Hello Pete, I’m interested in purchasing and rearing some of your seahorses.
I have a 600gallon sps dominant mixed reef system which was featured in Reef Keeping magazine November 2011 issue as the tank of the month for Reef Central . com. One tank integrated in the system is a home to several erectus seahorses. I have kept them for over 5 yrs after raising some fry given to me by one of your former customers. The current seahorse abode is a 19 inch high 40 gallon tank which drains and receives water from the main system. It is dedicated to seahorses only I plan to enhance the size dedicated to seahorses as I go. All water parameters are well within your guidelines. There are hitching posts of yellow plastic chain and several artifical corals with just a little live rock ( most of it is elsewhere in the system along with several refugia).There is also some red macro algae in the seahorse tank and they enjoy settling in it.
My name on Reef Central.com is tmz. I was honored to be named a Taam RC member and memeber of th Reefkeeping magazine staff. I have contributed over 18,00O posts and helped hundreds of folks with aqaurium husbandry ,biology and chemistry. I’m looking forward to leaning new things about seahorses as they are one of my favorite animals.
I am however, eager to get a few new animals ,so I hope the process wont delay a purchase.
