See how the Mag 7 runs. With head loss restrictions you'll probably get less than 500 gph through the return.

what are the basic requirements for a seahorse tank always wanted one but never had the guts or time to do one. maybe now that i am getting into my own house i can actually do one. thanks

I'm still doing some reading. I know temp is something to be mindful of. They like the lower temp somewhere like 73 76. I know there are a couple members that have had great success in keeping these wonderful creatures.If they can chime in and help me out it will really be appreciated. I seen a really nice seahorse thread on here the other day. Also low flow is very important.

My Current USA Cardiff Update

Just wanted to show where i'm at. Was still hoping for members to chime in on what would be the best additions for sea horses. As far as whats best for them to hold on to Temp, flow. Etc.. etc Thanks for looking.

Notice the alarm system to the right of the door
That and the puppy should be some kind of deterrent. lol


Stan, I am really digging that stand. I can't believe you got the Cardiff Stand to actually work with a door. Great job.

Next time you start a tank remind me to give you a tutorial on how to add water, even after you have sand in it, without creating a sandstorm. Really easy and looks crystal clear seconds after you've added the water

Real nice start though. Oh, gorgonians are great hitching posts for ponies.
