What temp is the tank running at?

Also, I would add a feeding station to help control food waste. Four seahorses in that size tank can create water quality issues. Seahorses waste a lot food while they are eating. Mine seem to be really selective with what pieces of mysis they eat.

Don't be surprised if the one seahorse with the cirri (spikes) loses them. The seahorses seem to absorb them in captivity.

Good luck with them! :)
 
the tank stays at 74.3, I was looking at feeding stations but when I got these I couldnt beleve how active they are, they are all over the tank and dont miss much. I am home 99% of the time so I feed them a little bit all day long. I just cant belive how much these things poop lol

I am going to have to pick up a couple reactors, one for carbon and one for phosban.

also how long does it take for the one with cirri to lose them? these were all tb about an hr away from me this was the only one they had with them
