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! 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.

Ha, that's annoying the little booger doesn't even live in the tubing!

It was at first but some of my other fish hang out in the tubing so it hasn't gone to waist.
