    Juvi Blueline Angel (C.septentrionalis )

    If no one takes the adult blueline from seascape by next Thursday, I might have to swoop it up. Yours looks awesome Nick!

    Juvi Blueline Angel (C.septentrionalis )

    Awesome nick, that's how mine started to look too. Unfortunately, whatever was wrong with it I could never get to go away and the fish just dissappeared one day. Although I will say for your sake that my regal never bothered it until its stripes started coming in, then the regal would...

    2.5 gallon dwarf seahorse tank

    Just ordered this for the tank. Hopefully it'll arrive in time to save the macros and hopefully the fern caulerpa doesn't out compete! RGB Panorama Pro LED Module - Panorama Modules - Aquarium LED Lights

    Tragedy: I've killed them all

    Rtn is rapid tissue necrosis. I forget the details, but the flesh of the coral deteriorates very fast killing the coral usually within a couple of hours to a day. There's also stn in which the coral deteriorates at a much slower pace and is sometimes easier to treat to save the coral.

    2.5 gallon dwarf seahorse tank

    The black sand I used in my 12g had some kind of metal in it ad would stick to my magnet cleaner and scratch the crap out of my glass. I've never owned dwarves before.

    2.5 gallon dwarf seahorse tank

    I'm finally getting some diatoms I believe. I threw in some macro about a week ago when there was still some ammonia in the tank. I'm seeing if the lights are strong enough for them. I don't think some of them are going to make it, but we'll see. Here's some pics. I don't know if I like the...

    Aside from your ph problem, how's your little angel doing?

    Tragedy: I've killed them all

    I know how you feel. I believe something similar happened to my systems when I moved them across the room 6 ft. Didn't have enough water for the move so things went kind of bad. Still dealing with it and it's almost been two months. I hope your duncans make it. Any pics of them?

    2.5 gallon dwarf seahorse tank

    It's cooled down since I put a little fan on it. It was holding steady for the past week between 73 and 75, but this morning was at 69. I think it's because it cooled off outside quite a bit and my ac was still on. I'll have to see how the transition of summer to fall will be on this little...

    2.5 gallon dwarf seahorse tank

    So do you think perhaps taking the rock pile out and just having some macros and a gorg would be better? If not, how would I go about keeping this tank running cool?

    2.5 gallon dwarf seahorse tank

    I just got back home with a new pump, mini jet 404, and snapped a few pics of the different flow coming out of them. The baffles combined with the new pump, which has a built in flow control, is perfect with a little bit of surface agitation and no more sand dunes. I'd like to hear from someone...

    2.5 gallon dwarf seahorse tank

    Thanks, it's my first DIY. I'm pretty proud of it. The temp was 75.6 when I left at 9:30, starting temp was at 73 at 7:45. Hoping it'll stay under 77, but it's hard to say.

    Nick, I'm sorry to hear yours isn't accepting frozen. I don't know if it was because I started the fish off with my regal and green chromis that it started eating right away or not, but it eats with gusto. It doesn't seem to like the frozen mussel that the regal eats now however. It does have a...

    Sunset Monti Pictures?

    Wow, that's awesome!

    2.5 gallon dwarf seahorse tank

    Just put water in it this morning. I'm going to see what the temp reaches when I get home tonight then decide what to do if it's too high. It's already digging a hole in the sand at the far end so I know I'll have to slow down the flow. Tomorrow I'll try decapsulating brine shrimp eggs.

    2.5 gallon dwarf seahorse tank

    Thanks TJL, I'll have to order some of that. Not too much room so we'll see what I can do.

    2.5 gallon dwarf seahorse tank

    Thanks krish and rainydave, I can't wait to see the ponies either. I gotta level up my bbs decapping and hatching first. I can hatch eggs fine, but decapping is new to me. Once that's mastered and the tank is mice and cycled, then I'll order some zots.

    2.5 gallon dwarf seahorse tank

    The next step after the walls was painting the outside. I used Rustoleum with a texture to it, then gave it a flat clear coat made by Krylon. The strip on the side is to see the water level and make sure everything is going ok back there, thanks to Denverbc29 for that one too With the...
