Ah! What to do?!

Hi everyone.

I have a male H. Erectus that is about to EXPLODE with babies! Theres just one problem... I don't have a tank set up.

I have all of the supplies, and started putting it up tonight. I am going to have a 30g long with a divider, 2/3 of the tank will be for the fry, and the other half for filtration.

For filtration I will be using an Emperor 350 Bio-Wheel. It is a LOT of filtration for a 30g, but I don't think too much filtration with that bio-load is going to be an issue. I will also be using a UV sterilizer and a small heater. I will also be adding a piece of live rock from my current tank with the parent Seahorses in it to help it cycle as fast as possible.

There will be an air line on either side of the fry's portion of the tank to keep them from getting stuck in surface tension.

For food, I am going to start hatching BBS as soon as my decapsulated cysts get in from Seahorsesource on Wednesday.

If the babies arrive early, I'm sure a friend locally can spare me some of her BBS.


PLEASE tell me if I'm leaving anything out, and PLEASEEEEE give me your suggestions. They are beyond needed!

Thank you!!

Empty jars will get you by until you get your set up ready.
It's all I use for raising my reidi fry.
