Shark and Stingray Pond. On this episode of Aquapparel TV EFish and Keegan Black of Black Sea Aquatics build a 300 gallon above ground shark and stingray pond. Watch as they transfer the Brown Banded Bamboo Shark, 2 Coral Cat Sharks and Halleri Stingray into their new home. The build of the pond only took 2 days but getting the water ready for the sharks and stingray took a little over a week. On this episode watch from start to finish the entire process.

The pond is the most affordable solution that I have found. The other solution is a large round acrylic aquarium which you might need to get custom made and can be very expensive but it does give you a great view. Remember, if you are going to keep sharks and stingrays you have to put their needs first since you are responsible for their well being. With the pond you can still view them very well in addition to giving them the proper space that they need.
Hi, Sure.
1. Get a 20 gallon food grade safe trash can by Rubbermaid and drill holes all along the sides to about 3 inches under the handle.
2. Place a magflow pump (minimum 1400 gallons per hour) in the bottom of the trash can.
3. Get a PVC pipe and cut it so that one piece goes on the pump output and the other can be used as a spray bar the way we assembled it in the video. Get 2 elbow pieces for the ends as well.
4. Get some egg crate, cut and zip tie it together to form the media baskets.
Gotta love rubbermaid ..I have the same pond, they work well ..I drilled the side with overflows and have a 100 gallon sump attached ..but I have corals mixed in with my sharks, so I need the added filtration
Yup :-) We checked out your pond, it's beautiful! In the updated video you will see our 150 gallon sump that we added.
Anders Holder nice
You guys are too dang COOL! I know for me, raising my various pets over the years, it really made me sooo happy anytime I could upgrade the habitat!!
Wow you guys are so brave and nice for giving these guys such a great home we need more people like you. I'm so happy to see people not trying to kill and sell these animals ♥️
You have some beautiful sharks :D
That stingray is so cute
I'm not a fan of a California ray but the blue spotted ray or bat ray is the true beautys.
Juble Tyre ikr!!
Amazing tutorial! I have a 500 gallon shark & Ray tank w/spotted rays, butterfly rays, bat rays, as well as banded bamboo, coral, & 1 smooth grey hound. Id love to have a big pond I always told myself I was gonna go big enough for a Black Tip but the $3,500.00 price on the shark alone not counting the pond & equipment made me 2nd guess lol
Thanks! I don't recommend a Black Tip Reef Shark. They get way too big and need a ton of room in order to swim. The benthic species like the ones in this video are much easier to care for in captivity. They are not very active though, they mostly just lay around and hang out.
gotta love your dedication towards your fishes.
Andrew Lucfr Thank you :-)
Sharks and stingrays are really cool
Thats awesome. I love it.
Thanks :-)
very cool, I have the same tank for axolotls. I think the filter is an interesting choice. I just use a fluval fx6 on mine and it keeps everything pretty clean, plus I use a turkey baster to cleanup any extra residue on the bottom etc.
That is probably amazing!
Sharks and sting rays are so cool
They were in a 120 gallon and out grew it in a little over a year. Check out the EFish's 120 Gallon Shark and Stingray Aquarium video on our channel to see how big they got. For cat sharks I would recommend a Coral Cat Shark which is the black shark with the white spots in the video. For stingrays make sure that you research and can properly ID one before you buy it and bring it home because some get really big. The Halleri and Cortez are ideal size but they need a lot of room to swim.
Love this idea but really love to see an update on the pond and sharks.
Hi There! I just posted one last week. :-)
seem like a couple of bright kids but never heard of shark in a pond besides there so majestic and breath taking why only look at the top of them! hmmm! i dont know what that cost but u could build a plywood aquarium for around a dollar per gallon
Thanks :-) It's more for their comfort than for looks. They prefer to just hang out and not really be on display I have found.
