JBJ Rimless 30 Gallon Build Thread

[palvyre]

Started the build today. Have a Coral Life 24" VHO T5 fixture. Replaced the 10k lamp with a daylight lamp.

Tank will be macro-algae and sea horses. I will likely add decorate starfish, and possibly a mandarin.

Added live sand and aragonite sand. Have 7 lbs of live rock ready to go in.

Other equipment includes a Eschopps nano skimmer and an aqueon 100 watt heater.

Rocks in. Will be doing decorative macroalgae once fully cycled to add color and habitat for the seahorses.

That is a cool set-up for seahorses.

Anyone have experience with turtle grass? Was thinking about putting that around the front.

Looks awesome!

Not to many folks have any real experience with seahorses. Zef, had a pony tank, so hopefully he can chime in on some info and suggestions.

It grows to slow to be of any real use If you could get the branching form of coralline algae that'd look good

 

[palvyre]

H. Barbouri like it warmer than other seahorses, I am going to keep the tank around 75.
