i have the same eel and we learned early on that spot feeding was necessary to ensure the safety of his tankmates...i always feed him first and always on the same side of the tank...use a feeding stick if necessary...now whenever i open up his side of the tank he swims up to the surface before...

welcome to the board and to the hobby most likely to cause bankruptcy!!! :D

novice150's is a 1600-1700 gallon setup...to see more go here:https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show...threadid=39953 as for the other sharks check with the people posted in tony's post for more info...

i think that's going a little overboard...you can easily add a few extra fish...plus most people don't have 2000sq. ft. to themselve...plus fish have short memories so if one fish get on anothers nerves they'll both forget a few seconds later!!!:D

welcome to the hobby...as you're probably coming to realize it can easily turn into an obbsession!!!

agreed... as for the eels i would say don't try it as it's already been posted they tend to be aggressive also i think your tank is to small...however you'd problably get more answers if you were more specific...simply stating the genus isn't enough...if you're going to use scientific names...

Originally posted by MorayM Lookin' good. In my old apartment with a ton of dwarf lion tanks, I could never stop watching them. You'll see them interact as a pair and go after the same food, it's fun to watch. They used to steal food from the eels though. Although your eel looks like he can...

Originally posted by Cayman Isl Hi Mike, Unfortunately I don't think you finished the cycle. It usually takes around 8 to 9 days to see your high peak of ammonia. It would have been much higher than 0.25, more in the range of 2.0 to 4.0 ppm. As it gradually drops the nitrite will begin to rise...

personally i don't trust a short cycle like that...i'd drop 2 uncooked, unseasoned shrimp in there to make sure you get a good cycle...i've found you have less problems once you start adding fish if you start off with a strong cycle in the begining... -mike

also i just re-read your initial post and saw that you were upgrading... assuming you don't have any issues in your current tank i would suggest running the new 75 thru a full cycle and add some of the water from the current tank to help it along... one other thing, imo a 75 is two small for...

Originally posted by khilgers So would a 4" DSB with 1" of live sand over it be good enough to get things started. Also, plan on adding at least 50 lbs of live rock. Does this sound like a good start? I can always add more live sand in the future, right? that sounds like a better start...
