^Well I have had bulbs go out for a week in my reef and never lost anything. It not always sunny on the reef with storms and such. Corals can go days without light. More delicate corals may not fare as well though. I think freshwater and saltwater are both beautiful. Saltwater IMO is more...

I was reading on another nano tank board and saw a post about dwarf seahorses. This line cracked me up...ready for it "One of my dwarf seahorses got stuck on some live rock and drowned...it happens I guess :( " And they were serious. I started laughing at that post. I can't wait to get my...

Thanks for this post. I have been in the hobby 2 years but never really looked into getting a Refractometer. I just bought one online tonight!

Bought some plastic hitches tonight for the future dwarf seahorses Still researching an auto top off system...

That's so cool! I grew up in Florida. That must have been amazing going out to collect dwarf seahorses! Moved away a few years ago. Got into saltwater after I moved away(probably cause I was so homesick..lol) Do you still have your dwarfs? Any pictures of your tank? Would love to see it

I would say be very grateful you have had the funds for the tank. Look at what is going on around the world. We are very blessed to have what we have. If you have a passion and the want then you are not ready to leave the hobby. You can do this yourself. I think we have all had that feeling of...

Thanks for the reply. I just use the simple 2 upside down soda bottles and air pump for hatching. Found a "source" of decapulated eggs that have a 99% hatch rate from a CB seahorse breeder in FL.Haven't started yet but will make sure my hatching is down and on schedule before I get the dwarfs...

^hehe I already have a 55 gallon reef, 25 puffer tank and a 10 gallon goby tank. I think this is the last tank..lol That what they all say right..lol I may be able to sell them to my LFS which sells dwarfs once in awile. It's an aquaculter facility also. She has 2 Seahorse display tanks. I'm...

Thanks :-D I got into saltwater aquariums because of dwarf seahorses. Been researching and reading about them for 2 years..haha I can't wait to actually have real ones. Will it cycle with nothing live in the tank at all though? I always cycle with shrimp but haven't with a completly sterile...

Hello Everyone! Haven't been on the board in awile.Wow it looks different..lol After 2 years of saltwater experience, I am FINALLY commiting to getting dwarf seahorses. I have talked myself out of getting them for years..lol It's funny after you get some experience hatching live BBS and...

AMAZING TANK!

^Well 1.026 is the SG of natural seawater, not 1.022. I personally have never had a problem using IO. I only have some LSP and softies though. I find it mixes quite well(I mix for 24 hours) and my calcium is at about 350-370ppm with no extra additives. My corraline algae grows like crazy. Maybe...

I just got a 4" frag yesterday at the LFS for $19.99. So $8.00 is an awesome deal!

Got some new corals today I also had a question. What can get get to help clean my sand in my 55 gallon? I have about 25 Nassarius snails. The sand still looks kinda dirty. I siphon but debris still build up. Would a cumcumber help? Maybe more flow? Thanks and heres the pics: 4" short ten...

Great looking aquascape! Is it sturdy?

I agree a blue or other solid color would really make the tank pop. Great looking tank! I love the urchin. They are so cool.
