Ok, I am going to try and post a video of my seahorse tank, and the LPS tank is featured also. Excuse my amateur attempt at videography.
Oops, no video yet....still working on it. My videography skills are better than my computer skills which is really sad!

Beautiful set up for your ponies. Can you tell me more about it, like lighting, macros, feed, etc?

Thank you for the kind words! I'd be glad to share about my set up. My lights are a 4 bulb T5 fixture by Coralife. Currently it has the stock bulbs that came with the unit, 2 actinic and 2 10k. I plan to change 1 actinic to a purple and one 10k to a coral daylight. That is what I have on the LPS bowfront tank. The blues 9 hrs and the daylights run 5hrs. The macros are feather calerpa, (which I thin weekly to prevent it from going sexual) cheato, red flame dragon's breath, blue scroll and an unknown red macro on the right. I feed frozen mysis twice a day. My stallion eats great but my mare is picky so I've been feeding enriched adult brine at the end of the day. I enrich the brine with Dan's feed immune boost formula. The tank has been set up since May but I only ordered my ponies last week so I am still very new at keeping seahorses. I also seeded the tank with pods all summer. The pony tank is connected via sump to my long established bowfront tank for an entire system volume of 65 gallons. I needed its chiller but I do have a UV on the return going to the pony tank. Both tanks run at 71-74 degrees and I add a probiotic daily to the systems water for control of bacteria. That's about it. Thanks for looking. :-)

That is so cute with them holding tails. I love it when mine do that. It looked like the 4 ponies I could see in your tank were girls. Is that for birth control?

Yes they are all girls, lol yes I dont think I am ready to deal with baby ponies yet I would be too heart broken to have babies and not able to raise them.

Are the ghost shrimp in there as food? Do they reproduce in the system? Do your seahorse bother peppermint shrimp? Or vise versa?

Really lovely setup. Do any of your corals ever bother the seahorses? And i am also interested in possible adding pipefish in my seahorse system, glad to see you have them mingling well

Thank you for the kind comment on my set up. No, none of the corals bother the seahorses at all and the ponies hitch on all of them. Soft corals utilize nitrates and phosphates as food so like macros, they are beneficial in water quality.
My pipefish came from Ocean Rider as well, ( its where the seahorses came from) and they are captive bred. To my knowledge the only CB pipefish that I know of. They are suppose to eat frozen mysis floating in the water column but I have yet to see them do that even though I have chopped the mysis smaller to better fit their mouths. I have seen them take a little enriched adult brine. I am also hatching bb for them and enriching that too.

I asked Ocean Rider for 2 female seahorses for the same reason as you, but somehow I got a male and female. I wasn't about to send one back so I have a pair. Yesterday I watched them spend several hours twirling and rising and descending all over the tank. I am not set up to handle fry either so I hope they have yet to consummate their union! Uhhg!

Good to know about the soft corals. And good luck with your pair, hopefully you will be ready to handle babies shall it happen

Here is a video of my 2 week oled seahorse fry. Sorry it's not very good but you get the idea.
OK maybe not. I will have to try that again.
