reeftanker84 · Oct 2, 2013

well its been months since ive been on,so just an update,i picked up a 14g biocube last week and put 20lbs black live sand and 12 lbs of fresh live rock fully cycled as well as adding aged filter floss from my already existing 75g to boost the bacteria and faster cycle time

Ooooo. New tank! Stocking plans? Please let it be something cool....

reeftanker84 · Oct 2, 2013

well thinking seahorses and some small corals,going to be alot of color contrast,will be getting some corals either tomarrow or friday

SarahSmile · Oct 2, 2013

Seahorses would be fun. Hard to keep thou. Such a bummer.

AnthonyTheNewbie · Oct 2, 2013

Get dwarfs. Other then that, love the tank! I have the 29g one :). How many GPH is the pump for the 14? Seahorses don't like a lot of flow

reeftanker84 · Oct 3, 2013

not sure how much flow but sure its around 100 gph,was only going to get dwarves everything else is to big,i been figuring out how to change the flow by diverting it in a couple dif directions by puting something in the output,not sure yet i got time to play with it though

SarahSmile · Oct 3, 2013

Not sure how much the corals would like the lesser flow though. Lots to think about.

reeftanker84 · Oct 3, 2013

well was thinking of diverting the flow more then reducing it if i can,dont have any ponys yet so i still have time to mess around with it for the time being

AnthonyTheNewbie · Oct 4, 2013

Mushrooms and Photo Gorgs would do great. Sponges too! :)

reeftanker84 · Oct 4, 2013

well getting a couple plate corals and some shrooms to go in there today,ill have to post pics if everything goes well today

reeftanker84 · Oct 4, 2013

AnthonyTheNewbie · Oct 4, 2013

reeftanker84 · Oct 4, 2013

SarahSmile · Oct 5, 2013

reeftanker84 · Oct 9, 2013

well got some gorgs,some sea ponys for the 14 and some gold torch and gold frogspawn for the 75g

Very nice. Those ponys are awesome looking.

AnthonyTheNewbie · Oct 13, 2013

Are they the dwarf ones? If so, are they eating frozen? If not, what are you feeding them? My buddy has like 30 of them that he sells for 10$ a piece, and if there is a good food substitute besides live brine shrimp, I'd pick some up!

I'm sorry about your seahorses. Maybe you can put the mantis out of your tank. You could try trap it.
