Thanks. :biggrin:

My zebra eel seems a lot different from what i've read about them. He comes out a few times a day to look around. Whenever I feed the fish, he comes right out trying to catch some mysis in my powerhead stream.

Is that a purple LTA? Things look great who built your tank?

That is a purple LTA. I bought it off someone on canreef and feed it regularly so it has grown quite a bit.

The tank and metal stand were built by Concept's in Calgary. The white wood top, bottom and side I built.

Got the stand and canopy close to completion. Still need to do some fine finishing work, but I'm just about done.

I never saw your thread when you were building it. The cabinetry is awesome! How's the eel's behavior? Is he a good boy or does he get into trouble?

Thank you for the compliment.

The eel has perfect behavior. I have no missing fish or clean up crew. He comes out quite a lot now and eats daily. With the tubing under the rock work, the eel never knocks anything over either.

He's so cool, and he's so big! :eek: I didn't see any mention of the tubing, what do you have set up for him in there?

It's 2 6 foot long 3 inch thick black tubing running the length of the tank joined in the middle in 2 locations that sits under the rock. The eel actually doesn't live in the tubing though, but between the gap between the 2 long lengths. I went with 3 inch as zebra eels get 5 feet long and almost 3 inches wide. I thought I had a picture of it before it went into the tank but can't find it.

This is a side view where you can see the ends of the the 2 tubes.
