My lovely little seahorse, I have 3, all about 7 months with me. They have done fantastic in a 15 gallon namo but I felt they were outgrowing it so I have moved them to a red sea 170 (35 gal I believe with 15gallon sump) they did ok the first week but then this started. They have been hanging at the bottom and this morning breathing fast, they also didn't take any mysis. They seem sluggish from their norm.
The new tank cycled for 1.5 months with live sand and dry rock. It is also set up with large cheato in sump because seahorses are messy and I wanted to keep parameters good.
I tested again this am with no big changes from yest checks.
Nitrate 2.4
Phos 0.08
Ph 8.5
Alk 9.8
Salt 35 or 1.026
Temp 76.6
The tank has no stinging corals but does have a couple large toadstool and so.e zoas and Duncan's, mostly it is large decorative macroalgeas in the display and cheato in sump. They only fish with them are 4 small cardinals. There are snails and hermits. Nothing else
I do not know what is happening, everything seems fine. I was worried maybe not enough o2 so I added a air Stone this am as well.
