I have found that with my seahorses I had to cover the end of the of the filter as they
would get sucked into it and could not get out. That is with a aquaclear hang on. And as far as circulation , I use a pump with airstones only. But mine are small. They sleep on the tubing at night.

Yes, I agree, the end of my filter input is covered and it is my male's favorite place to sleep, sitting on the foam cube.
I have Kuda's right now but am looking to get a couple more in the next few weeks.

How often are you two doing water changes, and what kind of skimmer are you using. I was thinking of buying a canister filter and then doing a hang on back refugium. any ideas? thank you

How big is your tank? I use as remora nano skimmer as my tank is smallish.
So many ways to accomplish it is just preference I think. I use the foam from my Remora pro I just ordered extra and cover the end of my filter. I do a small water change once a week maybe 2 gallons. Sorry don't know about a refugium. What is your thinking on that out of curiosity?

I don't have a skimmer yet but have been told that the Deltec hang-on-back skimmers are top of the line... That is what I'll be getting eventually.
I have been doing about a 20% water change once a week.

Hi all,
Ok just got tank, and measurements are 20l x 18d x 28h, roughly a 40 gal. Am wondering on weather to get it drilled or if the canister filters are suffice. Do you two run filter or do you just use the filter as a circulator. All help is aprreciated. Thanks, Angela

I don't run filters on sw tanks (these are fw cannisters that just become nitrate factories on a saltie tank).
My seahorse tank is 2/3s of my 90g wide sump hooked up to a 120g fowlr. It overflows into the 1/3 section that is still a sump with an ASM G4x skimmer & a Sedra 9000 return pump. I plant lots of macroalgae, especially Prolifera so the ponies have places to hang on to. I have no extra current in the tank at this time, other than a percentage from the return pump. The seahorses live with a jawfish, a blenny, a sixline wrasse & a leopard wrasse (the oldest neighbour). Hope that helps. Anthony
