Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

If your gonna use a filter itd be wise to start cycling it now with some gold fish or other hard to kill varieties. Having a cycled filter will really help keep the water cleaner, and the eels alive and stress free longer. It takes about 30 days to cycle, do a search at aqaurium websites on cycling tanks, will give you the rundown.

If you want to cycle a filter you don't need fish, just dump an ounce of pure ammonia into the water. If you run into ammonia buildup problmes down the road there is a product called "Amquel" that will neutalize its effect on fish. A google search should turn up sources for it. It come in gallon sizes which are much cheaper than the little bottles you'll find in pet shops.
