    HELP my seahorses have browm things on them!!!

    probably a Mite, it like a saltwater tick. you have to pull them off, as they could suck out the life of the horse, I had them once and was able to use a tweezers to pull them off. RESEARCH it first. as they may be something else.

    can you use another tank or refugium, and move one tank at a time, Saving the water, Then when setup, move the creatures over and then move the rest of the tanks. Need lots of buckets this way.

    (2) 175watt lights vs (2) 250 watt lights

    I agree with Q, I built a dual 250 and run 10k lights on it, it's in a fully enclosed acrylic canopy, with 2-4" fans, I did get some heat on the hood, untill I put reflective material on all sides with a slight bow in it, Sits right on top of the Glass Top about 1 inch up, no problems so far.
