60% of common lfs moray eels can live in a 125 or smaller.


90% can live in a 250 or smaller.

They are actually very easy to house, and require much less room than any fish.

IF I ever got Saltwater I would HAVE to get a Dragon Moray or whatever kind of Moray you have if it can live in a 125g. And I'd need some Bambo sharks and I forgot how big of a tank they need.

I don't know why everyone says setup cost is so bad for reefs... I'm desiging a 1000gal that total including fully stocked with corals and fish is going to be under 8k... granted its going to be about 90% DIY and all the corals will be frags... but most of that stuff isnt overly complex to DIY.... tank DIY being the hardest.

Oh canuck have you heard the latest? I'm going to be putting 2 or 3 golden dwarf morays into my reef (yes willing to risk my inhabitants for those beauties).

HELL YEA!


They honestly shouldn't cause to much of a problem. Be sure to train them to your hand and your person etc... For instance, my toadfish will not eat baby clownfish or firefish because he is so use to my hand, but they would make a good meal for him anytime he wanted...

atleast a 500-1000 for bamboo... They get 4ft;)
 
Salt has its positives and negatives. Freshwater is cheaper more or less but I think salt is more of a final challenge of fish keeping. You can keep the best fresh water tank and not be able to keep a steady 10 gal reef tank.
 
I recently went through the same thing. At one time I had over 20 tanks. I have slimmed down now to 1 8 foot 240, a 125, 75 thats empty, and a biocube. I have to agree that saltwater reefs are the major leagues when it comes to fish keeping. I also feel that salt is much more expensive, but its worth it. Dont get me wrong, I have about 3K wrapped up in my frontosa tank as well. In salt its like each fish has its job to do. I really like the mindset that comes with salt community tanks. You are designing a total eco system. I love Frontosa, but it honestly gets old watching them. I have watched my little saltwater tank more in the last few weeks then I have my 240 over this last year. If I were you I would go with a cool community setup. I think a 100 gallon is about perfect for salt. I would definately start fish with live rock. Slowly add the rock until you can get it ready as a reef. If you have Lace rock you can even put that in their with live rock, so that it can turn live. That would save you a ton of money and chances are that you probably already have some pieces since you have been in the hobby for years. GL
 
Way cooler than cichlids IMO. Come on go pred. Salt is IMO as easy to take care of as fresh. But then again if ya love what you are doing than nuthing seems hard. Or even a nice comunity reef or Fowler looks good if you pick the right fish. Can't remember who said nobody here has touched the pretty lil fish I got two platys and two neons lol they just caught my eye.