5. Fill up the media baskets and place live rock in the trash can to hold the filter and media baskets in place.
Since this video we added an external Ehiem 2217 canister filter for more bio, 2 powerheads to help with the flow and we used coral glue to glued some underwater LEDs to the inside walls of the pond for day lights.
Awesome!!! i cant believe you fit that pool in your living room!
Being in the living area in the house, how do you go with humidity in the room/house? are you doing anything to keep humidity down?
do you find that the pond (not having lids) allows a lot of extra evaporation than a traditional aquarium? and again creating a lot of humidity? and potential mould problems on your ceiling?
Thanks,
Alex
+Alex Kantor The pond has had lids since the beginning, they are just not featured in this video. Check out the update video on this channel to see what they look like. The lids work great for this pond, but you could also use a dehumidifier. It's important to note that you need to have a lid that allows for air to enter the pond. So make sure that you use something like the green house roofing. It's very important.
Wow that is great
Thanks :-)
What is the clarity of the water? I was thinking of doing something like this and I came across this video, but I was wondering how well you can see them.
Beautiful creatures
Zebra Shark wow i know you guys give birth from baby Shark and Stingray That is so cool
Stingray is so cute!omg!😊
This is actually really cool
Love all rays
I love stingrays!
Baby stingrays and baby sharks are Soo cute
Would love to have this in my home. But I would make it differently. But I lobe yours.
it looks like scooping a super flat pancake while you were scooping the stigray.
stingray
For the top we used 4 large pieces of egg crate.
what were the dimensions of the pond? also how do you do your maintenance, daily/weekly such as water changes and maintenance of your filter.
+MultiMrDrago Check out the update video on this channel. The pond is 5 feet by 6 feet and about 2.5 to 3 feet high.The maintenance depends on feeding, the amount and size of the species that you keep, the amount of biological filtration that you have, etc. Make sure that you test your water at least once a week and do water changes as needed. Remember that it is better to under stock the pond (keep less species in it). Under stocking the pond is what's best for the animal's well being too.
You guys are so lucky. They are so beautiful
Is there an updated video?
Very soon there will be an updated video.
damn, crazy you would do that in an apartment/condo. props to you tho for the proper care
Amazing babies
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darrien Thompson Thanks :-)
hey that looks great wish i had one in my front room
Is a 120 gallon good for a coral catshark and a small species of stingray ?
He grew so much
They were in a 120 gallon aquarium originally and grew out of it in little over a year.
cool sharks
awsome!!!!!!!
Cool cat sharks.
Octavio Chavez Thank you :-)
I love the garbage can but I use a sponge filter and it’s covered with about 20 pounds
Linda
Of live rock and my protein skimmer is attach to the side of the can.
Thanks! Check out my 2019 update to see the improvements to the system.
I loooooovvvvvvveeeee the bambo shark
When is the next update for the shark and stingray pond?
They are so cute
awesome!
what do you do for humidity control in your home?
Check out some of my newer, update videos. I show the top that I use in order to help with this.
It's possible but I'm not sure it is possible without the risk of a leak. It's not very tall so it's easy for people to see in from the top.
Great video, any new updates?
Thank you! Yes! Check out my 2019 update video and my how my shark pond works video on my channel.
Are you using a skimmer on the pond ?
All you need now is a little viewing window :p
Miss Saltwater tank Stay tuned for a much larger tank with a viewing window soon.
Make a glass roof to view Xd
So this pond will then be a permanent home for the life off all 4 fish? I was thinking of doing something like this in the corner of a basement once I would have a house.
Yes but I am actually looking into a larger set up soon.
New subscriber!!
Yes, it's is a titanium heater.
Where did you get the stingray???!!!
Epic Films At my local fish store
Can give me an estimate of how much the setup cost? Thanks
I'm very new to saltwater and the construction on the pond. Do you have website how to do one but looking at the step by step
Working on this. Check back on Aquapparel.com in the aquarium shark guide within the next month or so.
Whered you get the big tub for the pond? Please tell
I ordered it online from a farm supply company.
