Awesome pic-up!!!

Went to the LFS and came across this beauty! He's just shy of 18" and seems to be acclimating very well...although he keeps climbing into the HOB filter and i had to pick him up off the floor once already. I temporarily lowered the water level to keep him in the tank until i can further 'eel-proof' the tank. Here are a few pics with more to come! Enjoy!

Photos were taken during a waterchange...that's why the tank looks like crap.
