ok id really like to get some info on the pipefish and the garden eels..
for the pipefish, how do they cope with the flow and do they just scavage for pods?
what do the garden eels eat, where did you get them, are they small invert safe and how deep a sand bed do they need?

The pipe fish tend to stay in lower parts of the tank being that my tank is 30" high and my strong flow is about 10" to 12" of the tank, they do just fine mid to lower area of the tanks, i've notice that they really care for cyclopeze . The garden eels are meaty eaters but would not recommend to most hobbiest because there very hard to keep, i have a 6" sand bed in most areas of my tanks=&postid=12945087#post12945087 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by EnderG60 [/i]

Great tank - love the corals and the fish.
Question on the Garden Eels? How are they? Do they "play nice" I wanted a Moray Eel in my tank, but was cautioned and discouraged to keep one due to the aggressiveness, ultimate size and praying on tank mates.
But Garden Eels could be a nice substitute. I always enjoy seeing them while scuba diving. What's your experience been with them in captivity? What do they eat and how do they behave?
Thanks, Itay.

I was asking about the pipefish because I want those, but hte garden eels I was asking about just out of curiosity since i havent seen any in capivity besides at the GA aquarium. I am by no means a novice, but I aint doing those since I will never have that much sand in my tank 
How long have you had them, and how big are they? Do they ever leave thier holes?

I really did my home work on these and also been to a cupple of places that have been able to keep these eels successfully and honestly feel that i've done everything possible to try and give them a chance in my tank. I introduce 6 and 1 die pretty much in the bag it came in. As for the other 5 have been doing very well. All i can do is try and cover all angles that i can to try and keep them alive.
they have not been aggressive at all, i put all types of meaty food in there and the pick at everything, at the beginning they would not really eat due to fish swimming by them while i feed, now there pretty used to the fish swimming by since none have try to be aggressive with them, I've had them for about 4 months now.

wow djay great thread and an awesome tank. word up!
and kudos to you for keeping it real w/ teh corals.
one question to ya- are you getting good growth from them? (better in the frag tank or the display?) sorry if i missed it what type of lighting are you using for your frag tank? pic of the final look perhaps?
are you seeing any chemical warfare b/w ur frags? and just have been wondering, you have like a million frags - do they run into each other as they grow?
definitely awesome in general tho, looking forward to following your progress
