Eckozulu's seahorse tank

Well, after starting out with a jellyfish art tank(yes, I know death trap but I kept 2 jellies in there for a year, with ALOT of water changes), I got hooked on the hobby. Next I moved to a fluval spec 5 gallon(my quarantine tank now). Loved it but it was just too small. So, upgraded to an IM Nuvo24(full reef tank). Still up and running. And now my pony tank...

 

Tank dims: 15x15x24 tall. Stand is premade aqueon stand.

 

Equipment:

JBJ 1/15hp Artica chiller

Fluval nano sea LED, debating on a AI nano

Cobalt 50w neotherm heater.

BRS deluxe reactor, running carbon and GFO mix

Aquamaxx HOB-1 skimmer

Reefkeeper lite, keeps my tank at 72.5

Cobalt mj1200 pump

Tunze nano osmolator

Hydor koralia nano, only turn it on occasionally

 

Livestock:

2- H. erectus seahorses (male/female)

1- yellow head pearly jawfish

20g snail CUC from reefcleaners

1- small skunk cleaner shrimp

3- blue legged hermit crabs

 

Coral:

2- red gorgs

1- yellow gorg

1- purple sea whip

1- orange tree sponge

Dragon eye zoas

 

Macro:

Red grape culp.

Red grac.

Shaving brush

Mermaid fan

 

And yes I have one fake sea fan. It is for the ponies when they eat out of their shell bowls. Hopefully I'll get the pix up soon.

 

Oh..... Trying to come up with a way to sump my jelly tank, ideas???? I LOVE nanotopia's ADA tank, thinking of something like that.

Nice tank! Glad to see another seahorse tank here on NR. That super tall tank will look amazing when the gorgonians start to get really tall and fill in the top. I bet the seahorses love the dimensions of that tank :) Its cool to see that you have some gorgonians and sponges that I have in my seahorse tank and it seems like yellowhead jawfish are the go to fish in seahorse tanks on NR. Great minds think alike :lol: How long has the tank been up and running?

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!!!

 

Tank has been since August, but the horses only been in there since October.

 

The links you guys had here really helped ALOT. Always wanted a yellowhead, and your tank finally pushed me over the edge!

 

These guys love to dance in their tall tank! Every morning they are all over the place.

Tank looks great!

I would love some sea horses some time in the future when I have some spare time to feed them :happy:

Really looking forward to seeing the tank when all those gorgs have grown tall and makes the whole tank come alive omgomgomg
