I'm getting a pair of erectus. I need to work out shipping with the seller. I'm hoping for Wednesday delivery.

What did you do equipment wise? I'm curious about your selection for circulation pumps because I just don't know what to choose for my future 45 gal H. erectus tank.

Can't wait to see your new horses!

I won't be running a powerhead. I have chiller, HOB filter and open ended airline tubing connected to an air pump. The seahorses like the bubbles and they provide gentle flow to keep the water moving.


As a bit of a surprise, seahorses will be in tomorrow!!! I'm not too happy about that since I have work, but I will make it work.

Dragon's breath, flame algae, caulerpa, and red botryocladia are among my favorites.

Thanks everyone! They are doing pretty well so far! They both ate last night when I fed them and this morning. I love the sound of snicking seahorses!! :)
