    Hi,
    After reading about compatible fish for sea horse tanks, I found a small goby thats supposed to be pretty mellow and was on the list at seahorse org as comaptible.
    I took acouple pics of the first encounter.

    subtrate

    Hi,
    Theres a bunch of that ultra fine sand under the pebbles I had some remaining when I broke down the 55 gal and put in about 5 in of sand.
    I used this under the sand and it worked its way to the top most likely a bad idea for subtrate but the sump and the main are taking care of the organics for the system thru a overflow to a shared sump.
    That way I don't have to wait 6 weeks for the new tank to cycle.
    This tanks only been up about 2 days.
