My Seahorse Tank

[Fishfreak2009]

Figured I'd share some pics and a quick video of my seahorse reef since I put usually post them in the build thread. This tank houses 2 pairs of Hippocampus erectus and a lettuce nudibranch (plan on adding a few more lettuce nudibranchs). We also have a few different zoas and palys, gorgonians, leathers, mushrooms, and live macroalgaes (also plan on adding some more macro varieties, and maybe a few more corals).

Since it is doing so well, we may upgrade this to our 65 gallon aquarium when we move those fish into our 180 gallon, but we'll see when the time comes.

Where did you get your ponies from? Absolutely gorgeous!

They came from one of my LFS. The owner goes to Florida once a month and brings back fresh collected stuff from a friend down there who collects fish for the hobby for a living. Got them within 72 hrs of being collected, so didn't starve or get exposed to a lot between the ocean and my tank.

Nice tank! Where did you get your lettuce nudibranch from, and what do you observe it eating?

The lettuce nudibranch only eats hair algae. I got it from one of my LFS.
