24g ap seahorse upgrade 2-1-09

[NYreefNoob]

well as much as i say seahorse's are boring { compared to my reef } i bought another pair, this time a pair of yellow kudos, seems i had more rock but guess a 12g ap is easy to fill up, i know have 5 seahorse's a bi-color blenny and my yellow watchman in this tank with no more to add to it, will be going skimmerless again and running it the same as i did the 12g homeaide reactor to hold chempure elite a mj1200 for return, dont need much flow, there's probably 15 lb's of fully cured and coraline covered rock and a ton of seagrass { ty nanchil } i do believe this was one of the reasons i had such luck with last tank, i dont do water changes on it. the seagrass will keep nutrients and other levels in check as well a place for pods to grow and hide, plus as hitching post for the sh's

[Domboski]

Very Nice Rick. You'll have happy SHs with all of that caulerpa

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Lookin good rick!

 

[tunicata]

sweet looking! I just got some Caulerpa prolifera (That's what you have here right?) from Maloney GB (reefcleaners). I hope it gets as large a batch as yours soon.
I'm going to be turning my 16 AIO into a sea horse tank this summer

oo looks nice, whats the plastic cup thing for?

 

[NYreefNoob]

noodle the cup is a trough for the seahorses to eat out of, not sure of sciense name for it but it's seagrass origanally from bob1000 and then nanchil gave me alot more, ive got about 15 lb's of rock cooking now to ad to the tank, i do plan to upgrade lighting eventually to the nove 20" 6 bulb t5 and i do have a saffire skimmer, just dont think i'll need it, i know the sh's got to poop but havent ever seen them do so , the kudos got to get their color back, they are actually yellow, but with tank switch over they stressed a little. and ty everyone, my daughter is running around ha ha'ing me she got a new tank, and now thinks everything should go in HER tank

 

[Domboski]

My 24g Ap

well went through some stuff with this tank, lost all my seahorse's in a 24 hr period, first animal i lost i was really upset about, so i switched the system around and turned it into a reef, just got the current 20" pro t5 light and loving it, makes tank look almost as bright as my 60g with 250w mh, only thing i need to do is get some moon lights, and hopefully getting the tunze skimmer, using one from a current solana right now, plan to keep fish amount down and still find odd ball stuff to put in there, tank will mainly be all softies might try a few easy sps in it

alright well it has been awhile since i posted on my daughters tank. this tank went from my sh's to a full blown reef { thank goodness after other tank crashed } and now back to sh's, current occupaints are my pair of yellow watchman thats ive had around a year now with their pistol shrimp, a pair of sh's and a few little gobies. and a few algea's, currently looking for other types also.
