Thanks so very much, Pete! So my base suspicions were correct: dastardly caulerpa, even though I was thinning regularly about once a month, something caused it to go wonky. No more in the tank now and never again! When I ordered the seahorses from Ocean Rider I also ordered Ogo and Sea Lettuce for the refugium and it is doing well. I use reverse lighting.
Prior to my message to you, I scoured the forum, sent my husband to the LFS (twice!) and now have two airstones and a polyfilter in place. The dips I used were also from your advice on the forum.
The ladies are still acting normal. I would like to replace their mates. Do you think 30-60 days would be appropriate?
Thank you again… you’re a godsend to seahorse lovers. And I’m still waiting, sort of patiently, for your book!
