I got this from Biocube14 a few weeks ago. I wanted a tank to put in our new nursery. This one fits perfect. I'm planning on adding 2 pairs of reidi seahorses and my pair of bangaii cardinals. Hopefully the cardinals will continue to breed and maybe I can raise some. As for corals I think I will try to stay with zoa, mushrooms, rics and gsp. Basically anything I can take from my main tank that is compatible with the light. The pendant is a 55w pc that is circular. I kept the stock pump, but added a hydor-flo to spread the flow around for the seahorses. I'm breaking in the sapphire skimmer I got at TMAC. It works great. The original skimmer went into the trash after I accidentally dropped it. I also painted the black stand to match the white furniture in the room and added a seahorse decal to the glass.

That looks awesome jc!! I love my seahorses and finally mastered their care. They are ORA Reidi, male and female. You should see them try to breed. It is so interesting. Good luck and I look forward to their arrival.

Nicely done. Love what you did with the stand. Very creative.

Just a quick update. I now have 4 reidi seahorses from seahorsesource. I've also added some gsp and caulerpa prolifera. Tomorrow I should be receiving more algae from reefcleaners:Red Gracilaria, Pencil Cap, Halimeda scabra, Flame Algae, Codium, and Christmas Tree.

I love how seahorses will try and match the color of their surroundings. Yours is trying to be green like the caulerpa. Add a red sponge and one might turn red too.
