I wish seahorses can be kept in mixed reef sumps, I'd have a few. I'm afraid of bacteria though.

Hi Krista, my name is Dawn and I am starting a seahorse build. I read thru your thread and appreciate someone who has kept seahorses awhile now. Are you in the Pocano area? My sister in law lives in Saylorsburg, PA. I'm thinking when I am ready for ponies maybe we can drive out to see them and bring seahorses home with us. If I have them in a styrafoam box would they be OK for a 5 hour drive?

Hi Dawn!!
I'm in Blackwood, NJ just outside of Philly and about 2-3 hours from the Poconos. I highly recommend Ultra Corals for their seahorses. They are captive bred locally and Steve gets a steady stock in. It is worth the drive. The seahorses would be fine in the styrofoam box for the drive. I have had them shipped and they did fine for much longer in their styrofoam box. Good luck with your journey into seahorses.

Hi Dawn!!
Thanks Krista for getting back to me. I think I will definitely keep them in mind when I am ready for the seahorses. I plan to build my tank and will seed it with pods but probably won't put seahorses in it until September. I have a 10 day trip so I don't want to leave my seahorses so I will get them after the trip.

So, I have made the decision to break the 30 gallon, half moon seahorse tank down. I am moving in just over a month and moving the tank is going to be a giant pain.
It just gives me the perfect time to upgrade the seahorses to a standard 40 gallon!!!!

My wife would love a tank with seahorses like this.

So where will the ponies be until your new build?

I will eventually start a thread
No. I usually go with seahorses that I can find captive bred locally and it seems I can only find h. erectus.
DO IT!!!

They are going to be in the 30 gallon half moon.

O, will you have everything ready to move them into a new home when you move?

I will. I am going to set the tank up and get it cycled before moving the seahorses over. I will be using cured rock and some live sand from my current setup. I am lucky to be able to have some wiggle room with moving the tank over.

So am I!! I have the 40 gallon tank just waiting to be setup!! June 9th can't come fast enough. I may clean up the tank this week or next week and spray paint the back.
