is everyone setting up (or already has set up) a seahorse tank, or are you just putting them into your mixed reef?? Just curious :-)

I have gone the separate tank thing:twised:... but now think it is time to take the plunge and try them in my reef:mrgreen:.....Oh, I am living on the edge here...:lol: If Sphelps can do it....then so can I........maybe:wink:

I would like to put one or two in my shallow lagoon but I feel like there is way too much flow in there. He would get blasted around the tank. Plus I read that they like lower temperatures. I know lots of people put them in normal reef temp tanks like 77-81, but don't they prefer 75 ish ?

When I kept them before I had the temp set at 80 deg same as all my other tanks..my temp does not fluctuate. They did great till one fateful blond moment of stupidity:cry: ...long story!

Your right though depending on how much flow and guessing you may have a lot...they may just fly around rather than swim. I have a MP20 placed up high so don't see it as a issue

Thats correct... Most seahorses do better at a temp of 68-75. When you go over 75 you are more likely to run into bacterial infections.

I have been informed by the supplier.

Here is an unprecedented guarantee; they are offering a “1 year live guarantee”.

Oh come on, that doesn't even make sense... you must of miss typed that.

BlueWorldAquatic 02-26-2010 02:59 AM

Nope,

These are captive bred seahorses and they are proud of them. I have an email to confirm it.

As long as it isn't from neglect, they will replace them. That is good as the orange and red are a bit expensive.

a bit expensive would be approximately how much?
