Here is what I see in that tank

Find a large piece of LR with a great shape!!! Create this zen like tank with pipes and seahorses. This pic is the beginning of a great seahorse tank from Reef Central:

Thanks everyone. I know, I like collecting empty tanks. lol i like the idea of rbt anemone with a pair of clowns. seahorses are hard to take care of. so now, what kind of equipment do i need with it? should i drill the tank? skimmer? powerhead? lighting? thanks guys, great suggestions and comments!:biggrin:

jung where can i get those clown?

 

[coralcrazy]

seahorses are not hard..neither are pipefish...you can put them on brine...and try to start feeding mysis or cyclopeze....i had a pair for over 1/1/2...then i traded them to a friend...still doing well..the aren't as hard..your cube is perfect because of the fact it is high...low current..and a nice skimmer on it.just keep the water quality good..that..should do the trick...you can also throw in pipe fish..they are similar to the seahorses...any more question feel free to ask. good score btw..

 

[Nsr250NYC]

Thanks CC, for clearing that up. i think the tank will be too small for RBT with a pair of clowns. i guess seahorses are the way to go.

so anyone got a suggestion for skimmers and other equipments? btw its 13"x13"x14"H

similar to my 15 desiger, hard to find the right rocks, but it can be done. i have 2 viewing sides, and got that tape on back background for it. the rocks are like a slope from the top corner and fan out towards the bottom.

then i like the idea of seahorses or pipefish. i have been thinking about doing the same, just afraid that i can't care for them correctly

hm..get a remora..i am sure they are floating around this site...also get branches of live rock if you can..they like to wrap around stuff...put a power head with a sponge..would hate to see one of the guys getting killed by one...try to make it look natural..and make sure it is low current...the cute thing is they are very curious..when i went to clean my tank..they were attracted by my aqua gloves..i would stick my finger out and they would wrap around them...they are very cute..and you will be glad you chose them...
i am had them but far from an expert...
try reefcentral..they have more info...i used them when i had seahorses.

A cubed seahorse tank would look awesome. I'd have to check that one out.

 

[griMReefer]

what kind of seahorse might he best off with?

dwarf? giant? brazil sps? other?

 

[Nsr250NYC]

I think with my tank size, it can only fit dwarfs. but dwarfs will require constant live food. seems complicated already

 

[griMReefer]

yeah, but pipefish are so cool - i am setting up a special tank just for a mimic pipefish that look like puffer

 

[coralcrazy]

you can have a pair of redi i think...carefull with dwarf/ their is a problem with them and live rock...like i said check reef central..
