I'm glad I'm back, too! Been having to spend my time on the local reef club boards and it's just not the same!
Yes, I definitely plan on breeding! The new ones I got are only 3 months old. Hopefully, they will give me a little time to get ready again.
Working on a new tank/system for horses. Right now they are in the "display" portion of my refugium for my 220g.
They need something better. (and are going to get it)
Anyway, I will get some pics and start a thread this weekend. Lights out now!

Im wondering is this ur specialty, or do u also have FISH tanks lol just curious george in me! good idea with the hitching chain too!

The horse is there. looks sraight down and over into the macro algea - he is looking straight at you

Hmm you know he's right -- I don't think I've ever heard you mention this so-called "150" of yours.
I question its authenticity.
I think we're going to need some pictorial proof.
(You know me -- anything to see pics of somebody's tank!! I'm like the voyeur of the aquarium world...)

oh my, you dont want to see it, the front is covered in algea, Since my mom passed, its been very hard for me to get motivated. I'm getting better. Once the horses are all cleaned, I will get to the 150.
Right now, I have a scopus, a pj cardinal, a mated pair of clowns, two eng gobies. There are a couple brittle stars and a huge thin stripped hermit. I have a nice leather, a few shrooms, and a lot of anthinia. (spelling).
I will replace some lost stock, once I get it in shape.
I would like to add tail spot blenny, another yellow wrasse. Not sure what else at the moment.

Wow, I'm sorry...... I can totally empathize. When my father in law passed, the whole family pretty much shut down for a while.....it took us a long time to get motivated to do ANYTHING after that. To this day I get a little tight-chested when I'm out in the garage over by what I still consider to be HIS side of the garage....which is a b***ch because I'm packing his stuff to move right now.
I guess I like hearing about other peoples' large tanks because I MISS my 110g tank!
I really hope the place we find will be safe to re-start that aquarium. As much joy as I get out of the seahorse tank (and yes, I love it....), I have to admit I liked having the big tank up just a little bit more.
Sounds like your fish have a lot of room to swim...that's a pretty light bioload for such a big tank! I vote you get something like a scribbled rabbitfish as well, and a mated pair of Mandarins.

I added the two biggest. I will see how they do and add a couple more next week. They are getting so big and crowed in the 20 gal. The little ones don't seem to be getting enough to eat. I have been feeding three to four cubes of mysis a day, just to the babies.
They are so funny to watch, so curious.

Thanks, just did a little water change, and sucked out more flat worms, I dont know where they all come from, one time you look, and thier all gone, and the next time, the rocks are covered.
The babies are doing good, they seem to have adjusted well. I will prob add a couple more tonight or tomorrow. I need to thin out the 20 gal fry tank before I go on vacation.
They poop to much. I need to add another temp filter to suck it out.

added two more to the big tank. They all seem to be doing really good. I may add a couple more before vacation just to lighten the load on the baby tank. I wish my white one would grow another inch. lol Its just too small yet.

well, only 5, but may end up with 6, lol or I will have to take out one of the big ones thats in there now to add one of the smaller ones once they grow a little. we will see.
Some of the bigger ones will be ready to go in about a month. I just took a head count, and there are 25.
