My 29 Eclipse

[mano]

I downsized from a 75 gal to this 29 yesterday. It all went smoothly and so I wanted to show off my new tank.

Tank inhabitants are 2 erectus seahorses (raised by me), 1 multibanded pipefish, 2 yellowtail damsels (no they don't bother the seahorses), 5 green abalone (cultured myself), 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 scarlet cleaner shrimp, hermit crab and nassarius, cerith and Astrea snails.

Neat tank!

Looks like the magfloat gets a lot of love too

Take the damsels or seahorses out. Just the damsels fast swimming will stress the seahorses out terribly. That's why they are hiding behind the filter intake. Those horses are scared to death...cruel...

Brock- I appreciate your concern but the seahorses and damsels have been together for over a year and half and I've seen no problems. The seahorses are not "hiding" behind the filter intake either. The seahorses roam around freely and just happened to be hitching on the filter intake when I took the pic.....maybe they like it?! As I stated before I breed these animals and know a thing or two about them. I would not hesitate to remove the damsels if they did anything that stressed or hurt the seahorses.
