The eggs will darken as they get closer to hatching. Also just an FYI, the babies will not be much bigger than a human hair when born.

Usually you drill it just below or at the water line when the tank is running. Once the pump is off you will get a little bit of a siphon until the hole is exposed to air.

You're welcome. Not those particular species I mentioned. There are MANY more species that do come from lagoons/grass flats that cannot handle the flow of a reef tank.

All those species live on reefs in the wild so they are accustomed to high flow. That is why they are suited for a reef tank.

Blue striped, dragon faced, banded and multi banded pipefish are all reef compatible. Dragon faced pipefish are a natural predator of Acro eating red bugs, just an FYI.

http://www.seahorse.org/library/articles/tankmates/tankmates.shtml Only if the pipefish are captive bred. Adding wild pipefish to captive bred seahorses is a recipe for disaster. Since they are in the same family, they are capable of transferring bacteria and other pathogens to each other...

Unplug the powerhead, put your hand in the tank and touch the light fixture. If no shock then that's your problem.

You can tell the males from the females by counting the bands on their pectoral fins. Males have 6-10 bands and females have 4-6 bands. It is also possible that you have a sexually mature male and he is just trying to mate with your female who is unreceptive to him.

Those temps are way too high. For seahorses you want 72-74 degrees. At 78-80 temps the seahorses are very susceptible to bacterial infections. They normally don't last more than a few months at reef temps.

Sounds like a bacterial bloom to me. I would continue with the water changes and also change out your carbon. It should clear up in a couple days.

Thanks. I was just wondering if it had an adverse effects since it is an acid. I've used it to lower elevated PH's before but never dosed it long term.

Mark, I am curious as to what the effects have been on your PH. Are you seeing any drop in that?

Here is a little more info on them. http://njscuba.net/sites/site_locomotives.html They have been on the ocean floor since around 1850 or so.

These were not dumped intentionally, they were part of a cargo shipment on a barge that sank.
