This thread is too funny. Since I moved to Hyannis I have been very bummed at the average size of the eels (a lot smaller than Boston) and the hours the shops keep are just not condusive to my schedule.
Last week I bought a 10 gallon aquarium tank with a 20-30 Gallon aerator. I ran a small splitter off the main tube and am using two small stones. I am keeping it in the basement workshop so temp should not be a problem. I just treated the water with a teaspooon of Ammo Lock and a Teaspoon of Foam Off. A small sprinkle of Bait Saver Crystals and I think I am good to go. I am not going to use a filter as of yet. I will do the change 1/3 of the water every few days and see how that goes.
Off to get two dozen eels (my max until I know what my capacity will be). I also now have my Barnstable shellfishing permit and it allows me to fish eel traps and those go in this weekend also. Horseshoe crabs be scared.lol
I will updae in a week or so.
