here are some more pics, i was going to build a 'horse feeding station' but have found the cabbage coral to work very well.

 

[mjstech]

here is another one, my camera is an old 1.1mp so macros don't come out all that well.

looks great! I love your aquascaping! I do have to respectfully disagree with pledosophy on same sex tanks. I think females have fewer problems. IME males, whether kept with females or not, tend to develop pouch problems. at least two females can court and shed eggs into the sand.

seriously, in a well-maintained tank, with CB seahorses, you will probably do fine with the girls.

thanks lisa, i am still working on getting some more macros for the display. i still don't have names for the girls, maybe you guys can help me pick some out.

also i forgot to ask this, but for my feedings i turn off the hob filter and the powerhead for 20-30mins for feeding. i leave the skimmer running. does anyone else do this?

 

[leheath]

I used to turn everything off to feed in my 20g. In the 60g, that is a bit too difficult, so everything stays on. I probably have a bit more waste, but my clean up crew seem to take care of it and the movement of the mysis seems to induce a stronger feeding response in my ponies. Eventually, I want to set up a feeding station, but haven't had time yet....

I just put on one of those surface skimmers for HOB filters on Friday. I got the one for the aquaclear filters, I have a marineland 170 so I cut the downtube a little bit, and hooked it up. They really work awsome, and they are like $10-$15. The CPR still throws a few microbubbles into the tank and may get the bubble trap for it still.

Here is a pic of my surface skimmer. If you have surface gunk and have a HOB filter I would recommend you get one of these. They are very adjustable and don't make a sound.

 

[mjstech]

Here are some more random pics, I still need to get a background, and I will get that bubble trap for the CPR.
