Iodine Supplement for Bamboo Sharks

Pond may be easier to do and probably alot less expensive, i guess some research is in order. I'll have to look around at materials and all that stuff we will see have to see but i know my next purchase will be a 300 gallon for now and by then i should have some sort of a plan.

Check out the forums at www.monsterfishkeepers.com. They have some really great ideas for some really big tanks/ponds as well as filtration. A lot of their big ponds are concrete or plywood with a sealer put over top, and then glass viewing panels. At least with these sharks you don't need much height, so you can use with thinner glass and it won't put you broke!

Yeah, sadly that seems the norm. Once people start looking into the cost of that big upgrade they never get around to doing it, and then the fish die and "problem solved". I would LOVE to see these sharks get big and have a big pond to swim around in...I'm fascinated by big ponds/tanks of fish.

"Zavlar" by Liquidrubber is something you could try. I have a 1 gallon pail of it. Its a rubberized coating.. the stuff is crazy (and fish safe). I literally made a 6" 'box' out of printing paper and scotch tape... coated the inside with several layers of zavlar till it was sealed, filled it with water and it actually held. Ofcourse the sides deflected so the shape was like a circle, but it completely held water. Anyways... you can find threads about it on MFK (which Myka linked). I know its a ways out, but just something to keep in mind.

*Zavlar can be ordered in through home-hardware... though I had a hard time finding a store that was willing to order.
