Debating putting in a zebra moray eel. Never had one but hear that they don't bother fish and they look amazing... Not planning to do a lot of CUC but if it eats a shrimp so be it.

Anyone have one??

They're awesome though I've never had one so can't speak from experience. That said, all eels will get out if they want to so you have to have a tight fitting lid across top of tank and the overflow.
 
Grabbed a zebra moray eel and a multibar angelfish that were both eating very well.

Heres a quick video of the zebra eel.

 
Well alot has happened since my last update.. First off I had an ich outbreak and all i have left from the original fish is one tough little leopard wrasse. I ran the tank fallow for 11 weeks and set up a qt out of a used 29 biocube. Now the display has a few fish in it and the qt has a few others being treated now.

My current list includes:
Quoyi Parrotfish
Leopard wrasse
Naoko wrasse
Goldflake angelfish juvie
Rhomboid wrasse submale

And in qt:
Mustard tang small
Majestic angel sm adult

The tank seems to be doing well now and ive got a few small corals in it and am dosing A/B as well to keep the water chemistry right. Nitrates are almost 0 and phosphates were close to 0 also.

Pics and video to come...
 
Oh and i returned the zebra eel. As cool as it was, it was going to cause long term water quality issues so I took him back.
 
Some water parameters today...

Nitrates: 0
Phos: 0.03
Calcium: 400
Alk: 10.4
Salinity: 1.022
Temp: 78-81
Ph: 8.0 steady
 
Ich sucks... QT is key to successful tank. Do you know what caused the outbreak ?
