Golden Dwarf Moray Reef Size?

[Haley]

I recently bought what seems like the last pair of golden dwarf morays! They are curently in my brothers 32g biocube until I can get a tank set up for them. I know thats bad form but I just had to jump on the chance to own my favorite eels!!! Especially since I work at the LFS and bought them AT COST.

ANYWAYS...my question is what would be better in the long run a 80 gallon or a 120? I am currently partial to the innovative marine shallow reef series, much easier for someone like me with short arms to maintain. Also I believe having more room length wise would be optimal for the eels. I know very well that bigger is always better, but how hard is it going to be to find these little dudes in a 120? I'm worried I won't be able to find and feed them. The female is only the size of my pink and the male my midle finger (and I have very small hands!).

I am planning to mostly do stony corals and peaceful fish, mainly fairy wrasses. Also my standard mated pair of mandarins.

I am also moving within the next two months from Florida to Maine...so transportation of the tanks is also on my mind. But the health of my fish is always first and formost.

SORRY IF THIS IS IN THE WRONG FORUM

I have a pair and they always hang in the same area so I didn't think they need that large of a tank. You will need to cover the tankmi find the smaller one I my dunno a few times until I covered the overflow teeth with being

Not sure what you meant to say in that second sentence there? I think something about covering up small spaces so they can't jump? If thats the case both the innovatived marine shallow reef tanks come with a fine mesh cover. Heres a look at how tight it hugs the corners

Oops sorry meant to say make sure tank is cover cause they are escape artists. I had the smaller one escape into my sump through the overflow teeth. Had to cover it with drain netting.
