Seahorse & Pipefish Haven

[Domboski]

I am almost done with my seahorse and pipefish haven and wanted to post some pics. All I have left to do is get a female Mandaran, two threadfins, chiller and hook up the hang on fuge.

Enjoy the pics!

I am using a Aquaspacelight 2 * 150W MH and 2 * 54w T5) that has been modified. The original came with two 24w compact fluorescents that were only in the middle of the 48" fixture. I rewired all of the internal ballasts, compacitors and ignitors to make room for the two 54w T5s that I took from a used T5 fixture.

It was a lot of work but well worth it.

So, what other fish do you have in with the seahorses and pipefish? It looks like you've got a couple of percs, a flasher wrasse, and is that purple one some kind of pseudochromis? Or a black cap basselet? And they aren't too aggressive to feed with the seahorse?

The people cry out for answers!

The stock of the tank are the following:

~Unidentified Purple Fairy Wrasse (acftually pink with purple fins)
~Seahorses (Duh)
~5 banded Pipefish
~2 Dragon Face Pipefish
~1 Northern Pipefish
~Mated pair of False Percs
~2 Skunk Clowns
~1 Crocodile fish (Juvenile)
~1 Mandarin
~Mated pair of Yellow Sand sifting Gobies
~1 Left out Male Yellow Sand sifting goby
~3 Cleaner Shrimp
~4 Monkey Shrimp
~4 Peppermint Shrimp
~4 Blood Shrimp
~4 Baby Brittles (not sure what kind. Didn't even know I had them)
~8-10 Blue Legged Hermits

More to come soon!
