    who makes the tank.. to me it looks like your typical aquaeon, which can be drilled, just slowly of course..

    jelly and sea horse together...well the upside down jellies don't sting...really hard to keep though, i wish you the best of luck. try to get a round tank though, jellies like to get stuck in corners...I see the upside down jellies almost every dive I go on when the weather is warm near the mangrove flats...the horses live there too...sounds like a cool tank, it will be difficult though, best of luck to you!

    (Personally I would go with seahorses and skip the jellies. I never heard of anyone keeping for any length of time. If you want something that will pose great difficulty, consider pipefish and seahorses...sometimes they are very hard to keep, since they are hard to feed. The challenge can be fun, and the reward sweet...)
