SO as I have said in a couple posts I have turned my RSM into a seahorse tank. Pam and I did a combined order through www.seahorsesource.com and they were amazing to work with. We each got a male and a female and here are mine.
Oh and yes Mark that is cyano  i am working on trying to get the flow right and the clean up crew I ordered at reefcleaners.com got delayed because the owner was in an accident so I am waiting for my package to get here:(
My female has amazing Cirri, I absolutely love her: 
I am convinced the male hates me!  Anytime I go near the tank he turns his head away from me 
Thanks for looking:) ------------- Jackie Stuver "wait these aren't the happy Hawaiians oompa doompa godly heaven on your face zoas? I dont want them then. lol!" Ksmart |

Those are some of the most amazing seahorses I have seen. I look forward to hearing how well they do. ------------- ---------------- Richard Former 47G Column Reef, Magna 20" x 18" x 31"H |

Good luck to you, I don't think those are something I would take on yet  ------------- If not for construction, where would we be? |

Jackie, I don't dare take pics of mine because mine would be just camera pics :). Pam |

Thanks everyone. As of today they have been hooked to each other for the better part of the day. Breeding may be in the near future although I don't plan to raise any just yet:) ------------- Jackie Stuver "wait these aren't the happy Hawaiians oompa doompa godly heaven on your face zoas?

I have a cage you could put around the PH intake to keep the ponies from getting damaged.

There actually is a cage thing on the intake, I guess you just can't see it. Thanks for the offer though I appreciate it. ------------- Jackie Stuver "wait these aren't the happy Hawaiians oompa doompa godly heaven on your face zoas? I dont want them then. lol!" Ksmart |

I can see the standard strainer. I'm talking about a cage that goes around the strainer. Seahorses can
get sucked up against that standard strainer and die there. I think I
have a pic somewhere...here it is. The suction is much less, the further away you get from the intake port. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

Oh I see basically using the needle stitch stuff to make a cage. I can do that:) However I watched my female wrap herself around the strainer part today and get off just fine. ------------- Jackie Stuver "wait these aren't the happy Hawaiians oompa doompa godly heaven on your face zoas?

On another note I have found that my seahorses like a higher flow then I expected. Especially when they are hunting for food :). Pam |

Ha I know my female hangs upside down from a rock and blows in front of one of the powerheads makes me laugh! ------------- Jackie Stuver "wait these aren't the happy Hawaiians oompa doompa godly heaven on your face zoas? I dont want them then. lol!" Ksmart |
