Im normally not a huge fan of decorations but the coraline & the fact its a cobra rattler makes it very cool. You should glue a couple zoanthid frags to the wings or but some xenia on the tail. That would make it look even better. All the tanks look really good.

Thanks jrthomas, actually that's how it was manufactured, I guess. I bought it used. It's about 15-20 yrs old. I've never seen another like it.

Since that pic was taken, Ive added like 4 or 5 corals, I put a rock with some large pulsing xenias on the tail ailerons, and a small zooanthid colony on the damaged wing... and a clam on the intact wing!

hey jkcrumb... that looks great! tell us the specs

 

[eyebedam]

JKcrumb. Thats a sweet set up. All the cabinetry looks awesome. Did you build it yourself?

Just rearranged the aquascape the other day and added a few new corals...
Let me know what you think of it

(And I know the water looks dirty at the top; They're bubbles. For some reason, I took this picture just before I did a top-off

)
-And yes, for those of you who are too polite to comment, I agree, my camera (/ picture-taking ability) does indeed suck.

but you seem to have the same problem i have; when posting picture it is kind of small. anyone know how to make the posted pictures bigger?
aquascaping looks great by the way.
is that a sun coral?
do you have to feed that by hand?

I'd love to surprise my wife with one, but I thought I couldn't have them with my current setup. Thanks!

Wow, I guess I haven't been on this thread in a while, so I would like to answer questions posted to me.
rldavisou,
If you should decide on getting seahorses...first and foremost, do your reading and learning...please, please, please. Horses are very social creatures and are best kept with other seahorses in a species only tank.
The pictures I posted are 2 different tanks, the first one is my 46 gallon bowfront reef, and the second is my 37 gallon species only seahorse tank. When those pictures were taken, I had just my first pair of horses, but I've since added a second pair...pics to follow. It is my opinion with regards to seahorses that they definitely be kept in a species only tank...I have only my horses and snails, emeralds, and I'm going to be putting in a couple of cleaner shrimp in...that's it. I'm seriously tossing about whether or not to get a mandarin in that tank, since the pod population is outrageous and my horses eat frozen mysis...I just don't know.
I put the gorgonian in the sh tank because it was not doing well in my reef...it's not faring much better in my sh tank, but it's hanging in there and actually seems to be growing out in other parts of the rock that it's attached to...I'll leave it and see what happens since the polyps are still emerging constantly. Always a waiting game.
Well, anyway, here are the pics of my horses eating at their dish, and one of Captain Apache at his helm...hope this is okay to post in this thread...

Thank you very much. I'm not a great fan of "props" in a saltwater tank, but if they're tasteful and add to the functionality of the tank, I'm all for it.

here is my old 55g zanoshano did the rock work for me i loved it

Man I love that foot fish but i hear they are hard to take care of and can cause high nitrates. I also hear their claws have to be trimmed often and they don't smell good if not cleaned.

updated tank pics

I have since added,
xenia, and zoos - fire/ice, watermelon, green w/orange center

It is a sun coral. I spot-feed it 2-3 times a week with mysis and so far it loves it
