Seahorse & Pipefish Haven Part II

**Domboski** · 06-28-2008, 10:33 AM

I decided to set up a seperate 36 gallon Bow Front tank for macro algae and local species. I'm in the very beginning stages of pulling this together but here is where I am so far:

great way to save if you can get it out of the ocean, where do you go to get the pipefish. nice start so far, letting my 12g ap cycl and then doing the same with pipefish and probably the darf seahorse's. and since i dont live close to the shore ill probably be ordering from one of the vendors a variety of macro algea

I second the pipefish ouestion. I like the setup you have a variety of specimens in there. I was begining to wonder on the larger tank since I saw no seahorse and potenial preditors lol But Both tanks look great.

What temperature are you going to run it at?

Pipefish can be collected locally around here. I caught a bunch last summer.
