hi there jervis, love the rockwork!! cant wait to your horsies in there.

Hi bro Ian... I can't wait too... but will wait for a while longer :nc:

Tested NO2 (0.01 Salifert) and NO3 (2.5 Salifert) today :erm:

Slowly introducing corals from my main tank :P The Coco Worm looks very happy in here as the current is much weaker than my main tank.

The skimmer is still producing microbubbles (occasionally) :( Will let it run-in for a couple of days more before I start to panic :pinch:

It's a well documented problem on some foreign forum.

Yeah but RS claimed to have fixed the issue :cry:

Not bad. But i prefer the those red and yellow ones.

:huh:

LCK has but too bad they are not for sales. Really impressive. :D

One day when they are easily become available i might set up one.

From my experience, i think SH needs height rather than width. The longer tank you have the better. Slow flow... Lots of branching corals like seafan, etc. Tonga rocks also nice. But must choose those thinner branches types.

Last time, feeding SH is a problem because their food is not easily available. Like live copepod and so on.

Now seems easy.. You might want to try buy some from LCK, those small shrimps.. look great for SH.

Infact they are great for fishes too.

:D

Bro I also have 3 Orange and 1 Yellow Brazillian Reidi... ready to be transferred over. I really should drop by LCK soon :)

All my SH (5 pieces) are feeding on frozen mysis and brine shrimp... was lucky to receive these fine specimens from a reefer.

Planning to transfer the SH over tomorrow :)

Does seahorse feed on red grape?

Nope they are mainly carnivore (as explained by bro Iantoh)... they love clinging and hanging around the Red Grape... here's my Pale Yellow Reidi... I should give them names!

At the sand bed, I am trying to plant an old colony of Red Bamboo... been wiped clean by my fishes (main tank) <_<
