Default Kayla's 50 Gallon Seahorse Cube New Pics

So we had some equipment sitting around and decided we are try our seahorses. We found some branching rock and put it in a tank and let it seed for around 3 months or so and started adding macro algae. We stopped in to see Ken at Blueworld and he hooked us up with some soon to be bright orange Redi seahorses.

We stopped over at Tias in Calgary yesterday and picked up some mangroves as hitching stations just need to build proper hanger for the mangroves.
As for the tank its our 24x24x20 Cube with tile stand
Lighting Vertex Illumina 200
Skimmer Deltec mce 600
Flow is a aqua-clear 50

Tank is being kept at 72 deg to try and keep bacteria from harming our seahorses. They are currently black from being stressed out and not settled fully from shipping. Talking to the same supplier on ordering some bright reds in a few months

Sweet little tank! I really miss my seahorses . Watching them mate and the male giving birth has to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

Good job guys!

Sorry for the late reply the feedings are done daily with a eyedropper and brine shrimp. I choose the macro direction so there would be lots of live food, most time you cant see through the glass pods are just thick.

How is this tank doing?


Any macros to spare? I would love to add some to my Mandarin tank.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
