    well, question is self explanatory LOL..

    Since i took my 29G down because i moved everything to my 150G, its just been sitting there 3/4 filled, and getting algea all over because i havent cleaned it...

    so, i kinda want to make it awesome again, but not sure what to do with it. since its at the front door i want something that grabs attention.

    it has to be saltwater though:p any ideas?

    I will be using my 29g as a QT for new fish for the reef tank. Quarantine for 4-6 weeks then it will go into the display. I wouldn't suggest it for larger fish like tangs though unless they are small still.

    that would be ok if my 150 wasnt fully stocked with fish. :p
    i kinda want something that will look good. i have the lights for coral and everything else. so a QT would be a waste for those lights ::)

    I dont know much about seahorses so i would have to do some research.. How expensive compared to a reef tank are they?

    Exactly my thoughts...I've been itching to set up a pony tank lately.

    my LFS doesnt carry captive bred seahorses.. i thought of maybe getting them online.. since they are really delicate how well do they ship?

    That wouldn't turn out so well to have all of that in one tank. ::)
