Very nice, I have been toying with putting a small eel in my reef, would you do it again, does it knock everything over, etc.... It sure looks cool!!

It doesn't knock a thing over Hammercoral but it does stir up the sand bed every now and then. They will dig their own tunnel system that they like to keep nice and neat, this makes for a cloudy tank every now and then.
I figure it's like the ocean, not everyday is beautiful and clear.

Thank you Zoku!

Very nice tank Newschool04. Can you tell me what your bulb combination is on your 6 bulb tek light fixture is? Also how are your colors and growth doing with the tek setup. Again, very nice. Michael R

I have had a ton of success with T5's going back to 1/2005. Unbelievable growth, great color, they are as legit as MH for stonies.

not with the acros or clams but they definitely go after fleshy LPS. Open brains, etc. I would think twice before adding them when I go bigger but I'll probably do it because I really do like the color and the personality.

It's just a cheapo Casio all in one, 4 mega pixels. It has a white balance setting where you can bring it through about 6 different choices, I just chose the one that looks like real life and shoot away.
All pics are without the flash except the eel pic.

Here's a better pic of the snowflake eel I got tonight. Still haven't named him so if you have a good name, I'm listening!

Nice tank! As my son would say...sweeeet! I had a snowflake eel many years ago. Great fish. Eventually he got too big for the 55G I had at the time. It was hard to give him up. Mine was trained to come to the surface when I tapped the front glass. That was how I fed him.

How long have you had that tank setup and did you grow most of those colonies from frags?
