Hi all, I've been registered on this site for some time, but I've not posted very much here. With the project that I have planned, however, I think I'll find myself here quite often.
At this point, I have a 37gal reef tank that I'm upgrading to a 46gal bowfront. I have the new tank/stand/lights and equipment...now it's a matter of finding the right time to make the switch (new tank has to be placed where my current one is).
I do have a great place to set up my 37gal, and my plan is to make it into a seahorse tank. I'm thinking that I would like to start out with a couple of hippocampus erectus females. I know of a LFS that sells only captive bred, and that's the only kind I'm willing to go with. Will this type of seahorse do well in a 37gal, given the proper conditions, of course?
Also, I would like to keep the 37gal's sand in the 37, and start with fresh sand in my new tank (to avoid a major cycle). Are there any problems with doing this? I will also have to be adding new LR to the 37, since all, or most will be used in my 46. Ugh...so MANY questions!!
One step at a time. Replies appreciated.
