Shark tank updates

[Fishphish69]

Me and my girlfriend have been living in her parents house. Her parents retired to Florida 5 years ago. Since they moved no one has taken care of the pool. I found a heavy duty water pump so I decided to fill the pool with ocean water. Her parents went to Florida but we are in New York. After running the pump for 4 hours it ran out if gas. The pool is less then 25% full.

I planned on getting a thrasher shark, sand shark, horseshoe crabs, flounder and sea robins. Any other suggestions are welcomed, i am looking for things i can catch. I will be filling the pool with seaweed as well. I live in New York. Here are some questions I have.

1)Will I need a chiller or heater? The pool is heated but I am not sure if it works, it hasn't been used in years.

2)I assume it will be ok for me to do water changes and get food from the backyards. Is this ok? There is tons of shrimp and crab in addition to the fish.

3) is there a marine fish which will reproduce quickly which I can leave in the pool? I plan on sectioning off a section where the sharks can't go, like a big Refugium.

4) Any other suggestions?

lol this doesn't even sound possible in any way shape or form.

[drew2007]

Do you have any clue how much it would cost to house sharks outside in New York? Let alone in a pool made for swimming! Chillers and heaters and food. Massive pumps. Your looking in the tens of thousands Of dollars a year. Don't thrashers get like 15 feet long? Please do yourself and these animals a favor and DO NOT ATTEMPT to do this.

I sincerely hope this person is trolling!

[Timfish]

Robotman and drew2007 have said it much nicer than I am inclined to.

They changed the first paragraph didn't they?

[Fishphish69]

Aren't the sharks around me a cold water species? The pool has a built in filter and heater too. I will also be keeping my bioload low. I spoke to the DEC and they said as long as I legally take it i can do with it what i want. I live 30 yards from the ocean and could do water changes and get food for free. The pool is wither 50 feet or 50 yards, which is almost the same. What species shark do you reccomend. Will I need a heater for the winter. My girlfriend is rich and supports all my idea both morally and financially. Is there any cold water squids?

It's everyone's dream a empty pool. I don't want it to go so waste. I was also thinking of sinking a jet ski, small boat, or small helicopter.

I also have experience with big fish. I own Arapiama fish.

Everyone talks about keeping large fish. I am at least making the effort to do it. Of you are drinking the hateraid no need to visit my threads and updates. Pictures of what I accomplished so far will be up tomorow.

[drew2007]

Please close this thread and ban! This guy is a troll and sorry to say a complete moron. Nothing your saying makes any sense at all. 50 feet is 50 feet. 50 yards is 150 feet. Its not the same. Most likely you wont be able to post anything tomm lol

[shifty51008]

Yes you will need a heater, a pool will freeze in the winter. Also take into account rain will change the sg also heat will change the sg. What do you have in place to keep that stable?

Fw big fish is much diffrent than sw big fish.

Fill it with Chlorine and swim in it. OMG, I JUST GOT MY PHD!

[Cu455]

Sounds like a good plan. If I was you I will build a greenhouse around it to help hold the heat in. I am not sure if it's possible but you should set up your pool as the main tank and the ocean as a sump, 30 yards isn't that far. If you do this you won't need a filter. I hope you are not trolling this sounds like a sweet idea.

And it will be tomorow for another 15 hours, I will get them up. It's not much just a 3/4 empty pool. I didn't run the pump at night because it is very loud. After work I will continue filling it up.

Using the ocean as a filter is a great idea will look into it.

Pictures of the pump running from the ocean, directly to your pool, you know what, cancel that, make it a video so we can hear everything and watch the water, or it didn't happen, also 12.5 hours left, you seem to be running out of time...

[Joe0813]

This guy is by far the biggest idiot that I've seen on here yet.... your plan will not work and you have pretty much experts telling you this won't work yet you will still try and do it. Good luck sinking a helicopter in your swimming pool. Let us know how that works ......

hope your kidding.... first off besides the fact that hes using a OUTDOOR swimming pool for sharks. 2. hes using new york sea water right from the shore with no cleaning. and 3. please tell me how a full sized helicopter will fit in a pool? not only will it rot away but all the gas/oil/coolant will have to be completely flushed out to avoid killing everything in this pool. :deadhorse1:

[Pearson]

How is this thread still going? :lol:

Interested in how this turns out. I, like your girlfriend, support your ideas. I don't have any money though so that doesn't really help. Cool idea using a sunken helicopter. Personally, i'd find a submarine since everyone knows sharks prefer subs. :thumbsup:

