Thanks for the info....I try to keep it well feed...3-4 silversides soaked in zoe 1-2 times a week and shrimp ever other week. Basically whatever silver sides teh trigger and eel don;t want go into the BTA(or whatever ones the clown steals!). yes I ordered it back in Feb from the LFS i used to go to all the time by work back in Jan with no luck...I found a MUCH better LFS closer to home and had them order it for me....2 weeks from the order date he had 2 of them! and since then it has been his best selling eel! he always hooks me up since he sells them all the time now. Hes doing really well too...he used to eat 2-3 silver sides everyday, now he makes a lap around the tank everynight to let me know when he is ready to eat so hes been getting one a night...AWESOME FISH! Love it!!

You could do feather dusters, christmas tree worms, sun corals (some orange,some black), mushrooms,chili corals(hate light),and sponges. I think with that you could actually have a pretty interesting tank.

I'm working on FOWLR for now, once i get some experience I would like to convert it to a Reef tank, once i get some more experience with it... I look atall the tanks in here and get jealous. There is another 55g tank under that one, but right now its empty. Hopefully I'd like to get that one up and running w/in the next year or so, possibly as an agressive tank, not too sure yet. Going to be adding LR to the running tank about every 2 weeks or so, was told not to put too much in at once b/c of spikes, so I'm trying to be careful.

Yep, and I got the canopy from petsmart. It doesnt match exactly since its oak and the stand is pine but its close. They make canopies to match the stand but it wouldnt work for my lights.
