Some pictures and update.

The snake we found when moving the tank in the house. Very non-agressive and we were able to hold it lol.



Started filling the tank



I started shimming the tank and look what came running out.... this one drowned... I hate these things. Also that shim is 1.5" wide



How the tank looks as of last night with the addition of 360lbs of sand. I still have 100lbs more.

wow, that thing is massive. 360lbs of sand thats allot of sand- what sand did you use?

also scorpions are beasts. i used to have a couple of those in my 150G tank they are dangerous.

I used fiji pink live sand. The one I was going to use at first was a fine bright white sand but the cost was the same as live sand. I have ~100lbs more from the old tank I transfer over too. That way the stingray will have plenty of area to submerge. Plus, helps hide the PVC system for the eels.

Yea, I hate scorpions. I have been stung to many times and its never fun. Guess that what you get for living in the country

I did jump back because I was not expecting that. Plus, I was working that corner, took a few minute break and it ran out when I started again. Thankfully I had my feeding tweezers right by me.

Added the eels last night and the lionfish.

I think I like large eels more than small eels. The Tessalata was happy and relaxed in the new tank. The ribbon eel went nuts. About an hour after adding the ribon it ended up in the bottom of the overflow box. It took me 30 minutes to get him out of there. I added the eggcrate lid to prevent that happening again and within 10 minutes the ribbon eel jumped onto the floor! Added him back to the tank, added plastic window screen over the tank. 300g and it still wants to jump out!

See if he is in the tank when I go home today.

So far going good. Tank not ready for nice pictures yet.
