Sharks are pretty dirty and tend to move everything not bolted down around, when they get to a nice size... don't know if I would try it unless the shark will eventually be going to that upgraded tank you mention and the clam is staying in the 125.

also how deep is the 125?

A rule of thumb that I always use is that up to 18 inches deep 175 watt bulbs.

More than 18 inches up to 26 inches 250 watt bulbs.

+30 inchs 400 watt bulbs.

yeah the island idea is cool, i just did that with my FOWLR tank. That might work pretty good for a shark.
