wow i wish i had one
This is my Gymnothorax Flavagineus the Honeycombe, black spotted or tessellated moray eel. Saltwater of course.
I got it in 2006 at Aquarium Services Big Al's Oakville from SimonL. It was about 20" then and is now around 36". It is in a 225g (851 litres) with a shoal of 12 Monodactylus argenteus. It eats mackerel, herring, trout salmon etc. I used my Big Al points and only had to pay the tax.
Really neat fish who begs for food when you go past the tank.

Sorry no layout but one way I max space is by stacking all my 180's and a lot of my 120's.
Underneath my 520 I have a 240 and a 250. Underneath some of my others I have 50's etc.
Planning like this allow far more tanks in the same floor space.
I also spread tanks in several areas upstairs as well as the entire basement. I also keep reasonable space around tanks for viewing as I need space for the wheelchair.
that is one gorgeous moray !!

You are right there are a few funny looking green terrors (Aequidens rivulata) in there that I picked up 4/$1 at an auction in 2009.
The Jack Demsey's (Rocio octofasciatus) I also got 4/$1 at the same auction. I also bred them so there are a few of those also in the 15,000.
I keep Dempseys also in the 52,000 and two 180's.
Actually yesterday I saw a big male about 8" (hard to judge) swimming at 9 feet deep and about 13 feet from the glass in the 52,000. I had not seen him before so probably a baby that grew up in the rocks.
