Emerald525 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Thanks Jeff (I think) for the great deal on the Nuvo cylinder tank. At the June meeting I bought seahorses for Sirena and she wants them upstairs so I will slowly take down the Nuvo 20 I have. It's going in the kitchen because she soends a lot of time there! It's a pretty cool tank! Here's a picture ! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexinverts Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Ha ha. We've all got seahorses on the brain. I picked up my seahorse tank yesterday from Jeff too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Very cool! I'm guessing it's an AIO setup with the flat back panel. Wonder if they make one without the AIO panel for a jelly tank.... Very nice place for a tank! Can't wait to see it stocked. Some dwarfs and a bluestripe pipefish would be sweet. Some NPS corals would be cool too... I need one!

I saw it on his counter and thought they were so cool. He has the drop off tank too but I like this better. Ha ha. We've all got seahorses on the brain. I picked up my seahorse tank yesterday from Jeff too. Did you get the same tank? After that talk from Colby at the last meeting, I have a feeling a lot of us are going to have seahorses now.

Some dwarfs and a bluestripe pipefish would be sweet. Some NPS corals would be cool too... I need one! Yes you do! And yes nps would be cool. I have always loved the Gorgonians just afraid they wouldn't do well. I already have seahorses in a 24 nuvo. They are H. Erectus so I worry that this will be too small for them but right now they are small so they should be good for a while in here. Yes it's an AIO with a flat back panel. It's 12 gallons total. I liked how everything looked so much bigger in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why people like them but I have a thing for symmetry.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read all the research but ended up being a stickhead hahaha I have never kept seahorses before but after talking to Colby they are not as difficult as you think. You could in theory keep them in your reef as they do fine with higher flows. You just have to make sure they are target fed as they are slow feeders with small stomachs. H. Erectus are very hardy as long as you get captive bred. Captive bred are trained to eat frozen usually mysis. Wild caught are usually weak and frail by the time they make it to the fish store and often will only eat live food. I was keeping them downstairs in my QT tank but Sirena wanted them upstairs and I really liked the new tank Jeff has so here we are now with 3 tanks lol but I will be breaking down the 20 and transferring most of it to the seahorse tank and my reefer 250.
