tank looks very neat and clean.....u are using a hang on back filter?? and is the SH feeding?

[allantang]

thanks.. will add a few more corals to make it more natural . Hope the sh will feel more at home..

nope.. is a hang on prizm skimmer. simple filtration system. think of doing a sump later..

and yap... they are feeding ok. they are pretty curious creatures n loves to hunt.

Hi Allan, great to c ur new sh tank, have fun wif this creature. But i doubt so u need to buy live seawater for ur setup? maybe just seawater from iwarna will do, keep them in the jerry can for 2 to 3 weeks, all parasites will just gone. of course, live seawater is more safer if u have more ex. sh in ur tank. Just my opinion.

Thanks peong. i think likewise. maybe i don hv to worry too much about the minerals n ph n stuff. I'm doing a 25% water change every 2 days.. until my sump is up. by then, i do not need to change that much of sea water.

update of my tank..

[allantang]

wonder if any of u has the similiar experience on feeding.. pls do share on how u handle the situation..

there are 4 sh in my tank of which 2 only eats copepods, 1 eats anything consumable for it n the other only frozen mysis.

anyone has any suggest on how to train the 2 that eats only copepods?

[peong]

Just feed them wif frozen mysis, slowly they will try on it... No worries

This is just a coral's guide where it safe with SH. thought i just put it here to share. Fyi, these pictures r taken from the net. Please do add to the list if u found more..

[allantang]

continue... If i got a wrong picture with it's name.. pls do let me know.. thanks

[allantang]

i'm so happy today!! all 4 SH eating frozen mysis... yes! yes! yes!

[allantang]

there are many fishes that can go along with SH.. so think i'm going to break into 2 parts or more.

ps: clown fish (Amphiprion ocellaris) is ok when it is small.. could be a problem when it grows

Hi bro....

[peong]

I don't think doctor wrasse is appropriate to add...

[allantang]

okie.. taken note.. thanks

[girlanimated]

You could try long-nosed hawkfish, if it's a small one. Try not to keep other sygnathids (seahorse relatives) like pipefish with the seahorses because can spread viruses between them.

[Copperband]

Dont think u can add SPS corals either.... the Horsie will cling onto the SPS stressing it.... and SPS cant thrive in the lowered water flow environment required by the Seahorse....

Hmm... IMO also best not to keep seahorse with fish in general... they eat way faster than the SH does....
