So, finally getting an eel and I'm preparing my tank for it. Most likely a snowflake - possibly a zebra. I'm going to glue down some important pieces of rock that kind of hold everything together and most importantly, making sure the tank is sealed.
So, I'm using eggcrate for a top right now. The sides and corners are held down pretty tightly on the sides and front by my lights, the back I'm going to weight down, just to be safe - it seems pretty secure now. But, can anyone give me any feedback on eggcrate for eel tanks? Obviously, it depends on the size of the eel, but should eggcrate be okay as long as the eel's head is a little wider than the holes in the eggcrate or will they be able to squeeze through? Maybe I should go glass? The problem is that I have a 110 tall tank and I'd like as much gas exchange as posssible.
Thanks, all.
