Yup they can handle a bit of flow as long as it is a dispersed flow such as spray bars, flare nozzles and other broad patterns. Mike I would keep an eye on the Koralias. Those slots are small enough for a young seahorse to stick a tail into not to mention the open ends. As long as you keep...

What are your Ph, Alk and magnesium levels. All of these things can effect one another.

Now who would be crazy enough to do something like that? ::)

The one in the pics is a female. Try to get me a pic of the other one when you can and I can probably tell you for sure if it's male. Side profile would be best. Here's how to tell the difference: http://www.seahorse.org/library/articles/sex.shtml

Looks great so far, Mike. Did you get a male/female pair or both the same sex?

Just a powerhead and a heater.

Different sponsors offer different discounts. You would probably need to contact the sponsors to see what they offer.

Re: February Meeting I'm gonna make this one, finally. Let me know what i can bring, perhaps some diet Shasta for Pete. ;)

Marco just sells dry rock. Glad to see you coming back into the hobby, Bob. I'm sure there are enough of your corals around we could get you stocked back up in no time at all.

It appears to be a mermaids fan,Udotea sp. It is a calercerous algae similar to halimedia. Here is a little bit of info on it from Etropicals. http://www.etropicals.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?siteid=46&pCatId=2085

Is it growing from a central stalk? Can you get a little bit brighter pic, possibly with the flash on?

For filtration a canister will work as long as you keep it clean. I would look for something in the 350-400 gph range. As mentioned before a spray bar return is your best bet as it really spreads the flow out across the tank. As for hitches, I use mainly live rock and some macro algaes. I have...

Yes it will and it will allow you to add more horses if you'd like. You could easily do 6 horses in a 55.

Check with your local Agway or Tractor Supply store. They both carry them.

Be careful raising your temperature too fast. Sudden changes are more harmful then a steady low temperature. I would keep a close eye on things for the next few days. You are already looking at least at a 20 degree temp swing in 24 hours, that is a lot.

Manual removal will help a lot with getting rid of them. A secret to removing them is to make the tank totally dark either by covering the glass with dark paper or doing this with the lights out and room totally dark. If covering with paper, cut out a small section, say 4x4 inches from the...

Harry, do you have a heater you can put in the tank to help keep the temperature up? Sorry you are having problems and are missing the meeting.

Ok was just checking on the temp. I hadn't realized it was plumbed into your reef when you fisrt mentioned you had them. I would keep offering the mysis, they will run out of pods in a short while. May take a couple weeks but they will get them. As for arctic pods, I have never seen any...

Looks good Mike. Just out of curiosity, what temp you running the horses at?

Just an FYI, if you pick up the package at FedEx depot, they don't charge a Saturday fee.
