My latest project tank.

[ChrisKey]

I had to do this one to appease the wife. She has wanted seahorses since I got into saltwater and I finally set her up a Christmas present.

29g tank with 20g sump. ~40 gallons of water. I don't have room for an ATO reservoir so I made a new section in the sump for the fresh water.

Right now I just have 4 unsexed Erectus seahorses, Yashi Goby with Red Snapping Pistol Shrimp, 2 Peppermint Shrimp.

This will be a planted tank with softies.

Ok, that accounts for one of the 20H tanks sought after for the mystery project.

Are you hoping to breed the seahorses?

What kind of light is it, and do you have a plan for keeping little fingers (and Scuba Steve) out of the sump?

(Reason I ask is I may need to copy your stand for our 37 (freshwater) the Marineland hood / LED fixture on which crapped out due to condensation.)

Almost forgot...looks good and a nice gift.

No mark, that 20H was already a sump I had in the garage. I plan to finish the stand with some skin like I did the big one. Then I may make a canopy but I have decided.

The light is just a dual T5 light for now but I may swap it for one of my 120w led lights or an LED Pendant light. I haven't decided yet.

Looks good so far. Would this happen to be the 29g tank I gave you? If so, glad to see it put to good use!

 

[ChrisKey]

It isn't that exact same tank. I am going to use that one for a clownfish grow out tank.

Looks really good Chris. My wife is the same about wanting sea ponies. She keeps telling me we have the perfect tank for them that were not using, but I don't want the extra work involved with them. Still they are real cool along with your setup.

My wife says she will have to look at it! I want one of those jellyfish tanks they have at the TN aquarium. But their filtration system is massive.
