dang that’s an addiction I’m going from two 20s to a 55. I have 22 seahorses but am giving 2 males to one friend that has just females and I’m giving 2 others to another person along with one of my 20gal setups with filter plants n 20gal fresh ocean water that leaves me 18 ,, but I’m sure to get at least another dozen before season is over ( will not keep all of corse just a couple depending on color) curtain is part of my illness
My wife allowed me to go from two 30g fresh water tanks to saltwater, two 90s, two 75's, a 65, two 55s, many 40s and then when I got into seahorses, all the fry setups and artemia rearing cultures plus pod cultures.

Ok just a couple more little things got done this evening. Before going offshore I rinsed and rinsed some crushed coral. Then went 10 miles offshore to get 16 buckets of water. Now on way back to port( 3 more miles) with water, will bring all buckets into wife’s living room to start warming up and filtering. Hopefully late tomorrow night I can start filling my seahorse condominium
Easier to ask forgiveness than permission I once came home on a brand new 22,000 dollar Harley and she flipped. Did time on couch a couple nights then 3rd night was back upstairs and bike in the garageNow THAT is something my wife would NEVER have allowed!!! Basement yes, upstairs NO.
If I did something like that when MY wife was alive still, the BIKE may have made it to the couch, but I would be the one in the garage, PERMANENTLY.
Might be the only reason we lasted together for so long was that I didn't do things without her acceptance. She most certainly "accepted" (not necessarily liked) an awful lot of things for me over the years, probably more than I deserved.
Ok crushed coral and pebbles in tank now to think decoOk time for small update , went shopping for few items and spent more than planed because I want it all lol. Just some fake pebbles, step stool, tank temperature gimmick stick on outside of tank, also couldn’t resist a seahorse temp thing for inside of tank, and I know this is against everything most of website members think a colorful FAKE coral thingy. But I do have access to all the live rock I want in many sizes and shapes it’s gonna be hard to choose what to take ( but I’ll figure it out) well more to come. Can’t wait till grand opening of seahorse condominium
Finally got caught up on your progress! Nice job!!! Cant wait for the wet test run, that's the scariest time for me when setting up new tanks lol.
YIPPIE we have an up and running seahorse condominium SWEET. So happy ( for now) I can’t believe I did it, I never imagined that I’d have a big tank let alone one with lots of live rock. I want to thank everyone who gave me advice, help, encouragement, ect ect. I still have some tweaking to do move some things around maybe add more stuff ( I still have a few things I want to add) but not much else but put seahorses in it. Here r some pics including gimmick I made to pump water. Also center piece is a cast molding of myself I gave to wife on Valentine’s Day when we started dating long agoOk today’s the day I fill er up. Got day off today ( much to windy) and I’m going to pick out live rock, I have large choice of any size or shape rock I want for free,, gonna set up rock and fill up tank.
I also figured out how I’m gonna fill tank. I have a small spare bilge pump,250gph with a flow control nozzle. Should make job easy.
Cant wait
Well my skimmer sucks , my buddy says it’s cheap junk so I’m getting a better one also I got my grow light soaked ( dropped in refugium) and started sparking then burning smell came out of it. So I’m getting new one hopefully today. But it’s 22 degrees outside here and I really don’t wanna go outside( spend 90 percent of my time in the ocean freezing my butt off) so today just wanna stay warm. But I’m LOVING my new tankWell done! What do you have going on in the sump?
