I have a 120 gal I have my seahorses in going for a year now. It houses 4 H. Erectus, 2 spotted mandarins and a couple peppermint shrimp and turbo snails, oh I almost forgot 2 scarlet reef hermits. I’m wanting to increase the number of ponies but until I have the qt tank cycled that’s a no go.
I now nave a 75 gal reef tank started. It’s cycled and has a 2 additions a Kenya tree and a beautiful Sherman? Anemone. 2 peppermints, numerous turbos ( population explosion, note to self, get another pair of mandarins) and 3 clowns.
I kept the seahorses alive through rolling blackouts through the “Snovid” episode here in Texas. Although I never would have guessed “rolling” blackouts were 8 to 9 hrs without power and 30 mins on. I enlisted the help of our trusty farm tractor idling along connected to the battery on our camper with a cord run into the house to the tank. Hey don’t judge lol it worked kept the tank above 65 degrees. Rotated between heater and filter and tanks.

I have a question? I have T5 I think it’s called lights with actinic bulbs and super purple bulbs. Besides the anemone, clowns, pencil urchin and orange linckia starfish what else can I have?
