    hi there,

    i have finally taken the dive and got a seahorse for my tank,

    I have been setting a tank up for about 2 months, the cycle finished about two weeks ago, well today i went to my lfs to get some plastic plants for anchor points,
    I saw a horse in there coral tank, being blasted from all angles and was in temp 82 with lighting blinding me let alone horsey,
    I had a go at the bloke, but he did not care, he said he had three in there but two died, this one didn't look great.
    I had to take the plunge and go for it, the poor sod would not last longer, so I have my first horse and he seems ok,called him lucky and hes now in the dark in his new setup, ill take pics tomorrow when hes calmed down and hopfully will be ok!!
