SteveA Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I like the picture on page 8 where the woman is holding up some fish food to let the shark get an idea of the treat is has in store for when it gets a bit bigger. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petplanet Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 That's crazy. Sand and salt mix must be cheap in the US. Retail here would be about $1800 for 800lbs of sand and $1300 for salt mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveus Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Yeah, but if that person has thoushands of dollars to build a tank like that, a couple of grand would be nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 And yes, sand and salt costs a lot less in the US. I think he said he was using southdown and ...Caribsea? Southdown is something like $50 NZ for a couple hundred pounds. If you can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
