My son (Josiah) has always tolerated me taking him to any LFS. Once he saw an eel he was hooked. He’s been asking me to have an eel for the last two years. I resisted even after moving and having my old Red Sea Reefer 250 available.
I cycled the tank over the past few weeks, built a PVC labyrinth below the 5” sand bed, and built a rock structure that is eel-friendly.
The Fimbriated Moray Eel at Aquatic Collection caught his attention a few weeks ago. I was hoping it was sold each time we returned but alas it was not. I pulled the trigger today (he doesn’t know yet) and he’ll get to see his new eel when I pick him up from camp tomorrow. Thank goodness he was understanding when I said the Dragon Eel cost too much - $$$
Equipment:
Red Sea Reefer 250
Varios 2 return pump
Reef Octopus Regal 150SSS
Acrylic Lid!!!! - tight fitting - will put weight on feed door!!!
Apex and Trident
2 XR Gen 6 - gotta cut holes in lid or buy hanging kit
2 MP10s for internal flow
I gotta get some long acrylic or stainless steel tongs. Josiah is responsible for feeding!
The tank will end up housing some anemones- might go exotic slowly, zoas, and a Japanese Weeping Willow if I can find one.
I’ll slowly add some smaller fish (grow out for the S-850) but not too small so they don’t turn into sushi! I gotta buy snails (cuc) to keep the substrate turned and cleaned and help with the glass.
Anything, that I’m not thinking of?
