Hi all!
I'm still planning my pony tank. I have to wait until August to complete my build, but I have pretty much picked out everything I want. I just have a question. I want to put gorgonians in my tank and I understand that they do okay with ponies. Are there any particular ones I should stay away from? Also, I've found someplace to buy bigger specimens so that the ponies can begin using them as hitching posts sooner (if that isn't a problem?). KPaquatics.com. Does anyone have any experience with them? They seem like a great place, but I think I'll need to quarantine before putting the gorgonians in the tank. Am I right, or do I just check them for pests and put them in the main tank? My husband just bought me a two-sided quarantine/copepod-amphipod tank for mother's day, so I'll have somewhere to do it, I just don't know if it's going to be necessary, so I thought I'd ask here.
I also hope to put a leather or two in the tank. Is there anything special I need to know about these?
Thanks for all the help, everyone. Having such a welcoming place to ask questions is great.