[drew2007]

I can't believe this thread is still open. :hammer:

[Fishphish69]

So after doing some more research it doesn't seem like a thrasher shark will work, but a sand shark is ok. Makos are pretty cool but I don't think it will work. Any suggestions what other shark? I only want two. What stingrays live around Long Island? Another question I have is my filter is a big steel container. I put sand and rocks from the jetty in the container. I left the lid open with a light. Will the lack of lighting effect the filtration? I put charcoal in the chlorine dispenser. There are also two pre-filter strainers. There are a lot of small helicopters. Most helicopters aren't ment to carry cannons and rockets like Blackhawks and apaches. I this thinking a one person recon helicopter. It's a indoor pool. It's in a garage/sunroom type structure.

Next update will come on Sunday. If I can dream it I will do it.

[wii64brawl]

You want to put a fish that is IUCN listed as vulnerable to extinction that gets up to 20ft long in a 50x50 pool? And then crash a metal helicopter into it which will rust and eventually kill the sharks if not already dead?

Sounds like a solid plan to me.

[Dmorty217]

This isn't sustainable you will watch you livestock slowly die because of lack of filtration and water quality. Doesn't sound like you are around this "pool" enough to even fill it up let alone have it maintained well enough to have anything live long term.

[SUMIXAM]

Looks legit!!! :lolspin:

Awwww.... you took down your video?!!?

[BlindZide]

Pics of pool or it didn't happen.......I don't wanna see a "filter room".

[Joe0813]

People like this should NOT be in this hobby

[drew2007]

Please! I beg you! Do not subject any animals to your absurd vision. Charcoal? Rocks from the jetty? Please! Just stop before you kill innocent animals.

[shifty51008]

If your really doing this, please skip sinking anything in the pool and leave it bare. 1 scratch in the shark can kill it, not like putting a 20' shark in a small pool isnt helping much either.

[billsreef]

That metal filter canister alone makes it a no go. First, the salt will rot it out in a very short time. Secondly, any metal exposure to the water will be lethal to sharks. At a minimum you would need to totally revamp the filtration system, not just to remove any metal components, to also upgrade the filtration to handle the needs of the animals. A quick off the cuff estimate, you will need to sink about 8 thousand dollars into the filtration system...that figure assumes your capable of performing the work yourself to plan the system and install it. Quadruple that figure if you need a professional like myself to do it for you. Should you want to discharge to the ocean, you will need permits from the DEC...not easy to get, especially for a private individual. It will be required to treat the discharge water, which will also require filtration systems for the effluent. As for shark species, stick to dogfish and sandbar sharks. As for "sting" rays, your stuck with skates locally.

[athompson]

Well this was entertaining.

[Lsufiregal]

Why???? Isn't starting a new thread to replace one that was locked one of those rules we agreed to follow?

[Lsufiregal]

And seriously as I said last time, it is THRESHER shark. Clearly you have done plenty of research since you are so clear on what it is called. :banghead:

If sharks were easy keepers, or if you could just fill a pool with ocean water and pump it through pumps designed for chlorinated freshwater don't you think a bunch of people would be doing it?

Why even bother doing water changes if you are going to use filthy water from the beach? That is like me saving up what my skimmer skims out and using it for water changes. You would need to go miles off shore to find decent water.

Why even bother having them in the pool in the first place? Viewing them will be difficult if not impossible.

I keep waiting for the post where you say you are going to attach laser beams to their heads.

Stay classy Dr. Evil.

Hey I dont know why people are giving him such a hard time. This is visionary work we are witnessing. I mean, an enormous shark along side a helicopter in a residential pool dumping unidentified waste water into the ocean? This guy has managed to draw attention from PITA, the EPA, the FAA and probably homeland security all at the same time. Attach it all to a rocket and you can get the NASA stamp of approval as well.

Thanks for the advice. I was at the aviation museum and they had a inflatable f22 which you can sit in for sale. Maybe I will use that it has no sharp edges.

The pool filter is rated for fresh and saltwater pools. My girlfriends parents wanted the option when saltwater pools were the fad. I used to work for the DEC at Lake Erie, I will have no problems getting any permits, if neccary. I was talking to a friend of mine from the DEC and he told me if I take a rehab shark he might be able to get me funding.

Dogfish sharks are cool. I am also a fan of the beer. I find skate eggs on the beach, can I hatch them? I also put a divider in the pool so I can build a refugium. Thanks for your advice.

