Personally I think it would be fine, unless your shark likes to hide, or hunt in sand (I don't know too much about sharks).

There have been a few people who did FO tanks BB though, and they worked out great, the fish were healthier and happier for the better W/Q.

as long as the glass stays clean and smooth you should be fine. the bellies of most Elasmobranchs are sensitive to abrasion. it is important to keep things soft for them to lay on. if corraline starts building up you might have to go with a shallow soft SB for thier comfort.

shark tanks need to be extremely long and wide. kinda hard unless it's a shallow pool. good luck
