UCLA fan?

yes sir

[rscott76]

the pipe cave concept is an awesome concept though...i wonder if the two eels ever back into each other. I would think that detrius settling into the tubes would become a problem though...

[wsun083]

what's the exact purpose of the pipe? is it to keep the eel from eating the fish?

As for the eels backing into each other no problem. You see a mixture of eels at fish store in one pvc pipe and they dont fight.

How about these? Its ABS pipe then covered in those fake rock mixes.

will, i think its so that they have a place to hide...

pump-less closed loop setup. the eels laminar motion provides circulation for the whole tank.

In one of the videos or pictures it shows a linkia star coming out or going into the tube, so im assuming it cleans it out. Although I would be worried about sand filling up the tube and burying the eel alive

That is really cool. I wish I had seen that BEFORE I dumped 100s of lbs of rock in my tank... ;P

What a odd group of fish. In one video I saw 2 seahorses, snowflake eel, ribbon eel, lookdown fish, yellow tang, purple tang, 6 coral cats, several damsels, clownfish, lawnmower blenny and a manderian.

The author wrote that the snowflake tried to drag the ribbon eel out of the pipe so found a new home for the snowflake.
