Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

I'll make the whole damn world jealous if given the money to do so.


Don't make mistakes and learn from them, read and learn how to avoid mistakes.

a)Fix the damn problem
b)live with it

Re: seahorse tank?

Matt should answer this, but i think the tank should cycle at least 8 weeks . Read up on the nitrogen cycle,you have to establish your biofilter first. get an ammonia test kit and nitrate, ph and so on .and do a lot of reading. Seahorse are not easy to keep they are a lot of fun, but learn how to care for them first before you get them. if you already have them and need help Matt can help you he's are seahorse whisper...

Re: seahorse tank?

Tell me about your set up and I will tell you if it is seahorse compatible. They have specialized needs that are different than that of a reef tank. Also seahorse can not be kept with most other fish and corals.
