Hi, i'm Kevin and i'm 14 years old (till the 24 then i'm 15) I have been keeping fish for 4 years now. I started out with goldfish and gradually moved up to discus keeping. After this I decided to try my hand at saltwater. I now have a 55 and a 20 gallon tank. The 55 is freshwater and the 20 is salt. The 55 houses a Pair of Discus (female snakeskin 5.5", male Red Marlboro 5.0"), the 20 houses 1x Blue Damsel (2.5"), 1x Three Stripe Damsel (2"), and 1x Snowflake Eel (12"). The 55 is a barebottom with 2x 300watt heaters, a hang on the back filter (about to kick the can), 2x 24" florescent light fixtures, a Sponge filter, and a Asian Airstone. The 20 has 1x 24" floescent light fixture, 15 lbs. Florida Crushed Coral substrate, a couple of flowerpots for the eel, 1x 150 watt heater, and 1x peguin 150 bio-wheel filter. I want to be able to switchout the two tanks and make the 55 into a "reef" tank. The Discus will be fine in the 20 as it is just a air not a school, the eel however, I don't know how much longer he can go in the smallish tank.
well I think that's about it.
Thanks for any replys,
Kevin

The Eel will need a larger home very soon. Eels however, are not compatible in a reef tank. Your best looking at a Fish only saltwater tank.