[Fishphish69]

No I don't think more people will have sharks in the situation you put forward. The shark is not the limiting factor it's the pool. How many people do you know has an extra pool lying around. The filter is also made for salt water pools. People enjoy looking at fish from above. Why do you think people have koi ponds, arowana ponds, stingray ponds and more? If you only like looking at fish from the side that's fine, but that is not everyone's preference. Plus I am a scuba diver.

You don't think a pool is better then the 180 gallon tanks people keep them in?

[Fishphish69]

I finished filling the pool and put a divider in it. In the next few day I will start to gather organisms for the Refugium. Anything in particular I should get? I am thinking seaweed, plankton, sand crabs and killies.

Here is a preview of Sundays installment of my shark tank. Hopefully I can get the sharks in by the start of shark week.

It's still metallic and a no no for shark culture. Also it's still undersized for what is needed for keeping marine life. You need substantial mechanical, biological and chemical filtration for what your talking about. What you have currently is just plain inadequate.

BTW counting on former employment in an upstate district of the DEC for obtaining the necessary discharge permits in the marine district might not work as well you seem to think. I also wouldn't count so much on the idea of funding for "rehab", you would also have to show the ability to do such in order to obtain funding...

I spoke to the filter company and they said that it is lined in fiber glass and it will be ok. Does this sound right? If not I was going to switch to a 500 gallon plastic water jug, like the ones farmers use.

How much biological filtration will I need for a spiney dogfish shark ? From what I gather they stay under 5 feet. With a 500 gallon sump and 50 feet by 3 feet refugium I still won't have enough biological filtration. People keep similar sized sharks such as a bamboo in much smaller tanks with less filtration.

Did you read my question about the skate eggs. Will they hatch in my tank? What kind of care will they need?

Just because people do that, doesn't mean it's right for the animal. The animals we keep can't tell us what size tank and filtration they need. We have to know what's right vs. wrong for them.

Not many comments about the animals. Just a bunch of post padding. I just did the calculations and I have just over 7,000 gallons. The depth ranges from 5 feet to 7 feet. What shark do you think will be good? I am willing to get a tropical species, not only cold.

Pretending to build a shark-pool is amusing. Pretending to be literate is just sad. :facepalm:

[Zoodiver]

As someone who has designed, built and operated sharks tanks much larger than what your are attempting - everything you've talked about it incorret to this point.

If you REALLY want to pull this off, you need to scrap everything you've laid out in this thread, talk with someone who has done this before and find out the RIGHT way to go about setting up a saltwater pool for sharks.

PS - There is no such thing as a 'sand shark'. Learning about sharks a little more would be a great Step #1.

Yeah borrowed them from your 8 year old girlfriend in the picture. If you want to know about my hand writing I had nerve damage done to it when my vechile got hit by an IED. I had about 25 pieces of shrapnel from a 1980's soviet artillery piece and debris from the earth launched into my arms. Some of the frags are still there. Now are you that big of jerk off to make fun of disabled veterians? I think you are.

[Lsufiregal]

Anyone else picturing this guy showing up to the local public pool with two signs and a camera? Lol

I will be the one who states the obvious about your video. That water was not just pumped in from the sea. No way. And since you stated yesterday it was only 3/4 full and the pump was too loud to run at night, how is it suddenly full and clear? There is no way sea water would be that clear just after being pumped in. It took 2 days for the water to clear in my 220. Also there is no way you pumped in water without sand and it would be all over the bottom of the pool.

You need to get a life. I seriously doubt the local YMCA is going to appreciate sharks in thier pool. My bs meter is maxed out.

This post was hilarious until now. I, as an Army wife and proud American, am offended by this deeply.

I certainly hope you are being truthful about being a disabled Vet. That is something myself and other Vets take very seriously.

Wouldn't really concider myself disabled, but I suffer nerve damage and have a shaky hand and less strength. Nothing to complain about. Just gets old hearing about my handwriting.

As someone who has designed, built and operated sharks tanks much larger than what your are attempting - everything you've talked about it incorret to this point.

If you REALLY want to pull this off, you need to scrap everything you've laid out in this thread, talk with someone who has done this before and find out the RIGHT way to go about setting up a saltwater pool for sharks.

PS - There is no such thing as a 'sand shark'. Learning about sharks a little more would be a great Step #1.

According to Wikipedia there is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_shark.

I saw your cylinder shark tank on another fourm. What kind of filtration does it have? It was an awesome tank. Is the filtration my only issue or water volume also?
