True but I posted the question and didn't get responses until the next day and by that time I had slept on it, done my own research and thought it through. It's not that I don't value peoples opinions otherwise I wouldn't ask but at the end of the day I still get the final say and I didn't get anyone talking from personal experience that it was a bad idea. I've kept this type of eel before and my experience tells me that they prefer confined spaces.
As for starting backwards, I agree it would be a better approach and a more typical one for me by nature but not for this particular build. I wanted the edge and I'm not in a situation right now that would have allowed be to build my own with more reasonable dimensions. However as time goes on I may be able to build a new tank with the same design and larger dimensions to replace this one so all hope isn't lost. This is actually a plan that remains in the back of my head and why I over sized the stand.
