    my favorite LFS

    also the tank is ~550g DT but there is a nice sized sump and frag tank connected so its around 700g maybe of total gallonage. 14feet long seems right tho.

    simplest setup?

    ok thanks, so then a seahorse tank would be fine with a HOB filter, LS and LR? dont really have money to invest in better equipment right now.

    simplest setup?

    starting to get a seahorse bug so i thought i would ask. what is the simplest setup for a seahorse tank? could i plumb it into my 55 for better stability? i have currently 2 10gs and a 29g setting around. a 10g would be the easiest to use but all i know about seahorses is they are pretty! lol i...

    stumped and confused

    do the yellow wrasses prefer sleeping in open sand or in sand taht is covered in rocks for protection? i can always scoop out a cup or two of sand from the 75 and build a lil deep sand spot. would be easiest in the open but i can do it around the rocks.

    no one sees a problem if a toby puffer went in the 55 with the 2" niger? thought one would be cool to add.

    stumped and confused

    hmm ok that limits my options, i was thinking of a yellow wrasse cause they are simple and cheap but ill rethink. i have a SWC 120 on my 55, clean it weekly (lot of skimate) but i only had 8 small fish in the tank. the SFE is a maybe but when the niger gets bigger ill be cleaning it bi/triweekly.
