Seahorse feeding station

[DSDoyle]

Hello,

I am planning a seahorse only tank. I am thinking about utilizing a feeding station. Has anyone had any experience with them and which one(s) is best. My thought is getting them to feed at the station and hopefully making it easier to keep the water clean/healthy.

Thank you for your time,

Don

Yes a feeding station is a very good idea to help keep your seahorse tank cleaner. I made my own. I have done multiple types from just a small bowl on the floor of the tank and putting a rigid acrylic tube down to the bowl and using a turkey baster to squirt thawed mysis down the tube into the bowl.
I also glued magnets on bowls that could be attached to the side of the tank. I glued soft rubber hitching posts to the bowl. This feeding station was very helpful in keeping the ravenous peppermint shrimp out of the seahorses' food.

Another helpful thing in keeping a seahorse tank clean is a bare bottom. I painted my seahorse tank on the outside of the bottom glass to look like sand.

Here is what a FTS looked like. I hope this helps and I wish you the very best with your ponies. They are such charming pets.
