cMidd Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) moved my two female H. Erectus ponies into a new (larger) 30g earlier today. had it cycling with live rock from my other systems for a week prior to the move as to make sure nothing spiked. everything is great, the horses are doing good. here's a FTS and the two ponies, lemme know what you think. fts: Edited August 5, 2011 by JamesL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cMidd Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 its okay....i am picking up dragons breath tomorrow....then going to get a red macro eventually. how's your new male? you split up a pair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Sounds good! The new male is fine... my god, he is HUGE! They are all in there together, actually. There might be some competition for mating, but that shouldn't be a big issue. They are not violent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlloyd123 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Looks great man. How long was tank cycling before adding seahorses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cMidd Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Brooks - true. I am looking forward to adding to my "herd"! Jlloyd - this tank didn't "cycle" in the sense you are thinking. Everything in that tank except for 20g of water is from my other systems including the filtration. I let it sit with sand-filter and some rocks for 5 days before adding them.

Laura Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Collin...the tank looks awesome!!! NICE liverock and aquascaping...they have many places to hitch on. Did you check with viet-tin at River City to see if he has any macro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooks Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I am looking up some red macro algae that isn't invasive. I'll text you when I find something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cMidd Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I know the red "caluerpa" but it isn't caluerpa it's just sold as that. Not sure where to get any but online. I Wouldve loved to try a planted but that's gonna have to wait. Having a 8" deep SB and planting sea grass would be to cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think you'd eventually grow tired of seeing 8" of sand on your front glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cMidd Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 True that. But - the tank would have to be PRETTY deep to even consider it. So I doubt 8-14" would make a difference. However-I need nice macro! If anyone has any I will buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlloyd123 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 i want some dragons breath too...i ll bring chop sticks and rubberbands for trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 gorgonia's may also be a good choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cMidd Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I am actually looking for some will! When a nice one comes along that is affordable I'll be grabbing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The Dome normally have some gorgonians in stock. The last two I have gotten were from them. Though, both of mine are photosyn' types, so you might need to make sure you have enough light. I guess the gorgonian polys don't deliver enough sting to hurt the seahorses, and that the occasional hitching does not irritate the gorgonian? This is my favorite one I got a while back from the Dome: BTW, those are some great pictures of your ponies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
