oooo. sounds neat... my only concern is the temperature of the water.. and skimming... hrm.... cause sharks are pretty sensative to that sort of thing, aren't they?

That's what I was thinking, but I am sure there is a way to insulate the lagoon at night, like the pool coverings. I am thinking about getting the book to just see how they set it up.

yeah, if anything, it'd be a cool book to read. Outside of that, I'm sure you could make a lagoon like that and add any neccessary equipment. I just think it'd still be kind of expensive/annoying to upkeep. with debris flying in all the time, huge water changes (assuming the lagoon is nice and spacious for the little fellas). It would still be a fun project, nonetheless; and quite a conversation peice.. "OMG, Billy fell into the shark lagoon! I got $50 on the baby great white, 3 to 1 against!

Good one Eric! :) That reminds me of the shark exhibit at Sea World. I'll stick to keeping koi ponds for now ;)

yeh, I am not about to run out and build one as I have enough tanks to take care of. Just looked cool and thought I would get some feedback from the experts as maybe someday in the future....... you know, up against the house so you can put a viewing window from the basement/gameroom.... :D

i want to see testimonies from people who literally built one, rather than people who only saw his lagoon. sounds cool though. :cool:

oo. viewing room from the basement.. that would be sweet.. Might as well do what that one guy did and build a huge shark tank down there... but testimonials would be a good thing to look at.

Man, I've thought abotu doing this for like 10 years. Only thing I am missing is the 100K it would cost me to build. So think, swimming pool size for snorkling and window in the living room into the "pond" No skimming, just a bunch of LR and LS, a true 12" DSB throughout the pond! Water movement and heating provided by a typical pool filter and solar heating. Just need that 10 mil so I can spare 100k on a reef pond.
