Fishfreak2009's 30 Gallon Cube Seahorse Build

[Fishfreak2009]

The various macroalgaes are growing so fast! I did a lot of pruning today. Tried adding some pulsing xenia, but it completely melted within 24 hrs. Also did a 5 gallon water change and a hair algae/cyano harvest today, and fed the seahorses their usual 20 live ghost shrimp.

I'll snap some pics of the whole tank once it clears, but here is a pic of each pony:

Well, we did a thing today. The LFS where we got our pair of ponies still had a male female pair from the same batch ours came from. We stopped by to look today, and ended up bringing them home with us! They've already settled in well, and are chowing on ghost shrimp. Also got some nice pics of the original 2 as well. The new girl is lighter colored than the original, and the male is also a cream color.

They are really neat. I can't wait to add a few more.

Well, my amazing wifey surprised me with another pair of ponies and 2 new sea fans as an early Christmas gift! A huge yellow male and a tan colored female. We also decided the ponies are going to be upgraded into our 65 gallon tank. Very excited to get them into bigger quarters to make room for some more gorgonians, macroalgae, and sponges!

Water in the pics is a bit cloudy since she did a water change shortly before adding them.

Someone figured out people bring the ghost shrimp. Now she begs nonstop whenever she sees a person

Quick photo dump, as you can see, it is a constant battle against the green hair algae, which the single lettuce nudibranch cannot keep up with.

Well this is exciting! I definitely need to get them upgraded into the 65 gallon ASAP so they have more room to do their mating dance!
