New reef tank

[cbinboston]

Hello all,
I am currently planning out my first reef tank. It's going to be a 155 gallon with liverock, inverts, some fish and a mixture of corals.
I would love to have a snowflake eel in the tank, however I am concerned about the eel's compatibility with the inverts and the corals. What do snowflakes not get along with?

:nope: "It can be housed with some invertebrates, like anemones and corals, but not crustaceans."
You'd have to worry about your shrimp, snails, and small crabs.

Its not a great idea to put eels in reef systems becua their waste output could be damaging to the water. You'd be better off with reef compatible fish, that way yer corals wont be at risk, and u can keep inverst/shrimp as well.
