Re: Seahorse Tank???

Hi Phil,

We have a 46 gallon Bowfront SeaHorse tank housing a pair of reidis. They are captive bred and are eating PE Mysis eagerly.

Our tank set-up is simple. We have fine coral sand with a few medium size pieces of liverock, a few sea fans for the ponies to latch onto and various types of macroalgae. For filtration, we run an Eheim canister with mostly mech media. The filter is running at lower flow rate as to provide a gentle current for the ponies.

For feeding, the ponies have an empty clam shell from which they eat their mysis. This feeding station serves a dual purpose, firstly, it keep the mysis in place so it does not pollute the tank and secondly, it prevents the ponies from accidentaly snicking sand while trying to eat.

If you are interested, I can take some pics of it to give you a better idea of the layout.

Cheers

Raf and Diana
