I'm getting a pair of erectus. I need to work out shipping with the seller. I'm hoping for Wednesday delivery.

Very cool. I'll be anxiously awaiting!

What did you do equipment wise? I'm curious about your selection for circulation pumps because I just don't know what to choose for my future 45 gal H. erectus tank.

Can't wait to see your new horses!

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

I won't be running a powerhead. I have chiller, HOB filter and open ended airline tubing connected to an air pump. The seahorses like the bubbles and they provide gentle flow to keep the water moving.


As a bit of a surprise, seahorses will be in tomorrow!!! I'm not too happy about that since I have work, but I will make it work.

What type of macros or seagrass do you like in your tanks?

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

Dragon's breath, flame algae, caulerpa, and red botryocladia are among my favorites.

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

They're here!! They're here!! I'm acclimating them now!! They seem to be in good shape!! Fingers crossed!! I'll post pics tomorrow when I find my camera. I'm not sure how one loses a camera but I did.

Nice!! How big are they right now? Have they eaten anything since arriving?

Very cool Krista, glad they're doing well

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

Thanks everyone! They are doing pretty well so far! They both ate last night when I fed them and this morning. I love the sound of snicking seahorses!! :)
