? on how to keep an eel in the tank and what to use.

[Blown 346]

I plan on keeping an Eel, either a Jeweled moray or a tesselata Eel in my 125. The tank is setup and is ready. My concern is keeping the Eel in the tank and not on the floor.

I have a light hanging over the tank (4 96 watt PC's), I would like to avoid putting glass tops on since they will block alot of light.

I was planning on drilling small holes in the plastic trim and zip tie egg crate to hold the Eel in. But everytime I would have to service the tank etc, I would have to go thru zip tie after zip tie. Will the Eel be strong enough to break the eggcrate? The eel would be atleast 12 Inches long and at most 16.

Any help would be great.
