Recommended temperature range for seahorse tanks is 68° to 74°, standards or dwarfs. Exception is for temperate tanks where temperatures would be...
10 bubbles per second works fine.
Well, the way to know if the cycle is finished is to add some ammonia and bring the level to 1ppm and see if it clears overnight.
Well if it's a well known fact, how come the subject doesn't come up on the biggest seahorse site available, seahorse.org? There are plenty of posts...
You could always just use ambient lighting from the room. If none there, use a clamp on socket or cheap lamp with small wattage CFL or LED near the...
Can you post links for the research you found? I'd like to read all I can on this topic. I just did a search on seahorse.org and checked out...
What preparation do you need? I leave mine in the tank and they eat the same enriched bbs that the adults do. The dwarf fry are about the size of my...
That's funny, all (6) my seahorse tanks are lit with a timer so lights come on abruptly and go out abruptly. They are completely in the dark...

Well I do know some about seahorses but then I've been on seahorse dot org for ten years now. I have no doubts there are more knowledgeable...

Decapping is a PITA but it makes the hatch happen a bit faster and it lessens the chances of getting hydroids in the tank. You could also sterilize...
Unless your home gets below 68° for long periods of time, you WON'T need a heater for seahorses. Most people have trouble because they allow their...
You don't really want more than about 5g as it gets to tedious to remove the uneaten bbs before the next feeding unless you are shutting down the...
Nope! As long as you don't start with a sterile system you should automatically get mysids from live rock and from corals with skeletons on them....
Each of my systems have mysid cultures growing throughout the system including the display tanks. I used to culture them separately using a mysid...
Just plain not feasible!! First, you would have to do a full chemical analysis on the used water after you do whatever treatment, and then, based on...
I've had them in every tank but my seahorse tanks with the oldest ones being in my main reef tank having been there now about 15yrs or so. There are...
