I have a 36x30x31 fuge that I am thinking of making into a seahorse tank with macros and some softies. Tank has a 4-5" deep sandbed, lots of macros and cyano at present. I am contemplating adding some more liverock and a little bit of branch rock for a cool looking display. I still want the tank to be a good source of biodiversity to feed the 1200g system.
I keep my system between 75-77 degrees and house all types of corals in the display tank. I was thinking of adding several captive bred H. erectus and was looking for some ideas. The current fuge has a 400w Iwasaki over it, but I am debating changing to a 250w at some point in the near future.
Flow is an issue right now as the tank is fed with an Oceanrunner 3500 which is about 900gph before head pressure, so maybe getting 700gph or 5x/hr circulation. I might need to add some powerheads? Here are a few pics of what I have and I would need to trim back the caulerpa that is trying to take over at present:
Any thoughts or advice on making this a seahorse tank?
