I think your tank looks great, girl!

What's going on with the old 55?

I just added an eel!! He's so freakin cool! He's dug out under one big rock a lovely cave and tonight he's digging under another, quite the sandstorm happening! Can't get a pic yet, he's being shy!

Oh, I SO hope your rocks are secure :wink:
I love eels ... maybe one day

OH, wait a minute, you didn't post a pic of the eel, so we don't believe you :mrgreen:

I haven't been able to get a pic yet but he's there. The rocks are good, big with large bases and nothing on top of them, so he can dig away. Dammit, now I'm gonna sneak over and see if he's out...

Coralgurl 03-30-2012 03:27 AM

Snowflake, he's about 1 foot long. Got him on Tuesday from another canreefer, ate like a pig.

nice my favorite ive kept them for years this would be one of the only times i havent had a snowflake in my reef:P be careful when feeding they are pretty blind but have a awesome sense of smell ive been bitten a few times they have teeth like steak knives so it slices pretty good, even feeding with tongs you need to be careful he dont sneak up on you.

lid??

Coralgurl 03-30-2012 03:52 AM

Making the lid tomorrow. I saw how much he can swim around so I def don't want him carpet surfing! I tried feeding tonight, wasn't interested. Will try again tomorrow.

He's hiding now so no pics...:sad:
