Long island mikes Sea horse tank

Hi Guys, thank you very much for the kind words. The seahorses are doing great! I have lost some along the way but still have about 45 or so. They are now hitching and growing like weeds.
Thanks again

You should put some yellow sticks in the so they will change color.

Hay Sal, Thank you so much bud.

Hi Bulldog, Yes seahorses are awesome!! But they do take up a lot of time. There is a lot of husbandry that go along with them. The tank has to be syphoned and basted every other day do to low flow. The seahorses have to be fed three times a day and water change every week. I do 100% water changes in the fry tanks every day now and feed the fry 3 times a day also. There food (rotifers and baby brine have to be gut loaded with dans feed or aglamac 3050. Culturing the rotifers and hatching the Baby brine are a job in them selfs LOL. Now I am trying to also raise the Baby brine to adulthood for the baby seahorses in the future. This is my first rodeo so I hope all keeps going well. Wish me Luck

Wow do you think a nuvo 16 is good for sea horses with a mj1200 and a nano korilia 240 is good flow or is that to much ?
