Crap now I want to do seahorses again... LOL

Reidi is a great first choice. It was my first seahorse, got me into this hobby. I was able to keep him for 8 years. This is unpopular but I would not get a seahorse from an LFS unless the LFS had a separate system setup for seahorses and was keeping them below 73F. It's a black or white thing...

Do you have a species in mind? Biota is currently breeding them, but have none available at the moment. It might be worth asking them on their customer service chat. I think Alyssa is still taking a break from breeding, although I am not certain. Your best bet might be to join the Seahorse...

Mainly because I have steps going into the house. I can't just roll a Brute up to my tank, or even within 50 feet of it. 50 feet of the ATO hose is pretty manageable in comparison to 50 feet of a 3/4 hose. Not to different, just trying to make it easy as I can, especially if I end up needing...

BRS states it can handle 20 feet of head pressure in their video on it. I have never heard of a continuous duty pump. I will look it up. Thanks!

Stay with me for a minute. I have an extra of the newer Tunze Osmolator's, the ATO unit. I am trying to avoid lifting water jugs for water changes (shoulder). Is there any reason why I can not use this unit to refill water from my new SW bin directly to my tank, and have it automated when it...

If you end up going, any chance you can grab one for me?

I'd be interested in a good amount of the larger sinularia if you part out or if the person buying it wants to sell some of it off.

If anyone from the Long Beach area heads up to pick one up let me know and we can work something out :D

If the new tank is cycled and you are moving the rocks from your old tank, your life will be pretty easy. If you want to be extra careful after the 100g tank is cycled start doing a 5-10g water change on your 30g a day replacing the water from the 30g with water from the 100g. Then clean water...

Thank you, I have two not working and I didn't even know this existed.

Eheim, Ebo Jaeger, Reef Octopus seem to all last forever. I would agree with Tunze as well. I still have a maxi jet 1200 from 2000 that has been running since 2000. Also a Tom's aqualifter pump that is still bullet proof. No wonder both of those companies went out.

Some amazing pieces in there!!!!!!!!!!! WOW

Looks like a great little slice of ocean paradise. Enjoy!

Fellow Long Beach guy. Always handy to have a few reefing buddies for things you never know. I do have some extra gear if you are still in the building shopping mode.
