Just finished a 30% water change and some various housekeeping chorse in the SH tank. Thought I'd share the results....
A clean and happy tank...

I know, right??! It's like they know!
Actually, I've had good luck with horse pics, especially during feeding time. My problem has to do with the two Mandarins who also call this tank home -- the male is a camera hog. Not enough so I get a lot of fantastic shots of him, mind you, just enough so the frame is usually filled with a blurry red fin as he cruises on by.
The tank is a 37g tall cube. 24 inches tall IIRC. It's not that hard to clean, really, but the detritus accumulates back behind the rock where the macro fields grow. If you stop and think about it, that's really the entire point of seagrass fields...they slow down the water flow, allowing detritus to fall out of suspension and accumulate so the grass (or algae) can absorb the raw material. Fine on a large scale, but it can still sometimes become a problem with the "raw material" of four horses in a relatively small tank! So yeah, that area is a bit of a pain to siphon the detritus without disturbing the macros.

That's beautful! Can you snap a shot of the macro field? Just curious. I've tried caulerpa several times in my seahorse tank, and either I can't plant it good enough to stay put or it just disappears.

You should try different kinds of macro. Some have grown great in my tank, others simply slowly die off.

I'll try and get a shot of the back of the tank tonight. You can see some of it in the FTS growing up on the back right side under the skimmer. I have mostly C. mexicana and C. prolifera in there, with a little bit of racemosa that sprouts now and then (I try to remove it when I see it)