Wow cool video 💚
were do you get sharks
Can we do this outside?
JAD BENJELLOUN yes
Yes I have seen it done but you need to have the right equipment for temperature control and in order to maintain the proper salinity. I have not personally done it but other people have. Just be sure to do your research.
that's cool
Where did you get the sting ray?
How big do those sharks get?
***** They all will get to an average of 2 to 3 feet in length when they are full grown.
Aquapparel do they go to a bigger pond at that stage or is the pond in this video sufficient?
That was cool
What size tank was the tank the sharks and stingray were in originally? I might get a coral catshark and a stingray.
How big was the tank they where in before the pond. Tia
Dan Drag 120 gallon aquarium which they grew out of in less than 1 year.
That’s actually smart lol
The sharks look like aligater 😳😳😳😳😳😳
Could I use a pond liner as the tank or pond will that work
Rachel Baxter Not sure, I have not tried that. You definitely want something that will be stable and not bow. It is very important for the safety of the animals.
Where did you get the pre formed pond??
From a farm supply company.
Wow
The stingrays is the best
Im trying to get a 300 gallon for my red eared sliders.
Are you keeping that pond in your living room?
The humidity levels must be ridiculous in the home.
Nope, not with the green house roofing that I added.
Don't you have any heaters ?
i love your video
Lol my names keygan😂😂😂
Also how small do the sharks need to be
They can be as big and as man eating as you want them to be
A maximum growth of 3 feet, no larger or this will be too small for them.
I love sharks
Killer Shark I like turtles
Catfsihnig me too but not all
Catfsihnig me too :)
Catfsihnig same
Catfsihnig good for u
Are they still in that pond today
Check out my 2019 update video for all of the updates.
i wanted to put the 300 gal stock tank in the living room like you both, but the wife said NOOOooo....
🤣🤣🤣
i would want a shark nothin big but like one of those what where they called again
Jacob Wahl bamboo and some are cat sharks there are a few others you can have as well but the bamboo and cat sharks are the more popular ones seems to be alot easier to maintain compared to the others because they get even bigger
They called baby sharks 🦈
Always wanted at least one catshark (ie Coral Catshark) but I simply don't have the room for that kind of setup. I guess I will just stick with my 90 gallon reef.
I love reef tanks! They are beautiful! 90 gallons is a good size.
OMG so jealous I want sharks and stingrays but stuck with tropical fish
Tropical fish are beautiful!
how do you make this step by step
Derek Masters The instructions are in the video on how we built it. We are releasing a new video this Wednesday showing some of the updates that we did to the pond so make sure that you subscribe. It's important to note that these sharks and stingray are part of our sustainable breeding program and that we now have a facility with much larger habitats to properly house them in. This pond solution will only buy you about a year or so before you will need to upgrade as we mention in the video.
where did you buy the stingray PLEASE REPLY THANKS !!!!!!!
you can go to a local pet store that sells saltwater fish or you can buy them in an online fish saltwater store, your welcome.
in pet shops there ar lots of them
Yes.
Hi I'm about to build a tank that measures 6'x4'x24'' and was wondering how many sharks can I keep the tank is going to be over 400 gallons and I have been doing salt water for two years and I don't have experience whit sharks . I have corals in a 75g and predators in a 200 g
I would start with no more than 2. Try to get a captive bred one as they are hardier. Look into the Epaulette Shark from ORA. With coral and predator experience that's a great start. We offer an online course where you can learn the basics. I left a link in this video's description.
if no food can eat that stingrays hahahA
Where do you get the sharks from
My local fish store.
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT I WANT ONE!!!!!!!please?
what bacteria did you use
Fritz-Zyme Turbo Start bacteria. I would recommend under dosing though. We followed the directions and it was too much.
Is this in a apartment?
Mark Known Townhouse
Could you actually have this at your house?
Yes, several people who own sharks do.
Do u have like a contact becuase i have lots of questions about that
