20 Gallon Seahorse tank

Wow. I think Ill set up with the small power head and up it to see how they do. I would much rather have more flow. Maybe a small korelia cant have a tank without one of those. What kind of power heads do you use to keep them from being sucked in?

 

i dont use a power head ill take a picture of my set up and show it to you

 

Sweet thank you for the help. K+

 

sry i havent found a camera yet but what does your overflow/ fuge system look like ? if you have one yet

 

Im planning on having an in tank fuge for this tank. No sump.

 

i see i thought about it but to expensive

 

Finally moving forward on this one.

Just ordered the in tank fuge:
MarineDepot.com

And an LED clip light:
MarineDepot.com

Not sure how the light will work out for lighting the fuge and display but I want to stay all LED to keep heat down on this tank. I may even add a chiller to keep water around 65.

My next steps will be:

rock and sand as soon as the fuge and lights get here
chaeto in the fuge
small korelia for surface agitation


I have a few rocks in tank already with a damsel to get them started so Im not expecting a long cycle. I should be starting to cycle this weekend if all goes well.

 

Awesome mike.. cant wait to see pics.

 

I can't wait to see it!

 

More updates. Got my in tank fuge, light, a korelia and a UV filter. The heater is on the way and I will be ordering a bio wheel filter within the next week. Should be ready for horses now. Its under a forced test right now. All my fish are being QT'd in there for ich with all the rock taken out so the bacteria in it wouldnt die. I have the fuge filled with chaeto and its doing an amazing job. 4 fish and a snowflake eel in a 20 gallon with no filtration and I cant detect ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate. By the time I get the bio wheel on there this will be one beast of a system. Anyway heres a pic for you. Ill post more when the water clears.

Oh and a side note about the LED light. To anyone doubting the use of LED's they are amazing. This is the low end of the technology and still it penetrates to the bottom of my tank and has great color. We will see how the plants grow though.
