Cleaning it is relativly easy. #1 Feed Eel so much he dont want anymore, even if rammed in his face with chopsticks holding it. If he dont take it he is full .
#2 when full they sort of hibernate or sleep alot.
#3 Be EXTREEMLY careful and dont linger too long in front of him, and wipe the inside glass down good then vacume the bottom with a air powered bubbler vac gizmo and your done.
About once every 2 months I do a water change since he's such a slob, tears and shreds his food slinging shit everywhere. So I find it easiest to keep it clear like Jabbas is by adding 100 gallons of fresh ocean water when it looks crappy or gets polluted by dead fish. I use 2 55 gallon drums and a boat bilge pump I hook to my truck to fill the drums from the beach a block from my house, takes maybe a hour to complete the pump is super fast. At home its even faster,
I use a swimming pool pump for circulating the water and filtering it (I built pools and spas for 8 years) eels are reef fish and like the water movement, it brings food to them (lazy fucks)
The tank is about 200 gallons the filter maybe 100 and its outside where the tank is in the living room.
I also put hundreds of breeders in at a time for a laff, I get them near a close by sea life park center (like a small Marine World) theres a return water pipeline from there main pumping station that has them coming out constantly you just swim out to the pipe about a mile and half offshore and take your dive goodie bag down to the pipe hold it in the outflow a few minutes and it will be so full you cant hold it out of the water!
Big problem here is its Tiger Shark territory because of all the little fish..... must be wary but most of the time they leave you alone, if they get close take your regulator out and let a big stream of bubbles out as you swim in they dont like the bubble stream and will cruise off. Learned that trick from Mr. Coustou.. got to do a dive with him and his son once learned more in one dive with him than I did in 10 years with friends LooL

so how do you clean the tank dude? i feel scared just looking at the pics. i am hoping to get a tiny lion fish and some big angels and tangs to balance out hopefully.
