Will Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 You should be fine, I don't think the silicon is necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Sweet. Tank looks a LOT better without the trim. Need to get another few fresh razor blades to finish off the silicone film that is left over, though. After that, should be pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Rangoon Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 To be honest, I think you're underestimating the Panorama units a bit if you're considering 2 of them over your tank - but to each his own. You'd be cleaning the glass a lot less frequently with a single PAR38 unit (depending on brand of bulb, color temperature, and optics) - but I'm glad you got and enjoy the Panorama. You may want to add one or two Stunner Strips to go along with it, people are often surprised by how bright they are. I've got a single 453nm royal blue Stunner and a pair of 403nm UV Stunners over my 150g and it's far from a glorified moonlight If you do end up adding Stunner Strips to your set-up, make sure to get the optional reflectors - they are priceless and seem to at least double the amount of light focused into the tank.

cMidd Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Very awesome. I opted for two females because I can't meet the demands of a breeding pair and I wouldn't be able to throw away re dead without trying. I hope this works man!

I might end up adding another stunner or two. I'm going to add some corals here soon and watch them. If they need more light, I can add more! Very awesome.

I was originally going to go with two females to avoid the work that you have to put in with a breeding pair, but I figured if I can get another tank set up, I can handle taking care of the fry. I've been talking to some other people on other boards who I can ship my fry to in the case that I couldn't take care of them, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cMidd Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Those are very pretty. I am thinking of Sticking two of the mangroves into the sand for them. How strong is your flow in there? I can't wait till I get a larger tank and get more haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Video will be on my YouTube channel as well Collin, I have hardly any flow in there at all. I've got a filter that circulates, and that is it. I'm planning to add a very small Tunze in there for them to play in. It is a common misconception that Seahorses do not like flow, when in fact, they love it! As long as they have a place to rest that is out of the strong current.

cMidd Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hmm, I have one of the "regular" power heads from RCA, you know what I'm talking about? It's a 15g right now and it's pretty strong. I'll turn it on and see how they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 A Koralia perhaps? Thats what I find most people have. Just make sure you can cover the intake with a sponge or panty hose to keep the Seahorses from hitching onto it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hatching cone for the BBS is on its way, as well as two bottles of decapsulated cysts. Bought them from seahorsesource.com... best website out there for Seahorses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
