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.
You have some beautiful sharks :D
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!!
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
Sharks and stingrays are really cool
Sharks and sting rays are so cool
Love this idea but really love to see an update on the pond and sharks.
Hi There! I just posted one last week. :-)
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 ♥️
Awesome!!! i cant believe you fit that pool in your living room!
Beautiful creatures
gotta love your dedication towards your fishes.
Andrew Lucfr Thank you :-)
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.
Love all rays
This is actually really cool
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!!
Thats awesome. I love it.
Thanks :-)
Baby stingrays and baby sharks are Soo cute
I love stingrays!
Amazing babies
Stingray is so cute!omg!😊
Zebra Shark wow i know you guys give birth from baby Shark and Stingray That is 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.
Would love to have this in my home. But I would make it differently. But I lobe yours.
hey that looks great wish i had one in my front room
You guys are so lucky. They are so beautiful
Wow cool video 💚
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.
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.
He grew so much
They are so cute
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!
damn, crazy you would do that in an apartment/condo. props to you tho for the proper care
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.
That was cool
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.
I loooooovvvvvvveeeee the bambo shark
For the top we used 4 large pieces of egg crate.
Cool cat sharks.
Octavio Chavez Thank you :-)
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.
Yes.
awesome!
i love your video
New subscriber!!
cool sharks
it looks like scooping a super flat pancake while you were scooping the stigray.
stingray
Yes, it's is a titanium heater.
Wow that is great
Thanks :-)
awsome!!!!!!!
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
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darrien Thompson Thanks :-)
Where did you get the sting ray?
Is a 120 gallon good for a coral catshark and a small species of stingray ?
Lol my names keygan😂😂😂
The stingrays is the best
They were in a 120 gallon aquarium originally and grew out of it in little over a year.
if no food can eat that stingrays hahahA
that's cool
Are you using a skimmer on the pond ?
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT I WANT ONE!!!!!!!please?
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.
That’s actually smart lol
Wow
What size tank was the tank the sharks and stingray were in originally? I might get a coral catshark and a stingray.
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.
I love this video and i wanna see if i can get a sting ray or 3 baby sharks 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
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.
Do u have like a contact becuase i have lots of questions about that
When is the next update for the shark and stingray pond?
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.
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.
Im trying to get a 300 gallon for my red eared sliders.
The sharks look like aligater 😳😳😳😳😳😳
Great video, any new updates?
Whered you get the big tub for the pond? Please tell
I ordered it online from a farm supply company.
Can give me an estimate of how much the setup cost? Thanks
Are you keeping that pond in your living room?
i wanted to put the 300 gal stock tank in the living room like you both, but the wife said NOOOooo....
🤣🤣🤣
what kind of stingray is that
First time subscriber. That was cool but how can you see them good if they are in this black tub rather than a clear tank?
It's more for their comfort. From the top you can see them really well.
were do you get sharks
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.
Why did you put the rocks in the bottom?by Avery
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.
Where buy stingray
cool
Is this in a apartment?
Mark Known Townhouse
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 ?
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
I work at an outdoor school and we also have a 300 gal Rubbermaid we are trying to build up to give our sharks a new and bigger home. what is the list of materials you used so i can best replicate?
Hi Emily, I have made a bunch of upgrades since this video. You can get in touch with me on my website by using the Contact page and I am happy to assist you from there. We have helped a school set up a pond before.
Where did you get the pre formed pond??
From a farm supply company.
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.
Could you actually have this at your house?
Yes, several people who own sharks do.
Is there an updated video?
Very soon there will be an updated video.
Why am i here, i don't even have a goldfish xp
OMG so jealous I want sharks and stingrays but stuck with tropical fish
Tropical fish are beautiful!
I love sharks
Killer Shark I like turtles
Catfsihnig me too but not all
Catfsihnig me too :)
Catfsihnig same
Catfsihnig good for u
i want to know how do you clean it i wanted a pond for my on construction 30 x 30 x30 sanctuary for my iguana and birds but my parents wont let me because we had 75 gallon tank for our oscars but it was really really really hard to clean we had to let go of our fishes?
+RED TAIL Gecko Each set up will be different, but you want to watch your water parameters to ensure that your filtration is working efficiently. You also want to do water changes as needed, change your filter media and mechanical filtration as needed as well. I definitely don't recommend keeping sharks and stingrays if you do not have saltwater aquarium experience. Start with a fish only tank first.
With enough filtration power in your pond, you should only have to do water changes every time it is needed (check your water parameters). I also recommend using a water changer device (such as python hose). It makes the water changes much easier and less messy. But you need to make sure you are using the right water when refilling, especially with a water changer. Also, make sure you stay up to date on your filter media care (rinsing the sponge every few weeks, changing the chemical medias if you use them, etc.). Get a proper cycle going and your pond should now be much less of a hassle to keep clean ;)
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?
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.
