[robreefsnake]

hi i'm new here i've kept reefs for the past 20 years .but have focused more on breeding green tree pythons recently my brother gave me a 320 gallon acrylic tank, stand , hood ,and filters.i planned on setting it up as an aggresive reef and wanted some opinions from you experts on my fish selection and coral selection my plan was about 450 lbs of various live rock , sps corals on the top (acropora montipora stylophora etc)as far as the aggresive fish i wanted to keep 2 japanees or hawaiian dragon eels one purple rhinopia one green rhinopia one orange,yellow or red angler a miniatus grouper or a polleni grouper .please let me know if you think this is feasable build or just crazy, thanks in advance .

"The Hawaiian Dragon Moray Eel should be kept in a tank by itself. It is very aggressive and will reach 2-3 feet in length. All openings on the aquarium must be secured or the Eel will escape through even the smallest spaces. It should not be placed with other Eel. "

I think this says it all ...

I have seen these housed in pairs with other fish. Both eels were full grown. There were full sized tangs along with a grouper and large broomtail wrasse. I think your stocking list should be fine. Good luck keeping that system clean though! Not only will it be really dirty due to the bioload, but you won't have a clean up crew at all.
