LOL, let me master the seahorses first Lynn. I doubt I will be able to raise them but I will give it a shot. I just got them because I enjoy the species. Here are some pics:

Been reading through (part of) your thread, your tank looks sooo neat.

 

[SeahorseBT]

Thanks! I need to get some updated pics.

Ya since i don't have my horse tank anymore , i'm counting on you to show me new pics LOL. I miss my horses hope they are fine. I sold the tank to a couple who has 7 tanks. I can only deal with one at a time. But this one is all automated or will be soon.

SeahorseBT.... Just checking, your 34 is a RSM 130 and your only using 1 of the 2 circulation pumps. Is the tank stock? Have you changed anything? Thanks!

 

[SeahorseBT]

Yes, I use one pump and instead of the stock lights I got a 24" Tek T5 fixture. I use a fan to keep the temp down.

OK great..... thanks!

No problem Tom!

Thanks Jeff! Honestly the adults are not that hard. You just need the right environment and healthy seahorses. I actually love this tank because it is so low maintenance. All the macro keeps my nitrates/nitrites/phosphates at 0.

Well, the babies are doing well at 2 months old. Most of them are on mysis and I have about 7 left. They are all looking very strong.

I also got some new broodstock for this tank. Here are some pics of them in QT:

And, the ponies may be getting an upgrade to a 60 gallon cube! There was one guy in line ahead of me for it but he never called the seller back, so he has until 3:00. If the seller doesn't hear from him, the tank is mine! I should be able to pick it up tomorrow.

Hi Blake, awesome looking tank, I'm in he process of turning my 130D into a sea horse tank.

Was wondering what you use for filtration? Being a reef tank previously, I didn't use the ceramic rings etc, as I had plenty of live rock in there. But now i've taken the majority of it out so I can add lots of macro algae.

I know in the past that adding any media to the rear section caused the pumps to run out of water & blow bubbles.
