The tank:

Well, I have two display tanks for seahorses. One is setup for the dwarfs and the other for the OR captive bred seahorses.

For the dwarf's:

Reasontly changed. We moved our dwarfs, Or soon will, to a 10 gallon hex. It has a Biowheel mini with a sponge filter on one end. It is hoped that the filter will not overwelm the dwarfs. Lighting is not the best but we are working on it. We used a very thin covering of an inert gravel and also plan to add a sponge filter in a short while.

The Eclipse has been cristal clear for several weeks now. We are moving because it is very difficult to keep the temperature cool enough. I don't think the heater ever had to turn on. Remember seahorses should be kept about 72 degrees, or even a bit cooler.

For the OR Seahorses:

A more conventional mini reef type setup.

  • a 20 gallon High (I was told these seahorses were vertically oriented)
  • a heater
  • a biowheel 125
  • a bubble wand
  • about 15# of live rock (with more to be added)
  • about 15# of nice base rock (was dry when bought)
  • inert gravel for the bottom
  • 3 , 15 watt normal lighting. one tube is white light, 1 is Sunlight, 1 is Plant/aqualux
