[FISHSTICK]

I got this from Dennis(aka dh). Thanks Dennis! This is the stand I'm building, it is 46x27x31. I will finish with molding and stain the wood. The tank is 24x24x16. Plan to make it non-photosynthetic tank and maybe some low light corals.

Seahorses are very easy to care. You need to get a pair that is eating frozen mysis shrimp..T&T has a pair that eat frozen mysis shrimp when i was there 2 months ago..They dont need strong light but temp. has to be around 75-78.. Im new to seahorse too and i have 5 horses for 5months now without any problem. They do eat alot ( 2 frozen cubes in the morning and 2 at night) I do 5g water change every week. I have lps and zoas in my horse tank with a few marco algea too..

Lmk if you need more information on seahorse.

The tank is 24x24x16. 3 sides starfire, I"m going to redo the return inside the overflow. Might add this: http://www.aquacave.com/detail.aspx?ID=255
and change the return pump to this:http://www.aquacave.com/ocean-runner-3500-waterbr-pump-by-aquamedic-32.html
Or if some has better idea LMK.
