Power head in Seahorse tank

[Allmost]

Hello all,
Any one have power heads in their SH tank ? if so, what kind ? any Issues ?

I have always used maxijets, cause there is a long distance between the proppel and the inlet, so the seahorse tail can never get far enough in there to get hurt. but how about others like Smaller Tunze pumps ? korallia ? and so on ...

I use mini jet power heads that run all the time, and, I run Hagen 802 power heads with quick filter attachment to prevent catching seahorses but to catch water borne left over food particles for removal.

thank you as always Ray always appreciate your help.

I was fine with my pair ... till I saw the the ones Ken got yesterday ... brought back some good memories lol I have a 60G azoox reef as well now, low temps [70-72] with 4 tunze pumps ... I can cover those as you mentioned.

still not 100% sure if I will add seahorses to that set up though ... these are a couple of tube anemones in there :| if I do decide to add SHs Ill put the anemones in the sump.

The ones Ken just got in are quite small, smaller than I like to see them sold.
I would imagine he'll be complaining to Beth about the "quick shipment" rather than let them grow another month before selling.

I have an mp10 in my horse tank. It allows for changing flows and current. I cover it with a "re-usable" produce bag cut down. I rinse it daily along with the foam filter cover.

I use a Tunze "nano" wavebox in my 110 gallon tank. (Don't let the term "nano" fool you...this wavebox is plenty strong enough for a 60 gallon tank) Works great and no worries about sucking up the seahorses (or anybody else that might be in there).
