Re:live rock

Thanks so much! That is very helpful. Your replys are massive! Thankyou for taking the time to write them.:)

I am interested in the larger types of seahorses and some pipefish so soda and hypersaline solution should do it. I will just need to learn more about the good critters which I should put back in… I dont know much about what they look like I’m afraid. I will have a look on the net to see if I can find out more about them.

Also, I am thinking that I may have an aquarium made especially for larger seahorses. I would like a corner unit possibly with a curved front window. I have read that it is important for the tank to be deep. What is the optimum depth for an aquarium for large horses?

I also used to have a filter box with bio balls as my filtration. I have also seen other kinds of sand filters etc. My information on filtering is out of date. So what type of filtration is currently best?

Last question…. some of the seahorses that aquariums gave me to ‘save’ were more aggressive than others. A few that I came across would fight with my pair. (and no they were definately not mating!). They would wrestle. Why is this?

Thanks again,
Karen
