Good luck with the move. We look forward to the updates. --Ed
In doing research, what species of seahorse did you find would be compatible with reef tank temperatures? Or perhaps I should ask what temperature do you keep your reef at? Hearing that your daughter is interested is great. They are the next generation of reef keepers, after all.
I agree with melev. Most seahorses don't like tank being that warm. Good luck with the move. I moved a 180 and only lost 10 gallons of water. If tank is on second floor, you can do like I did with my 90 gallon and use a garden hose lol. used a few garbage cans and it was pretty easy move. most reef tanks being kept at 78+ degrees that is.
I try and keep my reef around the 79-80 mark. I will be sticking with captive bread tropical species so I know I have to keep the temp between 72-78. My basement is always very cool so I plan on running about 25 feet of pvc horizontally back and forth to cool the water off then direct it back up the 4 feet to the seahorse tank. It will be a slow flow, just enough to keep the water systems the same.
Look at all the new pictures you added. Looks like things are on track now with all your attention to detail.
Yeah, now I am been in IT for 18 years and I only know like two HTML tags. I guess it's time I learned a few more...like how to size pictures.
