i hear that tangs can be aggressive with one another like gouramis, so it might not work. if anyone has any experience keeping multiple tangs in a system (multiple of the same species or just multiple tangs) with no ill effects, advice would be greatly appreciated.
Yellow tangs get agressive when in small numbers or even numbers.. but they will school all the other tangs seem to do ok unless you get a tang with a dispostion.. and ushually body shape can tell you who can go with who... if there similar they cant do it...
Now my idea for the 100,000 gall... i would split it into a 1/3 back area and a front.. simulate a flooded amazon forest and throw in 3 silver arowa some tigs and some ret tails.. and maybe a giant gourami and a really big school of cardinals.... and in the back is where i breed/ grow out..oo ooo and an aripima or two :]
Ok - why is that everyone keep saying the Nurse will reach 14' long. When many biologists are debating if they really even get that big. Most research projects into the study of wild & captive Nurse Shark populations - rarely turn up a 10' specimen. The largest offically record wild Nurse was about 12' long. Most adult nurses are in the 8-9' range. No Nurse shark has ever be record in captivity above 10 ft in length.
If the Nurse does actually get up to 13-14' long - then is extremely rare - about like a 8.5-9' tall Human, or a 10-12 ton Elephant. A true once in life time kind of find.
Still - a 10,000 gallon pond/lagoon/tank is a bit small for even a 8-9' shark.
Sorry -about that. Get a bit passionate about sharks - 
Still - I wouldn't exactly say it's impossible to keep an adult nurse in home aquaria. Ever hear of aquarists making shark lagoons out swimming pools - I've heard of it. pretty awesome.
Just not for the SW aquarists.

Black or white - tip reef sharks, some different types of rays, groupers, and anything that can be compatible.
