Two eels in mixed reef?

[DylanE]

I've got a bit of a dilemma. I'm upgrading from my 75g to a 310g glasscages tank that is currently en route. I've had a snowflake eel for about 8 months that has been super well behaved and I've grown somewhat attached to. But, I just finally found and purchased my holy grail fish - a 10ish inch dragon moray. I'm now planning to base my 310 stocking around larger fish that will potentially do well with the dragon, but I'm wondering if two eels will be too much bioload to keep a mixed reef. The snowflake is currently about 18" and doesn't seem too bad in the 75, but I'm worried that down the line both of them will create enough waste to prevent happy coral. If that's the case, I'll have to find a good home for the snowflake in the next few weeks.

Just up your filtration if needed. I think with a fuge, filter roller and big skimmer you should be good

I have 4 morays in my 300 gallon. You would be totally fine

Awesome, glad to hear it. What do you do for nutrient export? What skimmer?

Right now I run it bare bones, skimmer, some media, UVs and the return pumps. Works for me! Skimmer is a nyos quantum 220. I really like it! My stocking list is:
Zebra moray
Jeweled moray
White eye moray
Snowflake moray
Blue spot grouper
Sohal tang
Sailfin tang
Purple tang
Clown trigger
Hawkfish
Tomato clown
Three stripe damsel

I also run FOWLR. No CUC right now either
