if you still don't have a stand try out ordering one from http://www.midwestcustomaquariums.com/cabinetry/steel-support-frames/ they make some weird shaped and sturdy stands. good luck with that.

Just read the whole thread. Haven't been on DVRC in a while (just renewed my membership) and must have missed this.
Awesome build - all of it. That's one heck of a DT, dream worthy indeed. Love the super fuge you've got going there. Interesting to see the chaeto won over the caulerpa. In my fuges, its always caulerpa that wins.

There's only something like 200 types of moray to choose from. The colour of its skin and eyes helps. What colour is the inside of its mouth? Knowing where it came from would also help narrow the search.
Here's the rest of the stuff you might want to use in your search:
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Anguilliformes
Family: Muraenidae Moray eels
Subfamily: Muraeninae
Genus: Gymnothorax
Here's how far I got in guessing.
Beyond this you're going to have get into counting how many rays in its fins.

Story is, owner bought the eel from a breeder in nj and, after owning for awhile, brought it to my lfs where it is currently for sale. So, i would need to speak to owner to locate breeder. I have not observed inside if its mouth. This may be a 7 foot species in which case i would not be interested. Thanks for the reference.
New addition. Large carpet
Nice tank. I had a blue carpet,but it ended up some of my fish so I got rid of it. Beautiful piece.

Ever decide between an eel or octo?

I vote Octopus. Talk to Mike @ ASR and he can probably find you an O. vulgaris.

Will not post any photos of DT. Ashamed to say i allowed pulsing zenia to spread like weed and smother some corals. Currently in the process of removing all zenia and placing it in the connected 135 in the basement.
I really need to evaluate the escape routes in the 135 before i attempt the octopus but i do think it could work.
