I am in the early stages on planning my second tank.
The goal for this tank is primary to keep the dragon Eel, and no other fish.
Planning to have macro-algae to keep Nitrates down, because of the huge bio-load from the Eel. Will have Dragon Breath and Flame types of algae in the tank.
I am already cultivating one of the best looking Flame Algae I have ever seen.
The color is very deep it looks like wet blood. Still looking for Dragon Breath, which I was told, will be able to buy around March.
Allot people do not know what Dragon Breath looks like, even Vendors are clueless.
Short video for those that care to see one.

This will also be fully Automated with my Profilux like my first tank, including live feeds for all to enjoy.
Rock work will be all mortar together with PVC tunnels hidden within the rocks.
The back of the tank wall will be all rocks fixed with rocks and more tunnels for the Eel.
I am still stuck with the tank and chiller.
I am considering a corner tank for this project, a least 100 gallons.
Thinking this type of tank will give me the depth I am looking for, but not sure if its big enough for this type of Eel.
Also I am not sure about the Temps, without a chiller, my temps will never get over 80, but it can stay around the 79.
Websites are saying 72-78 for this type of Eel, not sure if this is correct.
Also will have sump with a good size skimmer, with CO2 Scrubber my PH will always stay around 8.2 Ph.
Need ideas on the tank, I really do not like the long tanks, and the temperatures I need maintain to keep this Eel.
Thanks.
