Origami October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 Are you planning to bring lightening strike clove polyps to the event? Don't forget: If you want something specific on their site, you can always pre-order it and have them deliver it to the meeting. This is just a general note to everybody and a great way to save costs as well as to reduce shipping stress, and to get exactly what you want.

YHSublime October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 About the Seahorses. I have set up a low flow interesting dimension tank. It is cycled, , has no powerheads, just a return Maxijet pump, and is 6 feet long, and 10" high and deep. I imagine this would make an excellent seahorse tank, but my concern comes to the temperature. The lowest I could probably keep the tank is around 73F, but it is not hard to keep heated, I know from what I've heard that seahorses prefer colder water. I don't have a light on it yet, but I imagine I will soon. Would this make for a decent sea horse tank? If there are other fish in there, will that be an issue?

WishNewFish October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 Thanks Origami for the tip. YHSublime, just a note, I did some research that seahorses need more vertical space to swim rather than horizontal space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, As far as temperature, we recommend keeping the aquarium between 70-74 F for seahorses. I recommend at least a 20 inch deep aquarium. Seahorses will use both vertical and horizontal space in the aquarium. We generally recommend a 30 gallon aquarium for a pair of our seahorses, but a larger aquarium is even better. Our Erectus seahorses will grow to 5-7 inches and our Reidi x Erectus hybrid seahorses will grow to 5-8+ inches. 10 inches is not enough vertical height for them. Seahorses do best in a species only aquarium without other fish. They are slow eaters and can be easily out competed for food by other fish. They do not handle aggression from other fish well either. You can keep them with different soft corals and inverts including Gorgonians, sponges, leathers, and zoanthids. Our seahorses are very robust, very active, friendly, trained to eat frozen Mysis shrimp and are very hardy when their particular needs are met. Let me know if you have any questions about anything. We look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting! -Alyssa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime October 16, 2015 Share October 16, 2015 Thanks for the very specific explanation! Looks like they are not the best fit for me atm! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific East Aquaculture October 16, 2015 Author Share October 16, 2015 Are you planning to bring lightening strike clove polyps to the event? We have a lot of nice corals picked out for the meeting. I will double check and see if we selected any clove polyps. If you see anything specific on the website you want us to bring, feel free to place a pre-order. All pre-orders must be in today for tomorrow's meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
