Moray Eel Tank progress Thread

[The Salty Reefer]

Super happy with how this tank has been bought back from the dead, little more rock going in, planning our coral usage, sump is working great, water clarity is spot on, we will be moving the Eels more than likely in another week
Leopard and 3 white eyed will look great in this tank
Light suggestion for this tank guy's? we will be wanting to keep GSP and morphs and some easy leathers etc in with the eels (Tank is 6x3x18)

Just in time, Hanna check units came in the mail today

Lots more rock work in tonight, 2 part epoxy used to hold a few bits in here and there
looking great, few tests over the next few days and then in with the Eels on Sunday night

 

[The Salty Reefer]

decided to move the Eels tonight, easy move all well behaved, man they look amazing in their new tank, didnt use the filters on the phone but still looked brilliant

Large net, walked him from the front of the house to the lounge and into the new tank

 

[The Salty Reefer]

Added some soft corals, they look great, he is loving life, fed up on some squid and octopus
loving this tank

How do you keep a monsters like that from carpet surfing at night. Do you have a weighted down glass canopy? My last eel wasn’t half the size as your beauties and he popped up the lid and surfed twice.

Hey mate
I have a custom piece of Polycarb suntuff sheeting on top and its anchored to the top, allows light through for the corals also, its pretty heavy and the boys are fed well
They had lighter sheets on the previous tank and never once breached them

 

[Dave1993]

How long have you had him and do u know his size? i'm very jelly would love a eel just don't trust my floor with a tank that size

 

[ReefRusty]

Im setting up a 4x3 eel tank myself!

Did your eels eat right away after the move? My jeweled moray is finicky with refusing food after I even move a rock in his current tank lol .

as dave said, white eyed Morays, there's actually 3 in the tank, they get on well, been in there the entire time with the big fella, and the only tank mates he has ever tolerated

hey mate, nice size, yeah we never had any trouble with them eating, even this latest move they got fed the day after and smashed it, occasionally when its warmer they will slow down alittle

I absolutely love your animals, gorgeous beasts. Though I am a little bit biased towards the white eyes, as I look to my left and see my lil' guy poking his head out of his hole.

Also, seeing your grown white eyes, I clearly did not know what I was getting myself into. In a couple years this guy is going to be the size of my arm!

Beautiful. Consider me jealous.

 

[The Salty Reefer]

Thanks mate
the white eyes we call the 3 stooges, they are hilarious in and out of the pipework, very bold and they snatch food off the big fella, and very personable, they get to a good size, and these boys are well fed and loved
Glad you like them
