A standard 120 gallon now has two 4 x 1 swimming lanes doubled back on each other for 8 feet of swimming. Lol here we go!

I vote for large reef and plumb a secondary tank into it for your eel and whatever else. Sorta like Doug with his sorta-seahorse thing. Can't recall what he calls that tank now lol.

Haha yeah I hope they aren't on to me lol and no I'm not thinking anything huge I've seen too many cramped up fish in small tanks if I go aggressive in that end it will be med sized fish and not too many.

If I go pred in the 75g it would have to be a eel only but I would make a zoa garden after to cover up any piping :)

that seems to be what people like is the reefs and I do as well so I am interested in a large reef and we all know there's coral we have to buy when it comes along lol :)

soooooo .... I'm thinking I will go large reef one side with lps, nem's and liverock and I will do the adjacent side in tonga branch , some leathers and hardy sps , this side will have lots of caves and tunnels etc.

I will keep my eel in the 75 portion littered with zoa's everywhere and some nice Jakarta rock I have it's soooo nice

any suggestions on something cool I could do for tankmates with my eel without being too large or being possible food??

Has anyone ever kept a pair if snowflakes???:)
