Seahorse & Pipefish Haven Part II

[Domboski]

LOL. Hang in there. I just agreed to buy a 120 gallon to replace the 72 bowfront. I may end up moving the 36 gallon habitants into the 72 BF. I'll hopefully have updated pics by the first weekend in August.

Everything is doing great though.

Dom, Tank is looking great. Shiinnecok inlet is a decent drive from the city but with those collections and MR companions, must have been well worth it.

Thanks. I play softball out there every sunday so it is no big deal. It's always fun hanging with MR members too

I decided to upgrade my 72 reef to a 120 so I may use the 72 bow for this tank. Not sure yet though. I'll have updated pics mid to late next week.

I went diving off Beach 8th in the Rockaways on Saturday and there was a ton of stuff to see (as long as you were up close "seeing" as how visibility was about 4 feet). Starfish the size of my fist, groupers, butterfly fish, blueclaw crabs, lobster, red and green macros, horned blennies, a fish that looked like some type of wrasse and even a yellow tailed damsel.

A quick teaser. Still haven't moved the tank. Hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday.

Dom, What is that green type of algea called? Saw tons of it this past weekend at fire island inlet. They were everywhere.

Eelgrass

I figured thats what it was called. Wasnt sure. I saw tons of crabs and snails on the eelgrass when i pulled it out of the water.

What have u been feeding the seahorse you collected?
Thats a female correct?

Yes it is a female. She eats mostly pods which I pull out of my filter sock daily and frozen mysis. She still only eats the mysis that settles in the macro algae.
