SkyFire's 46 Bow Front - Update 1-1-16

I run the 750, and the K3 in my 46g, You will love love love tthe 750.

Smaller and to boot Its flow is directed much nicer! since the snail gaurds are built in now.

 

Cool...I plan on getting a 2nd one and eventually a wavemaker to run them on. Should be enough flow (with 2) that's 32x flow rate!

 

So here is my idea for a stocking list.

1 Pair Stripped Mandarins
1 Pair Banggai Cardinals
1 Pair H. Kuda or Reddi Seahorses (is what I'm leaning towards right now)
1 Neon Blue Goby

After the display fuge (20G Tall) is installed
a Yellow Watchman Goby & Randall's Pistol Shrimp

 

sounds like a good list

 

Im not sure how the cardinals would act with the Seahorses. My cardinals are spazzes and are swimming more then being idle.

 

mmmmm...they're supposed to be ok with them...may need to rethink. I sure hope they're ok ..I like them.

I'm gonna try and keep about a third of the tank lower flow for the seahorses...though I've read some individuals like the higher flow areas (for a little bit of time anyway)

 

Thanks...hope it works out....can't wait to get the seahorses but I'm gonna wait till the tank is at least 6 months old before adding them.

 

Good idea! +k

Start feeding your tank pods! like a package or two a month. Will really get a good jump start!

 

Is what I thought I'd do and make pod piles....plus the rock I'm getting have lots of places for the pods to hide and breed too...so am hoping that'll help. As soon as I get more rock I'll order some pods and some decorative macro (want to make sure it's well established b4 the horsies).

 

John at Reefcleaners sells pods... Good price too and they dont need to be "overnight" shipped which is nice, makes it way cheaper.
