lex0219 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Looking sweet man! You going to paint the back black? Link to comment
Tanngu87 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yeah! i need to do a water test today. But other then that i might do black or some other color i just dunno what i feel like standing out then everyone else hahha Link to comment
.Newman. Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 you could do what I did and put a foam board cutout as the background. that way you can switch out colors whenever and the paint wont impact your light in any way. Link to comment
lex0219 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Newman has a good point, I just prefer black with the Dwarfs becauseof their color it makes them really stand out. Some people like to use that black tahaiti moon sand with them aswell. Though white sand looks just as good IMO or maybe a mix of both colors. Link to comment

.Newman. Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 they do not look like it...but they do look great! May I suggest more cover though? for the seahorses I mean Link to comment
Noonan Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Very nice! There was a span of like 5 years that I always had dwarf seahorses. Looks like the new setup will be a nice place! You might want to think about getting another small nano tank setup- they breed like guppies! Link to comment
Tanngu87 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Thank you!! =] Thats what i heard about them breeding like guppies. So i talked to alex and im planning to divide my 20L with alot of section so i can turn it into a nursery and i will be searching for more decor that looks nice. I dont want to grab a whole bunch of stuff that will make it ugly. I still need to buy brine shrimp eggs. But please stay tune! they'll be arriving this week. Link to comment
Noonan Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Make sure you got the brine shrimp brewing atleast 24 hours before they come! Link to comment
Tanngu87 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 They come in Tuesday or wednesday. Can anyone explain different methods of growing brine shrimps? Link to comment
Noonan Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I always had multiple tanks of dwarfs both adult and fry- so I need to have constant batches of both baby brine shrinp and adult brine shrimp. The easiest method for me was to fill a 5 gallon bucket with FW. Get a heater in there at like 75-80*. I want to say the warmer the better but that might not be exactly true. Not over 82, for sure. Then like 3-4 2L soda bottles almost in half. I always used the top half with the cap. Fill that part with saltwater, add brine shrimp eggs, and use a clothes pin or a clamp to clamp it to the inside of the bucket. This is so you can keep the the brine shrimp warm- almost like acclimating a fish.. Add air bubbles to the containers with brine shrimp/eggs in it. Wait 24 hours for newly hatched baby brine shrimp, wait longer for adult brine shrimp. Remove the soda bottle top that has the brine shrimp you want to use in it and let it sit in a dark place, uncirculated for a few minutes. Then add a light to one side of the bottle, all the brine shrimp will be attracted to the light and you can syphon them out with an airline hose, or suck them up with a syringe. You're also going to want to rinse them in a brine shrimp net to remove any eggs which are harmful to seahorses and also can contain hydriods. Link to comment
Tanngu87 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Is there and specific amount of egg i pour in? and does it have to be specifically brine shrimp net?? I like your idea with thew 5 gallon bucket Link to comment
