I'm going to be starting a new build for a snowflake eel tank but was wondering what size pvc I should use. I like to make rockwork and I build one over a year ago for my friend who had a golden dwarf and it worked great. I just can't find info on how big around a snowflake can get so I know what size pipe to buy, anyone got an idea?

I'd say 1.5" for an adult. Though for a smaller one you may want to work in some 1".

Mine is about half of her adult size. This is how big around she is, not super thick but she should double in size when shes fully grown.
