That is funny you should ask that... I am thinking of adding a couple to my reef tank... I have gone the separate tank thing... but now think it is time to take the plunge and try them in my reef.....Oh, I am living on the edge here... If Sphelps can do it....then so can I........maybe

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 ...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]

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.

Ken;
I am looking at the same order sheet and will be ordering some myself but don't see any customer guarantees.
None the less How would you handle this ?.
Since the order form shows a limited quantity and most resellers have been looking for these (like you said 6+ months) you would replace one if it dies with your stock? or.
Having a replacement seahorse sent to you would cost a fair bit , would you cover that cost or the customer?
After 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year are these sea horses going to be readily available so you can replace with your guarantee. At that point would you be refunding the customers $.
Would each replacement seahorse start again the 1 year guarantee? If so you could keep a "poor hobbiest" in seahorses for the rest of BWA's lifespan.
Would you control who you sell to (ie people with seahorse setups) there is potentially a limited supply and with a guarantee everyone could give them a shot.
These are the first questions that come to mind.

Was that a guarantee through the manufacturer or the wholesaler.?
