More eel pics

[aquaman67]

I'm not any better at taking pics, but eels don't come out and pose either.

Here's what I got.

Peeking out.

This one shows the pattern pretty well.

No, he has a couple friends.

A Picasso Trigger and a Starry Hermit.

Aqauman I have to ask what type of filtration are you using and what type of sand are you using because it looks absolutely beautiful. I would like to use a similar setup on my new 210 gallon when I move in 3 months.

Thanks for the compliment.

I'm using the Marineland Tidepool II for a filter. It has a bag of Kent's Nitrate Sponge, a couple filter pads, a Poly-Filter and a bag of Kent's Reef Carbon in the trays. I also use a ASM G-2 Skimmer.

Here's a pic of of the set up.

As for the sand, it's called Estes Marine Sand. I found it a the LFS after seeing Dubbin1's awesome eel tank. Here's a link. Better eel, same sand.

The sand is cool because it doesn't cloud up at all when someone digs in it and it stays white. It came in 5 lbs bags. I don't know if you can find or order larger bags. I have no idea how many 5 LBS bags it would take for a 210 gallon tank, but it would be expensive.

Good luck on your new tank!

Aquaman, thank you for the information and I will definitely be using the sand that you recommended for my new setup As for the 210 gallong setup just for the tank and the stand I'm looking at $900.00 to $1,000.00 dollars which is not bad at all for the price. Thank god those wonderful folks at American Express gave me a credit card with no limit so that I can provide for my little ones. Do you think that sand will stay white even though I have messy eaters such as Puffers and Lionfish. Plus my newest addition should love the sand (Banded Bamboo Cat Shark).

You're welcome.

I think the sand will stay white. Mine has been set up for about 6 months now and it's still as white as the day I put it down.

I haven't vacuumed it either. I always mean to when I do water changes, but I always forget.
