Hi all,
I am converting my 56 gallon pillar tank into a seahorse tank. I will be putting 2 pairs of black tank bred, tank raised Erectus. I have some Macro in there now, Green Grape Caulerpa, Feather Caulerpa, and some Red Macro... it's not easy getting Macros in Canada so that will be a work in progress.
I have live sand in there and one huge rock (at least 30-40 pounds) and some Barnacle. The tank is just settling now from the additional sand I put in there. I have a canister filter with live rock and media in there (no foam) but no protein skimmer on there yet. I also have a little kenya tree in there for now that can easily go back in my reef.
All advice is greatly appreciated (rayjay I read your article and the links on it Plus I watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqYUTTqupOY which really helped hehe.
I am thinking of putting a T8 50/50 on the tank (the tank came with a T8 ballast) Since I won't be putting in much corals I think it will be ok for the Macroalgae. I do want some color in there and I was thinking of maybe putting multiple zoas on my big rock to make it more colorful or the purple coral I have below that look like little flowers, does anyone know what it is?
Here is my setup... like I said it's on it's own Canister Filter... were not sharing sumps here
