Not too much going on with the pony tank except for a huge new tank algae bloom....this kinda surprised me as the bulk of the rock had been in 110 gallon's sump for months and I didnt expect it....I guess a new tank is a new tank is a new tank it is...there are still some ponies at the shop but I am resisting taking them home until the skimmer for the system finally arrives by three legged donkey....that and the other reason Im resisting taking them home is the resident seahorse expert believs all of the remaining ponies are female

I did manage to make the door for the stand....now all I have to do is laminate the exposed edge and pick some nifty handles...

added a few few more newbies to the ponyless pony tank and I also added a pair of sexy shrimp (missed them from the pico days)...

Still acclimating.....



And after they are a little happier...I had the red blastos in the Big Tank before, but I let someone talk me out of them....




And a red, and red/white coco worms(pardon the dirty glass)....and another sea fan

Thanks Guys....I really like the purple sea fan too....when its happy that is....doesnt look like much when the polyps are not extended

Well I put a fish in the pony tank.....a blue assessor....beautiful little fish....I was a little worried about him as he didnt eat for a few days, but started eating yesterday....very she little guy...They are supposed to be "low risk" for seahorses (according to my research)....It nice to have something to look at in the tank besides coral and sexies...

Heres a few more pics... I was playing around both tanks yesterday with the cameras, tinkering with settings..

Very nice I have noticed that my blue assessor is way more timid than my yellow. The yellow is one of the first fish out in the morning when lights first go on.

But, where oh where are the seahorses?
