75 Gallon Seahorse & Macro Algae Display

Tank looks good, seriously packed!

Thanks... Running out of real estate but think I can fit a few more types in there

Challenge from here is trying to ensure that nothing gets grown over by another algae.

Beautiful tank, definitely a great example for reefers to look at and see the potential for a macro dominated aquascape!

So how many ponies are in your tank?

 

[vlangel]

What do you dose regularly? I dose iron, ions to raise magnesium and strontium. I have iodine but since I do 33% water change every week i haven't been dosing that or calcium figuring the salt will provide enough. I just wondered if I am dosing enough for my macros.

I had 8... What I was almost certain was 4 males and 4 females....

Turns out I had 5 males and just 3 females..

So I recently added another female to at least make the ratio 5 male and 4 female.

I dose with basically the same stuff

 

[vlangel]

Yep, we are dosing pretty much the same stuff. Thanks for the info. I bet you see a lot of courtship dances? My goodness, your tank must be full of fry all the time! My single pair produce fry almost every month, although some times she misses his pouch. I give the fry to a lfs owner as I don't want to be tied down now that it is almost summer.

 

[FinzAquatics]

Not yet honestly. I'm hoping to see them produce some fry.

Once they start, I hope my Molly miller doesn't eat them... Mine seems to be pretty food aggressive and territorial from time to time.

Had a minor issue in my other tank yesterday and had to rescue my percula clownfish. So they have been temporarily added to the seahorse tank until I fix the issue in my 40 gallon tank.

Your tank really has a beautiful macroscape
What do you use to trim? Any problems with things rusting or do you thoroughly rinse your tools?

 

[Devaji108]

Hey Finz how about a vid of your SH and macro's would make my day!

 

[mzkrista]

Are you still not using a filter for the tank? How are you getting enough flow without a filter other than power heads

3x power heads
1x hob Refugium

Is where all my flow comes from. Seems to be more than enough

No issues really with rusting. I trim mostly by hand
