new year, new seahorse build!!!!!!(many pictuers)

ok well about 7 or 8 years ago i saw a T.V. show about seahorse. i am only 14 now so i was only 7 or 8 at the time so i though anything was possibal and made my parents go to all the LFS around here. the cost was crazy back then, they said no after the first store. well after a year of my 26 mixxed reef, i asked again, and i got a green light. i have been reading up the past few months about the basics.

im thinking about a 10 or 20 gallon with a pair of Hippocampus erectus. im am think about a black pair on seahorsecorral. heres a link,

i get around 200 dollers in christmas money a year i already most things left around from my 26 reef. i have a HOB filer, RODI, PW if i need it but im thinking about not useing it, lights, and a hood. i also have quite a few LB of rook and sand too.


so im going to be buying the tank after christmas with a little help from you, let it cycal, start raising brine shrimp, and get this going.

 

I don't know much about seahorses so I can't help, but I have read that it's important to buy captive bred. Not sure if that link is or not. If so, yay!

 

yaaaaay they are. hahaha lol. i was talking to the owner they say that the pair are eating frozen mysis, and brine. when i get them i will be feeding live and frozen

 

I heard sea horses aren't the easiest to keep but good luck!!! I'll be keep an eye on this thread to see how everything it going for you.

 

i think the water needs to be cool like 76 degrees or so cause thier immune system is real low so you will pry want a chiller

 

ya right now im little worried about worms. only becuse i was just reading an artical about them. im accualy looking at getting the 12 gallon biocube. or mabey if i have left over money, i could build my own 15 gallon.

 

Seahorse.org (Powered by Invision Power Board) thier u go read away.

 

ya right now they are being keeped at about 71 degrees. we used to have an old freshwater system that was were in going to put the tank, and oneday the heate gaveway. the tank for a week sat at 69 degress. and it was stalbe too, never when above 70
