't let animals swim in circles for your pleasure. Even more so in a sterile aquarium of water, sand and a few dead corals, just because you can ;)
And now: Happy downvoting my comment, which does not fit at all into the picture of congratulations ;)
What are you going to do once the Leopard Sharks outgrow the tank? They're inevitably going to exceed 4ft, so I can't see how it'll be practical or humane to keep them in a tank of that size.
Amazing ! Future goals forsure check out my tank !
How can i do same aqurium
al3inawy its a simple plywood build coated with liquid rubber and acrylic front panel. There are many videos on how to build one on RUclips. Time consuming but worth it.
@@spidermonkey7999 thank u
@@spidermonkey7999 i wish u can do me same lol
Not Sting ray manta rays...
Way to small for the stingray
Nope.
@@jygergruz9562yep. WAY to small for both the sharks and stingray actually, but your perverted mindset on how animals should serve as decoration clouds your judgment. Let’s lock you up in a bedroom for your entire life to see how happy it makes you.
Hey how many gallons is your tank ?
Michael Hayward the tank is around 1200 Gallons but the actual water volume is around 1000.
@@spidermonkey7999 so nice !
@@spidermonkey7999 how do you clean the inside walls do the sharks try to bite you if you stick your hand inside
Thanos no I don’t clean the walls. I’m running 3 Uv sterilizers in the overflow’s that help with any algae growing and I do 150 gallon water changes every week. These sharks get scared very easy (big babies) Sticking my hand in the tank just freaks them out so I try not to ever do that. The rays on the other hand don’t care and pretty much eat out of my hand if I wanted to feed them that way.
Sean B how do you get enough water to do a 150 gallon water change?
Thats seek
Poor animals
actually its common to keep these sharks in 200-400 gallon. These ones have plenty of room and the owner clearly does his research unlike you.
@@andreww4165omething that’s “common” doesn’t necessarily make it right, it was common to hold slaves 100 years ago as well. These animals have a natural habitat about 10000x bigger than that tank. It’s somewhat similar to locking you up in your bedroom for the rest of your life, or maybe a prison cell.
