    Well now to decide on the horseys;) This lady from roxys reef has been a HUGE help with this tank so I feel obligated to buy from her, but OUCH, she is pricey, but her stuff seems quality. Hers are tank bred and she QTs and makes sure that there is nothing wrong with the horseys. And most the others on Ebay are wild caught, which I dont like the thought of, too much too go wrong. But they are 1/2 price. I know I'll end up paying for the better quality but OUCH. But if you are considering them, check this lady out, she's redoing the website but has stuff on Ebay too. She just gave me a good deal on decapsulated brine shrimp, and small cuc, some pods and other stuff, and she shipped prior to me paying so they'd be here by Saturday. I'm thinking horseys next week. And if I type horseys 1 more time in this thread, I expect someone to come and slap me! ;)

    BTW thanks guys.

    I started the cycle with bio spira and some fish food, and she's sending;
    Bio-Start Cycle (5 Gal Mix) - Super Saturated Bio-Start Cycle Media Formula

    and I'm adding some microbe-lift as well.

    May pick up some pure ammonia today to use instead of the fish food, thoughts?

    You did say horseys a lot.

    I got the pics you texted (I hate how that sounds in past tense!) me. The tank is looking great so far. Good luck with your new babies. :)

    I've wanted seahorses for a while now.......maybe in a few years when I finally settle down somewhere.

    Sean, I think this could work great in a dorm. small tank, low equipment so its easier to tear down and take home. you should consider it. when they have babies, I'll ship ya some;)
