    yeah, I though about putting my acuaclear on it as well and put LR in as a fuge type filter.

    enjoy, but read up, it seems like fun. I'm gonna play with this for a month or so and then either make a planted tank for them or move up to the bigger horses;)

    BtW rayjay, are you the same one on about 3 other forums? If so you def know your horses!
    What do you think of running a canister on this? Overkill?

    This is the boxes for a dwarf seahorse tank! Don't worry! Not too bad! Just dumb shipping practices!

    And those are the awesome decorations chosen by my son! No spongebob house, but it'll work;)
    Time to get this going and cycling;)

    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 hobbyists on the org and most of them haven't been there as long as I have.
    At my age, it's harder to learn things than it is for you youngsters.
    The artificial corals in your picture are the same as mine and I had to glue them to rock rubble to keep them stable.

    OK, bro, just curious, it seems like every site I'm on, I run into a rayjay that knows his stuff!

    Thanks for the help, and yes, I'm gonna cut these up and glue them to the rock work!

    In total I have registered as rayjay on about 13 forums that I have been going to. I'm tapering off to the ones I post on most as I'm downsizing and getting rid of all my reef tanks and just sticking with seahorses for my last years.
    The majority of things I post about are seahorses or brine shrimp where I have a bit more knowledge than some have.
    I forgot to answer on the cannister question.
    I personally only use cannisters short term for specific reasons because I tend to get lazy.
    Cannisters need to be cleaned out on a weekly basis because the become bedding grounds for nasty bacteria like vibriosis that is one of the major problems for any seahorse.
