Eel proofing my 75gallon. Suggestions???


I have a Snowflake eel in my Propagation tank right now but I would like to put it in my display tank. I have it in a large plastic cage in a 55 by himself. Every other day I let him out to explore a larger area. I want to move him to my reef 75 gal but would like some suggestions on eel proofing it first As I lost an eel in another tank before which I thought was eel proof. All inhabitants have been checked for compatabillity with the eel so no problem there. I have read of some ideas for a cover but I have never seen anything that says what to do around overflows and piping. I have an open top aquarium with an Outerorbit fixture, so the thing has to not be to noticable. Any ideas or links are greatly appreciated.

Michael

I had a snowflake eel I had to get rid of No matter what I did he would find a way out. usually ended up in the sump. Also when ever I would feed anything he would go nuts and bite everything. After he ripped one of my lions fins I decided it was time for him to go.
