Looks like my fiance talked me into getting some Kellogis next week as soon as I can get the lights set up on one of my tanks and the anemone moved out of the tank they will go in.

Your tank's too small and your seahorses will never make it.
Oh wait a minute... you never mentioned tank size.
My bad.

They are going in a 12 gallon I have at my shop. Or I may put them in the 55 I have at home, but most likely the bio-cube 12 gallon.

I have never been able to keep small tanks, but I would sure like to, especially with the ponies~ a little 2 gallon bio-cube. How do you keep the water and other levels from going into the red zone?
What kind of substrate would you use? Cause even though LS helps with the clean up crew, it still traps waste.
I've been think of adding more sandtiger stars to my 90. I have one in there currently. How many more could I add without jeopardizing the food available for them?

I have sand and about 10 lbs live rock roughly. Water changes weekly to twice a week. I wouldn't recommend more than one star. Those guess can deplete a sand bed quickly when in groups. I also keep a cleaner shrimp, some crabs (hermit), snails, one mexican turbo, and bristleworms for clean up.

Awsome Darth! I can't wait to see pics of your tank. I think it will be a real eye pleaser concidering the pics we saw of your previous horse tanks!!

I had always fed my tigers krill and shrimp pellets at least once a week. Have you ever had baby Stars?

Not just the tiny ones? But actual new stars born in your tank?
