True, we will keep it going! This is amazing. Next poster has been married for more than 15 years!

I just switched to high-speed and now I have red x's instead of the avatars in here. Same with the site directory to the left. Anybody know what that means?

So much for his lucky fin! Very nice presentation on the meal, though.

Apologies, and I am glad to hear! It's a beautiful tank...it is a square shape? And it looks open on at least 3 sides. That is beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

I just got faster i-net and so am able to see the video. I wonder, does the tank have lower fow areas? I will be the first one to agree that seahorses can handle good water movement, but I will also temper that by saying that they do require rest. I'm afraid it looks a bit frantic?

Originally Posted by BigJohnson Is this lighting to strong for horses? CoraLife 1x65W Actinic 03 + 1x65W 10000K I do think lighting can be an issue for seahorses. Just a personal theory based on the animal's design. Not only for temp. Their natural prey prefer dim or no lighting. The fact that...

Sorry, how old was the hex? You can see where I'm heading..the seahorses were in the hex? I started with a ten gallon tank, one tomato clown. Added one seahorse after about a year. Upgraded to a 20 gal (yeah, we're talking HUGE) for another year. Then purchased the 55 gal. I think it truly...

Originally Posted by Hefner413 Do you have to spot feed to keep the horses eating? I've heard one of the biggest problems is that the fish out-compete the horses for the food. It is advisable not to house seahorses with larger fish. By larger, I mean over 4 inches adult length. All...

Originally Posted by MonaLisa Wow, the cirri on that one horse is so cool!! I would like to know more about that. Is it just one gender that will get cirri? Is it at a certain age...certain environments? Anything you can tell me about cirri...I'm all EARS!! Lisa I think the horse you are...

Originally Posted by TexasMetal As far as "allowed" goes, it just depends on how often you do water changes and if your filtration can keep up. We've found the refugium does wonders. It is packed with macroalgae, and I can see dozens of pods at any given time. We had 4 horses together for about...

I would for sure ask this outside the SH board.

Very nice to see, Lisa! I like the choices you have made in many different arenas! Nice size tank, too. Could you describe the set-up and tell us again how long you had it up before your seahorses got to come home? (sorry, I just love to hear it! )

It's one of the great American traditions, no? True Next poster has thought about going into business for themselves.

I just noticed there is a "Private message" link on the page.... Well, how long has THAT been there? Am I just blind?

I don't know if I would go every six inches..that'd be a pretty tall order. For my tank in the future, I will be keeping the LR to a dull roar (I LOVE the stuff), across the back. The front will be sandbed and a variety of plantlife; shaving brushes and there is a plant I am currently trying to...

I like that idea, I think. The tank size range seems a bit broad, to me..good for a 52 and a tank 6 times that size?? So stormy seas in the 52?
