Anyone keeping a green Moray eel?

[IMAGINEER]

I was wondering how long it takes them to mature 5-7ft . What things to watch for .

I was thinking of building a custom tank for both? Recomendations anyone on size or mistakes?

I was planning on a 96x36x36 tank = 200 gal sump with liverock in the sump only

96x36x36 is way larger than 200, more along the lines of 400 if not maybe a little more. Green Moray Eels grow very large as you know. I wouldnt keep one in anything smaller than 500 Gallons personally.

I meant + 200gal sump

It will get to 2.5 - 3 ft. pretty fast - then slowly grow thereafter - probably at least 5 yrs. or more to get close to five feet if you started with a smallish one 12-16 inches.
