Dawn's 56g memorial seahorse tank!

[I'm a natural blue]

What a great idea using those pegs! Do any young seahorses hitch to the pegs and hide under the rock.

Thank you! All the rock work is drilled and pegged together actually. Yes, occassionally Abbie will. Clyde tries but he is a bit too big.

The ponies must like a clean tank because there has been lots of horse play today!

I went to a local club meeting at a lfs and came home with 3 peppermint shrimp, 2 margarita snails, 1 blue legged hermit and a yellow frilly sponge.

Yes, we missed you. There was lots of discussion on what we want the club meetings to look like.

All 3 ponies are hanging out right near where I released the peppermint shrimp. Hey, PEPPERMINT SHRIMP ARE FRIENDS, NOT FOOD!!!

Here is a video of the ponies. I added sand to the tank a few weeks ago. I believe a bb is cleaner but I really missed the natural look of sand.

This is a cool pic with the side glass reflecting Delilah's image and a gorgonian.

I like the texture of the cheato, and the fuzzy gorg. Also the deep red of the red grape caulerpa contrasting with the lush green of the feather caulerpa is nice.

Looks great, Dawn! Did you remove the ponies to add the sand?

No, but I did rinse the sand before adding it. I also hung an ammonia badge in case the side of the rock that was holding the sand back had die off. It never registered any ammonia so I guess my biofilter was able to handle it. Everything went very smoothly. Now I just need to be diligent to do the extra husbandry since I added sand.
