Okay so I've decided to put together a seahorse tank.
I refuse to buy them until the water is PERFECT.
I have a 36 gallon tank. Lots of plastic plants for them to hitch on.
Added salt.
Added 10 lbs of live rock. Tested the water and added all treatments and conditioners necessary.
After adding the rock, my ammonia levels have spiked to 2.0ppm.
My pH is now at 8.4.
I have a HOB filter and two 185gph pumps (Do you think this is too much flow?)
I have the light that came with the tank its not too bright.
Will take pictures and video if needed.
I basically need to know what i'm doing wrong/what I'm not doing.
Please help so my seahorses dont die!
