Incredible pictures! Way to go! :jumping: :cheer:

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...

How about frozen mysis shrimp?

Very cool! Way to go! :cheer: Smiles, Pam :joy:

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...

I agree with you all the way! :joy: Being new to this saltwater thing, this site is priceless! I would've made loads of mistakes if I hadn't had the sense to ask everyone here. Smiles, Pam

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:

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...

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...

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...

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

Oh...and last night was the first night she didn't eat. She seemed interested, though, and swimming around.

Hi! Thanks for the quick replies! I have triple sulpha but am unable to get my hands on neomycin. Can I start with the triple sulpha and order the neomycin from somewhere? I will work on lowering the temp, too, today. No more than 4 degrees per day, right? Oh...think happy thoughts for my...

I forgot to tell you about my tank. 42 Gallon Hex with 3 h. erectus seahorses, 2 peppermint shrim, 1 horseshoe crab, 3 snails, 25 lbs live rock, sugar-like sand substrate: Temperature 78 degrees, salinity 1.0235, pH 8.0, alkalinity 300 ppm, Nitrite 0, and nitrate is high at 40 ppm. This is...

Anyone have any experience with snout rot on seahorses? :help: My little girl is in need of help! What would be the best medications to help treat her in a QT? ANY advice would be so appreciated! Thanks, Pam

Not to mention the poor seahorses!
