I doubt it. He usually takes long breaks between posting and has made it pretty evident at this point he doesn't give a crap about the advice people tried to give him. I'm sure we'll see another update from him in a month or so.
He gave an update recently. Everyone was shitting oh him and his colorful rocks lol. I don't know if he kept that post up, he posted multiple times to get the response he wanted. I'm pretty sure the threads got deleted.
I'm honestly a little surprised at times that the mods allow him to post still. Not because it isn't good be an awesome tank, just in its size and engineering, but because of the comments just being the same mess every single time.
I hope you are incorrect but I think you might be right, haven't seen a post from him in a couple of months though that may very well be me missing them as he posts.
Leading shark breeding expert in the area recommended this species. Breeder breeds them in smaller tanks successfully. These are appropriate for this tank according to experts.
No, he doesn't. He captures wild pregnant bonnethead sharks and allows them to give birth in captivity, then he sells off the pups.
Why else do you think there's a breeding season for the sharks if they're kept in captivity, as you revealed in this comment? And why, then, did he explicitly say they're captively born, not bred, in this email?
Surely you're being intentionally obtuse or lying to people at this point, I refuse to believe you know this little about the details of your own project. At least educate yourself a little, Daniel.
Not even worth arguing. These people are literal trash. Greedy assholes who care about nothing other than themselves. They’d pay $100,000 to kill the last remaining animal of a species before it goes extinct so they can mount its head on their wall.
I’m adding info to the stuff the other person commented.
This questionable dude is building a pretty massive tank. 15,000 gallons or something, just absolutely massive for a personal aquarium. The shape and access hole is just like this posts tank. Some people really didn’t like that the decor was fake so there was some hate there. If I remember right it looks like you’re under a pier or oil rig with the big poles.
But the major thing was that he was making it into a bonnethead? shark tank. I think that was the species. They are “mini” hammerheads, but they still grow to 4 feet so too big for that tank. They are a migratory species so people are against keeping that species in a aquarium. The tank is also rectangular with corners and tight spots around the decor that the sharks could get stuck. So people were giving him advice on blocking the corners and switching to a smaller and non migrating shark species. The dude had a “I’m to rich to care” attitude that rubbed most the wrong way. It turned into a sh*tshow
There's a dick that is building a massive tank but is filling it with a bunch of "fake" decorations and has plans to add an even bigger animal, a big endangered shark although I can't recall which species.
Wait I thought he was putting a few bonnet heads? They typically reach like 3’ long. I wouldn’t see too much of an issue there but I don’t know about the rest.
As someone already explained even bonentheads are too big for that tank and are a highly migratory species. Not to mention there was a lot of chance they'd get hurt.
Seeing as in nature they'd roam over an area km long, and shark tank guy plans to have them in a tank with like like 7m as the longest straight run, it's going to be hell for them.
u/ evolutionnext. Wants to keep endangered bonnet head sharks in a tank to small for them, from questionable breeders, and has ugly dangerous fake corals for said sharks.
He's basically making the rich man's version of a 1 gallon glo fish aquarium.
Oh no, different guy from this post. I put his user name in the beginning. He doesn't listen, and doesn't respond to criticism at all. Basically he'll just do whatever he wants because it looks cool. This guy is reasonable this tank is probably going to be beautiful stocked with fish and rays.

What makes you say that "shark tank guy" wouldn't be posting anymore? Did something happen?
