Hiya!!! That sounds awesome!!! I have a star polyp mat that is not a happy camper. I believe the problem is not enough light, however, I thought they were more feeders that photosynthetic. What's filling you tank right now?? ~Rykna

Hi, Glad to meet you! I have several projects to finish before I'll post some pictures, I'm hoping that I can post some on Monday! I do have one major snag right now, my star polyps are not happy. There is a beautiful mat of them, but with out leaving my metal halide lights on they close down...

Hi All, I'm Rykna, I haven't been on line for over a year, but I have a new tank brewing for ponies!!! I bought a 24"h x 13"x13", about 20 gallons. Two inch sand bed, and about 20lbs of live rock. Equipment: 5-stage Canister Filter with UV 9W- 525 gph Small Power Filter for extra cleaning media...

They're so adorable! I sure miss my ponies!

Hmmm.....1.009 constantly, 4-6 weeks. I don't know......I'm always happy to help, but I am not sure she has the patience or time...... I wish I would have gotten a picture of her watchman before we put him into the QT. After looking at all the pics online here of fish with ich, I'm not so sure...

Awesome! Thank you both! I finally got Beth to set up the QT. She using a 15g I lent her. Before we transfered the fish, the watchman had dark colored areas around his mouth, kinda of made him look like he hadn't shaved for awhile. After Beth filled 15g half way with some tank water and new...

I need the seahorse forums' input. My friend has a 29g with a watchman, 2 clowns, and a clown goby. Many types of coral, hermits, and some snails. Beth's watchman just came down with ick, the cyst has definitely popped. She is terrified on what to do and how treatment would effect everything in...

I keep ponies too, still simmering the 90g. ~Rykna

I'm sorry to hear you lost her. You gave your all to help her. ~Rykna

Originally Posted by HollywoodDiver yeah that is the one i was looking at getting. the 48 is 696 watts and looks like it will get a lot of coverage, but i just thought i would ask the people who have successful corals. Do you have pics of your tank just so i can see what they looks like...

I asked the same question you did 7 years ago. People told me if you want to make sure you're covering all bases, especially for reef tanks, buy the best. So I looked for the unit with the most lighting options. I purchased the Outer Orbit: Wonderful light fixture! The only hard part is hanging...

I am so sorry to hear about Bigun. You did all you could. Here's a cyber hug for you {meowzer}. ~Rykna

I am so sorry for your loss Teresa. The tank waters have be extremely stormy lately. I'll be praying for calm waters and happy seahorses. ~Rykna
