So I have a 120 gal reef tank with a zebra eel... been almost a year now and the eel was doing great but recently I started losing lots of my sps (birds nest, bird of paradise,blue acro)
My eel had a 3 ft pipe home under the sand and its 2 entrances were hidden in the rock work. I did this at the time thinking of a private home for my eel aka Moe... also I didn't want Moe ruining rock work. Well I really think the coral death was from built up left over food and eel poo in his pipe. I'd blow it out via pow head sometimes but not enough to solve the problem and I never could get it all anyway. So I decided the pipe had to go! My goal was to turn my 3 island setup to a similar 3 island setup but this time with a bigger middle island and 2 smaller side islands and the goal was to make the middle island like a cone with a hollow center for moes knew hang out spot ... well this the before ...
And this is what I got after the make over...
I was happy with what I got just thought I'd share
Left island
Middle island.
Right island
And here is a close up of the center island with Moe chillin inside
