Its okay, just your last comments in the last post were a bit controversal. Just informing you. Anyway, I am glad that you did take the time to ask for help prior to getting one. Many people don't which is sad. But it does sound like you have all intentions of creating the best possible solution for him, which I greatly respect. Anyway, good luck with whatever you decide to do (btw, sorry I was a bit uppity, and I apoligize, its just I'm kinda tired since today was my first day of college, and I miss all my fish at home, etc. No excuses though so I am sorry for being snappy). I'm going to bed now so will be in a better mood tomorrow. Sorry again.
You can save the NEXT egg by not buying the first one, Hammer. Just my .02 and not intended to be a flame.
no prob..thanks again everyone, but i am gonna get that egg one day when the time is right so all the help on tank size and tank conditions and tankmates is both helpfull to me and the shark...anyone know a good page that explains the salinity, temp,ph and all that stuff??
I don't know a page, but the first book I read was The Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Bob Fenner. Good book, easy to understand, great starting point. As with all information sources there are a few facts in this book that hobbiest's question. For example this book says NOT to use Silica Play Sand for substrate, but most any serious hobbiest will tell you they've used it with no ill effects. But the majority of the info in this book is good.

Funny, I was just reading the shark section of CMA at lunch. I was supposed to be writing, but...
Anyway, Fenner gives specific suggestions about tank setup for small sharks. High flow, excelllent filtration, little decor except for a small hiding place in the middle. It looks like a good starting place.
Fenner's WetWebMedia is worth a look, too.

Have you read Scott Michael's Sharks and Rays yet ?
I wouldn't even consider setting up an elasmobranch environment (pond or tank) without reading and re-reading it a few dozen times...
