I mounted a mussel shell to a mag float, then hang it on the back wall. Keeps the bristle worms out. I thaw the mysis in a cup of tank water and squirt the mysis into the shell. When I go to bed I take the mysis out of the shell and feed the corals I grow in the sump. JME

the hermits grow up, then become a problem IME. HTH

rics and seahorses are fine. Rics are one of the safest corals to mix with seahorses.

Goldenmanx, I would love to hear more about your system and how long it's been running. Your tank is quite beautiful. I would be open to all the information you care to share. Mixing species has been controversial, I'm not here to udge, just to learn.

Glad to see so many people found it helpful. It was written for medium and large seahorses and not intended to be a guide for dwarf seahorses. The list is also not meant to say how the different seahorse compatible fish will do when interacting with each other or corals. IME Paly's are not a...

Care to define "good parameters"? I might have a different idea then you.

yes. The wider the overflow the better IME so they don't go over, extending the teeth in the overflow above the waer line is a good idea with seahorses too, but especially with pipefish.

Suzy, can you PM me the link on the utah reefs site? I found one article by Todd on the topic but it was 6 years old and much of the info is out of date. Would love to read the new stuff. Todd's a really nice guy, I have always like him. If you don't ahve the article I can always email him, I...

he could pull of dwarf seahorses He could pull off dwarfs. There would be some obstacles to get the feeding density up to par. Some mods to the return pump would need to be made. You could go easy and just trim the impeller with scissors but it will cut the life span of the pump. I ran a MJ1200...

Not will grow as in will definetly be larger then any WC you have ever seen, but have the ability to grow to the same size and yes larger then WC's with proper care. I'll elaborate further just for the sake of discussion. When you go into your LFS or order an aquacultured seahorse online from...

Thanks and no worries.

For more info on modding a nano tank for seahorses this is a good thread IMO. http://forum.seahorse.org/index.php?showtopic=34647

Least I could do. I just hope it helps someone. When I got into this hobby there was no such list. I made many mistakes. hopefully people can learn from my success and failures.

Thanks for the feed back. This is just the QT tank, not there final home. It's just to hold them after shipping and make sure they are healthy and eating before introducing them into the display. Normally I would not keep seahorses in a 20g long, however these are only a few inches tall as it...

SO I've been out of seahorses for a bit over a year now, had a few deals go bad, never received horses. I'm getting two female barbs in the morning. I have my QT setup. It's a 20g long, 10g sump, 24w UV, Remora Protein Skimmer, plastic chain hitches, taxifloria, all bare bottom. Heater set to...
