i have a reef devil delux. it is over rated for my tank so im good there. and i have a 30g sump/wetdry/fuge. i dont have any levels.
how aggressive are blue ribbons? i know they are hard to keep but jut wondering.
and what are other good eels
and my humu gets along with everyone no problem ever. during feeding time he shows sme aggression but not really any at all. he doesnt pick on anyone. at one point in time he used to sleep with a peppermint shrimp...

Blue ribbon eels should not even be considered. You are lucky if one out of 100 lives. They have a terrible mortality rate.

through my costly experiance,a green wolf,though not truley a eel is an awsome addition to a agressive tank but is vey costly.my wolf was only about 6-8 inch and he tore up every thing i put in the aquarium,including a v.lion.marron clown,n.trigger and evan a yellow head moray.though the yellow head bit him in half and died less than 24 hrs later.my conclusion though pet stores tell u u can keep eels together and they evan do it.try hard not to even if its just for a day or two to make some adjustments to youre other tank.the best eel i have ever kept is the snowflake,simple,hardy,managable

Ribbon eels die in about 1 month in captivity and a snowflake eel is probly the best for your tank.

Sorry, I really do not like eels whatsoever, so I do not prefer one over the other. If I had to choose any, I would go with the green wolf "eel", but that doesn't count, since it is a dottyback. I just wanted to add to the information of the blue ribbon eels, as I feel it is important to help people stop buying animals that will not do well in their care.

I've got a 125 with very similar setup to yours in regards to fish and equipment, only major difference is that I have a volitan, and a different refuge/sump.
But anyway, heres another vote for the snowflake eel. I got him at like 6" or so for 40.00 (or so), and hes now pushing around 10" long, bout as big around as a sharpie pen. He isnt aggressive to my fish, very easy to feed, fun to watch, and quite easy to take care of. Most often he is found buried in the sand or hiding in the LR...Hell I forget hes in there till I see him swimming back and forth at feeding time.

I really really like jeweled morays their halfway agressive and id say mine would probally gleafully eat little fish
but no mandrins wont be eaten
they produce a slime which makes them hard to swallow and tast nasty to begin with
