I’m transforming my waterbox cube 20 into a dwarf seahorse tank. I’ve noticed, on professional builds, there’s usually a really nice thing that replaces the return jets for something calm and more natural.

Is anyone aware of options for return jets and seahorses? Sites? Links?

You want subtle water flow and best with low setting on flow pump or smaller return pump. They are very slow swimmers and cannot fight currents and often wait for food to come to them. Spoon feed and as food is consumed, you can add a little more. They are incapable of chewing foods or even opening their mouths, so fine foods such as rotifiers, baby and adult brine shrimp, copepods, fish eggs, zooplankton are best. Live will be your best sucess with them eating.
