    Freckles my Potbelly seahorse died.

    So sorry to hear.

    Pregnant?

    Thank you! He can be quite the show-off. Often different colors, ranging from black, brown, dark green, bright green, yellow. He also occasionally flashes black and white at me when he feels that I should be feeding him instead of just hanging out in the room... The female (not pictured...

    Pregnant?

    This morning he looked good, and came right up to greet me like usual. I'll let you know if anything changes, but he seems healthy now. Thanks again!

    Pregnant?

    Thanks Flower, you were correct. I read a few articles and watched a couple videos, and decided to try using just my finger pressure since I don't have the other recommended "tools" for the job. Lots of bubbles came out, much more than I expected based on the size of his pouch! Afterwards, he...

    Pregnant?

    Yesterday I noticed that my male seahorse had a slightly large abdomen, and it's slightly larger again today. He is acting a little more shy than usual, but ate the normal amount both nights. What seems odd is that he is hanging out higher in the tank than normal, and it looks to me like he's...

    New SW Aquarium 1st timer....troubles!!

    Sounds like your fish store is like many others... they care more about getting your money than they do about the fish they sold you. As you said, they knew this would happen, but wanted your money anyways. Let this be a lesson that if you intend to buy more stuff at this store (sometimes we...

    Sick seahorse!!!

    That looks like a female to me, so not a pregnancy issue! If your plan is to release into a bay, I guess that would depend on the bay and what other kind of sea life you find there.

    Snail eggs?

    Sorry that I'm late to the party, but within days of adding 6 nerite snails (ordered from this site), I had over 100 of those exact dots all over several of my rocks. None on the glass. Over the past few months, all but a few have completely disappeared. I never noticed any baby snails, but...

    Light Question

    Light is up and running! I did the acclimation mode Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and then changed it this morning. While I am really impressed with the slim profile, I find that it sits so close to the water that I get a lot of salt splash on it. I'm wiping it off daily. With my old setup, I...

    Light Question

    The Current USA Marine looks great, has comparable pricing, and I was able to get next day shipping. I'll try that one out, thanks again! Sorry if I seem hasty, but I don't want the corals I have to go without light for long, and need to pull the trigger now!

    Light Question

    Thank you for the response! Can you let me know which of the numbers I should be looking at, so I can understand why you're suggesting the second is better than the first? I'll check out the Current USA Marine as well.

    Light Question

    My T5 HO light fixture decided to die last night. I'd like to take the opportunity to upgrade, at least slightly, into the low/mid LED range. There are two options that seem decent based on my very limited knowledge that are available to me locally. My tank is just 36 gallons, and contains...

    Avoiding Snail Eggs

    That is what I have now! Since March, I've had two Erectus. I also have two benggai cardinals, two peppermint shrimp, and the snails mentioned above.

    Thank you both again, that's reassuring.

    Avoiding Snail Eggs

    Thank you for your advice! I researched this hobby off and on for a couple years before starting, but am constantly learning now things. I wasn't able to take a good picture, but grabbed this one from a Google search, which looks exactly the way my rock is looking. In the 3+ weeks I've had...

    Avoiding Snail Eggs

    Good to know that they probably won't survive and overpopulate the tank like freshwater snails do! I'm still concerned about the eggs they are leaving everywhere. From what I've read, the eggs will crack open when they hatch, and then stay on the rocks for a long time... some posts said...

    Avoiding Snail Eggs

    My 36 gallon tank has been up and running for about 6 months now. I started with a few Trochus snails, in addition to some Nassarius snails. About a month ago I ordered some Nerite snails from this site, as algae had started to spread to the point where I felt I could use some more snails...

    Macro Algae

    Thanks for the detailed reply! I would plan on buying test kits for anything I dose, if for no other reason than to give me peace of mind that I'm not under or over dosing. I really like your idea for the egg crate, though left myself little room for that when landscaping my 36 gallon. I'll...

    Macro Algae

    I see a lot of posts recommending the use of macro algae to help keep parameters stable, but for some reason (maybe it's just me) am having some trouble finding easy to understand information on them for people new to macro algae, like myself! My tank has been running for almost 6 months now...
