    FOM: Syngnathids

    Hi Darth! I have had the scallop and horseshoe crab for about 6 months. I throw shrimp pellets and extra mysis shrimp in the tank at feeding time for the horses. I also put in a few drops of the Kent product for filter feeders. So far all's well, but I've learned with this saltwater...

    Darth, it sounds like you have a cool seahorse tank! Mine is a 42 gallon hex. I have 2 peppermint shrimp, a horseshoe crab (until he gets too big), 3 hermit crabs, 8 various snails, a flamed scallop, 2 feather dusters, 1 yellow sea cucumber, and 2 fabulous pairs of h. erectus. :jumping...

    UV Sterilizer

    Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm not familiar with a refugium, but I will check it out. This wonderful hobby is a neverending learning streak. Difficult at times, but IMO, very worth it! :joy:

    UV Sterilizer

    Hi! I have about 25 lbs of live rock in the tank and a fine "sugar-type" sand on the bottom. It's not very deep. Maybe 1 1/2". I have a Penguin 200 filter that hangs off the back of the tank. We have been doing water changes 3-4X/week. Sometimes more. We change about 10-20% at each WC. We...

    UV Sterilizer

    Can someone fill me in about a UV Sterilizer? When is it good to have one? If you have filter-feeding inverts in the tank, will it kill all of their food? I have a 42 gallon hex tank with 3 seahorses, 1 flamed scallop, 1 horseshoe crab, several snails and small crabs, & 2 feather dusters. I...

    Sea Horses

    Seahorses take A LOT of work! I absolutely love mine and have the time to devote to them so it's ok for me, but it may be difficult for an office setting. They should be fed atleast twice a day and do need regular weekly water changes to keep their water pristine. If you have the time, they...

    hunger strike seahorse

    I have a new tank bred seahorse who is refusing to eat anything except live ghost shrimp. Everyone else loves the frozen pe mysis, but not her. She's a stubborn little bugger! I would try the ghost shrimp. You've got to get her to start eating soon. Good luck! Smiles, Pam
