I've read in several places that these eels are best in brackish or marine water... but before I went and acclimated my eel, I wanted to check with you guys to make sure (since there are so many species of 'freshwater morays'!).
 
Yeah they will do well in high brackish/marine conditions.
Go up slowly though remember or you will harm your filter - don't go up to 1.010+ in one go!

Awesome, thanks :) I plan on selling him soon to my LFS, and they only ever have 1 brackish tank set up at a time - usually with some puffers or small scats. They have a decent sized saltwater (almost as large as their freshwater). Since I didn't want him to be sold as freshwater to some unwary, or ignorant prospective buyer, I thought it would be better to acclimate him to saltwater, so that he can be sold as such.

Thanks again for the quick response :)
