Awesome pics! Great specimens! Where did you obtain them?

They are a really nice Reidi x erectus cross being raised by Alyssa from Dr. Mac.

I repurposed a Cubic Jelly tank so it has internal Kreisal circulation and a small chamber for media-- I'm using live rock ruble. I also plumbed in a canister filter for carbon, mechanical and additional bio-filtration. I also added a small powerhead in the tank and an iceprobe chiller. There are also some pieces of live rock with caulerpa on them which you can see in the pic. It is a very simple system. So far, so good.

They need to be fed 2-3 x a day.

I just caught a local seahorse last week, and with the pipe fish and others, all are still swimming, but not eating. Water temp was 46 degrees when caught, now 62. I've been feeding live shrimp, only the pipefish eats. Need some help here!

The sea horse should eat mysis or brine i feed mine mysis but its tanked raised he might eat pods if u got a sump throw hik in there

 

[NYreefNoob]

ive found it is easier to get them to eat brin e then mysis. but they can be finicky once they srart eating 1 type of frozen getting them to eat anything else frozen
