Garden eels!! I find them fascinating creatures but they are definitely not for beginners.

Hope they will survive long term... they are zooplanktivores and should be in a species only tank as they are extremely shy creatures. Try cyclopeze and see if they will pop out to feed.

And they will nullify the effects & benefits of a DSB because of their deep burrowing activity. In fact, it is recommeded that you provide a 12 inch DSB for them.

I am tempted to convert my empty cube refugium into a species only tank for garden eels.

I can easily do a 12 inch DSB, leaving me with 6 inch of water for an eel garden! :lol:

Actually, for a 3ft tank... you do seem quite overstocked.

Your AT may not do so well too... a 2 month tank is quite young for it. Your filtration system will be taxed heavily... and with garden eels affecting the denitrification benefits of a properly set up (and undisturbed) DSB... you're in danger of a crash or a major nuisance algae outbreak soon, IMO.

Just keep a close eye on your water quality or we'll see you restocking your livestock in a few weeks/months time. ;)
