Stumbled across the forum looking for info about brackish and marine tanks. I just purchased a 75g I am hoping to turn into a home for a moray.

I currently have a 55g with quite the motley of fish. A baker's dozen of African cichlids, 2 Raphael Cats, 2 Banjo cats, a common pleco and a fire eel. I am in the process of setting up a 55g for my wife. A red tiger oscar will inhabit this tank along with the common pleco from my cichlid tank.

Before I can set up the 2nd 55 I need to build a stand for it. And I am doing research for the 75g before I do anything there. There are so many conflicting articles about the Gymnothorax tile and I don't want to do things wrong. Most seem to agree that it is brackish to marine with the adult cycle being totally marine.

I've always wanted a marine tank, but it seems so daunting. And if I did a marine setup I think I would go with a different moray as the only reason I wanted a Gymnothorax tile was because initially I read they were strickly brackish and not marine. The first eel I saw and fell in love with was the Echidna nebulosa (snowflake eel).

Almost forgot, some pics of my tank, http://picasaweb.google.com/lordfett213/CichlidTank

It depends on what kind of fish you have questions about. I've had a freshwater barracuda, a fresh water stingray (he died after 2 or 3 months due to a power outtage and then filter failure while I was out of town), piranhas, fire eels, oscars and most recently african cichlids. I'd hardly call myself an expert on any of them, but out of them all I think I have the most knowledge and experience with Fire Eels.
 
Got the stand built for my wife's 55 last night. Hopefully this weekend I can start getting some water into it and my 75 and start cycling.
