    wish I took more pic's. the pluming work is all behind the tank(s), but no pic if it. there is a LOT of PVC used. I decided that I did not want to use any hoses or tubbing that can break/leak/wear out.

    when the PCV connects to some of the pumps/filters I have a reinforced hose that I use. there is ~ 2" to absorb some of the vibration, but that's it.

    Do you feed the horses live brine shrimp? How do you keep enough to feed them all??

    I feed them a mix. Their main diet (at the moment) is Frozen Mysis shrimp. I do have live brine shirmp that I feed them as well. I have tried a few options for keeping brine shirmp. I found a site that gives some advice on keeping them (not sure it's helping). I have a 5 gallon tank that I am trying to raise them in. I have bough live ones online and now I will try to raise them from eggs. ( we will see) I am thinking of giving my 5 gallon tank to my nephew ( it's a plastic one from my lfs) and taking his one gallon. My thought is with 2 or 3 one gallon tanks, I can have several stages of brine shrimp ( I do understand that I might just be crazy and it won't work)

    I really want you to get a video of you putting feeder goldfish in with the eel. That would make me rather happy.
