the tank is coming along slowly,I went through some nasty diatoms and ups and downs with the skimmer
it seems anything I add causes the skimmer to go crazy then I have to start adusting it again.
I have a few more corals most are just placed in the tank for now I really dread what more epoxy is going
to do to the skimmer. I have the chiller however it still needs to be hooked up and I need to buy a pump for it.
I am going very slow and probably wont order seahorses till July.

Cindy, congrats on the seahorse adventure as well as both new tanks, (RSM 130 and 250).
I was planning on using my fuge as a Seahorse system but just because of the temp issue, that won't be possible.
Keep us updated as I would love seeing the new ponies in their environment

the Seahorse tank is coming along after the Diatoms and a short battle with Cyano, I moved things around a bit. I think the ponies will like the vivid colors since they change colors with their moods and surroundings. I planned to order them in July but I think I will put it off til late Sept because of shipping and the temps outside. also by then the tank will be up 5 months and definatley stable lol I'm taking no chances with the Seahorses.keep in mind it's still a work in progress.. here is some HH macro algae also ponies love yellow but I can't seem to find any brite yellow pony safe corals any ideas?
tank is 2 months and 3 days old.

Nice update Cindy and the tank is looking fantastic! There are some nice yellow Fiji leather corals, but I'm not sure if they're reef safe. Plus leathers can get huge after a while. Yellow Porites (an SPS) might be another one.

feeding went great it took about 5 minutes. I use thawed and rinced mysis then soaked it in vibrance until the heads of the mysis shrimp turned red then offered to them with a turkey baster they gobbled it up and the firefish, goby and blenny,jawfish cleaned up what was left this means I will no longer be feeding the fish... right now they are swimming around having a good time, they love riding the current
Awesome!

Beautiful tank Cindy! And horses look great love your vibrant Sunburts and that one Rust colored Mustang is stunning. I have a RSM130 and also the RSM250 but haven't been able to set up the RSM250 yet space issues! HA! So as soon as I can consolidate my community tanks into one 150g FOWLR than I will be able to set it up. Never thought of it as a pony tank but that really is a good idea. I have 3 pony tanks now and 13 horses 3 H. Erectus, 2 White H. Erectus, 2 H. Redi, 2 H. Barbouri, 3 H. Kuda 1 H. Comes and 11 H. Zostare dwarfs need to take pictues they are beautiful I have such a love for seahorses they are fascinating!!! Your tank looks outstanding!!!!
