Small seahorse build i have going

[Msislo]

This is my seahorse reef tank I currently have going, it's nothing fancy by any means but a work in progress and the horses seem to love it so far. I have only had them for little over a month now. I'm currently working on my cultures and a new fuge setup just waiting on a few things to show up in the mail since the closest lfs is nearly 2hrs from my location that is worth going to.
My mustang pair is hiding in the back corner they didnt want any snap shots today, but here's one from a few days ago before I removed the last of the artificial decorations I had in the tank.

Very cool! Can you explain the different substrates to me?

I'm replacing it in a few days wanted the new sand to build up some bacteria after cleaning it. I originally wasn't concerned about the rock until I had to start cleaning it more consistently my cleaner crew isn't cutting it and the change out will make things a lot better and look more natural.

Hello,

Wicked cool. Love specialty tanks, @Paulie069 is the man on seahorses. How are things going with yours? Any updates?

Msislo, good luck with your ponies brother, it’s awesome to have seahorses as they are so majestic and calming to the soul. I myself have only 8 ponies at the moment, was up to 34 at one point,, but I give a lot away to any reefers that want them and know how to care for them,, mine are H. Erectus, from northern Atlantic Ocean here in Jersey, I catch ALL my seahorses myself, they always bring a smile to my face

The sand makes it look so much better and its alot easier to take care of so far. Now I just need to get my corals back in and hopefully everything will start growing well and my horses will love it.

I also got a pair of dwarf horses that just recently had 5 fry I was expecting more but I'm happy with them now if I can keep them all alive.

Very nice, just remember no types of stinging corals, everything soft n seahorse friendly, I myself went with finger leathers, lots different color mushrooms, cabbage, zoas, Kenya tree,gorgonions n safe fish,, yes you can mix ponies with fish
