Didn't they say Friday just a few days ago? Sounds like a bit of the run-around to me... Make sure you keep track of all your conversations and you may want to go ahead and send them written correspondence of your complaint about the tank.

I have sent them an email, but they have not responded.
Yeah, I will be ordering jose a GF as soon as my tank is ready.

I have been looking at the PM reactors.
Me and Megan were looking at my tank last nightand had a great idea. On the left side of my stand there is a 18X25 door. I think this is where I will build my viewable refugium. I can put trim around the door and put my refugium there. I can make the fuge 19x26 and have it 6 inches wide. This wil be the most space conservative refugium possible. Jeff @ lifereef said that he could build it for me. Then I could have a very nice viewable fuge that is built in. Megan said that then she could have a pair of seahorses. I told her we would have to think about that. The sides and the back of the fuge will be black so not to let any light into the cabinet. I think that this will be a very nice way to have a viewable fuge. Let me know what you think.

What all do you need to get a kalk reactor up and running?

Craig Manoukian · 11-16-2007, 08:41 AM

Sea Horses are fabulous refugium tennants!

The only thing I worry about with the Ponies is that most of them need cooler waters. I wont have MH on this tank, and it will be very ventilated. I want to keep my temps in the upper 70s. Would a pony do ok with the water temp around 78?

Craig Manoukian · 11-16-2007, 08:45 AM

I haven't kept them, but Lynn has extensive experience, so a PM to her might be a good thing.

kathywithbirds · 11-16-2007, 09:53 AM

Panmanmatt too. His explanations are really clear.

michael_cb_125 · 11-16-2007, 09:57 AM

I think that It would be really cool to have a few dwarf seahorses in my fuge. If you have enough pods, and live stuff, for the to eat, souldnt they do just fine?

forestal · 11-16-2007, 09:58 AM

depends on what type of pony you get...
the kuda and erectus i used to keep did well in mid 70;s, some of the other species are temperate...

good link other than seahorse.org is
Seahorse Source, the ultimate place for captive bred seahorses. for captive bred horses/food/etc

michael_cb_125 · 11-16-2007, 10:06 AM

I have done some research and most seahorses like lower temps. Upper 80s are pushing the limits.

ecotech has an Kalk reactor out also.
I like the idea of using magnetic stirrers for kalk reactors.

I am not going to have enought room under my cabinet for a resevoir. Do you have to have one to run a kalk reactor?

michael_cb_125 · 11-16-2007, 01:23 PM
