Great - Thanks so much for your advice! Liz

it certinately does! Thank You. I have a canopy that was built for the tank - the "lid" is a good 10" from the top of the tank, then there is another inch or so to the top of the water. - the back of the canopy is open - would I still need the fans? Now I just have to come up with a way to...

I have a 55 gallon reef tank that I am considering upgrading my POS compact flourescet hood to a MH retro in the canopy - would 1 250 watt be good with 2 PC atinics and my moonlights? or should I go with more MH lighting? I would like to make this my last lighting purchase until I get a larger...

I haven't decided yet... I am just starting to purchase things to ease the expense - it will be a few months before I even begin to cycle the tank... Unfortunately my tank isn't drilled so I have to do all HOB equipment...

I am working on getting stuff for my future seahorse tank one by one - can anyone reccomend a protein skimmer ( I think that I am going to need a HOB type) that will work well with seahorses? Also if you could reccomend a HOB filter... It will be a 37 gallon tall tank (20" x 18" x 24" deep) Thanks!

wow! $8.99 - best price here is about $30!

I am looking into starting a seahorse tank when we finally buy a house (in the next year hopefully) and I have a 37 gallon cube tank it is 18" x 20" x 24" deep. I would love to keep a pair of seahorses is there - do you think that this is a good size tank for them - I know that you are supposed...

seahorse.org is by far the best one that I have found - maybe Jen will respond - she seems to know alot about them! Good Luck! Liz

it sure is! The fish that he killed were at least 3 times his size! I think that it must have been the freshwater that killed him - or the heat.... I used hot tap water

FINALLY - I got the dirty little bugger! Unfortunately he was dead (well fortunately at the same time) he is about 1-1/2" long - Here is his mug shot - I tried to get one closer but the camera just got blurry - if you zoom in on him though you can see his "hammers" Thanks to everyone for all of...

ok -- well provided that I get him out alive - I will keep you in mind. I will keep you posted! Liz *just a question - wouldn't he destroy shipping material - ie a bag??*

Thanks I am willing to try anything at this point - I am really only trying to save the coraline - it is my prettiest piece of rock (and the largest) I will try the warmer water. Thanks everyone! I will be sure to post some pics as soon as I get them! Liz
