SeahorseBT

Hi Michelle, I add nothing to my tanks to grow the macro. It feeds on naturally occuring nutrients in the water. I like red grape caulerpa, codium, and some caulerpas as long as they are pruned. I would never let the cauplerpa grow too much because it can go sexual. Pretty much any macro is fine for the seahorses. I added the macro immediatley, but my tank had been setup previously as a reef tank for about a year. All I ever fed my tank is mysis shrimp for the seahorses. Hope this helps!

Hi there
Came across your Macro / Seahorse thread- awesome!

I am looking to add some seahorses to a macro tank I just set up - but was wondering if I could pick your brain?

*what can be added / supplemented to the macro tank for the algae growth? As far as feeding the macro?
*what are some types of macro to add for the seahorses? Do they prefer anything in particular? Turtle grass? Grape Caulerpa?
*how long is good to wait for macro tank to be set up before adding the seahorses?
What did you feed your tank? It is amazing!

Thank you
michelle
