Sea Horse Share

Sorry Foselone I had logged off. She's 6 and she's the reason we started with fish tanks again after many years. She has what she calls her tank (even though I have to do all the work) it's a 30g. Eclipse. Right now it has a coral beauty, a butterfly and a mated pair of B&W OCC's that I was told came from Morgman

Sounds nice, post some pix.

I'll take some later. I was going to ask, I was told the lighting that the eclipse comes with is not sufficient for corals. What lighting do you recommend?

 

[JOSE CASAS]

What ligting does it come with? What corals are you planning on keeping?

 

[pattibird1]

it comes with a ballast with 2 Lamp 24" (T8-18watt). What corals to keep? Suggestions?

 

[JOSE CASAS]

What is the color of the lamp? I meant what corals do you plan on keeping so I can suggest the lamp to the corals.

Do they turn black when stressed?

I don't think so, I've seen black sea horses before, But I don't know if they are born black, or turn black.

 

[pattibird1]

The lamps are white. I think I should start with the easiest coral to keep and hardest to kill (lol) since They would be my first.

and sorry for the thread high jack.

Nice, I always thought sea horses had to be in a separate tank. What's the temp. on your tank?

Right now it's 81.5 degrees, it goes down to 79 degrees.

ok just trying to get as much information before I spend money on the horses.

How do I add pics?

 

[jessesoto33]

A lot of people think that they need their own tank, but thats not true, and I only feed them once a day, and I read that they need to be feed 3 times a day, not true, and that they have to be in cold water, not true either!!!

 

[pattibird1]

really I was told they need warmer water.

 

[JOSE CASAS]

I would put them by them self. In a tall tank and very low flow.
