yes, eels are very strong and are also escape artists. They are capable of pushing tops off their tanks. I would suggest that you get some sort of clamps that attach to your tank and hold the to down. what kind of tank do you have? and what kind of eel did you get?

I have a 125g saltwater reef tank and i have a snowflake moray eel i have some pics of it in the pic forum. I'm using plexi glass to cover the areas where the eel could jump out.

This issue is over-hyped in my experience. I currently do not have a cover for the back half of my tank. Do build a cover for yours, but don't lose too much sleep over it. I suppose snowflakes are more active than the G. tile I own.

I already built a plexi glass area for the back half of my tank and yes snowlfakes are very fun intresting and active.
