And love the video and music! Love me some Luke Bryant!
How are the colors holding up with the ponies? I see one is white now? |

Just wanted to say that is a wonderful tank and an inspiration!
What is the name of that spiral coral and where did you buy it? I was wondering what the best way to communicate with Southwatch was...I've had no success sending them a message through the form on their website, and their number goes straight to voicemail. I wonder if they're on vacation..? |

Thank you! Quote:
The spiral wire corals are in the family of black corals and their scientific name is Cirrhipathes spiralis. I've seen them called spiral wires, spiral wire corals, and even spiral gorgonians although they are not gorgonians. They're a bit uncommon, so they're not easy to find but I have a store near me that gets some in from their wholesaler pretty frequently. I'd suggest talking to your local stores to see if they can order one from you from their supplier if you're interested. I haven't seen them sold online much except once in a blue moon on ebay. Southwatch is definitely not the best at answering their email or the contact form through their site. I had no problem reaching them by phone though and that's always how I contact them. They must be on vacation because they normally answer their phone or call you back by the next day at the latest. Its a small family type business, so they were probably closed for the holidays. I'd say keep trying to reach them by phone. Thank you! |

That's good t know bout the colors! I'm in the process of getting everything together for this build. Pipefish will be in the tank for sure and maybe one other kind of fish. All fish will be treated no matter what in the safety of the ponies

My game plan is to get the ocean rider pipes to train my other pipes. Once that happens they will be treated with prazipro.
Following that I plan to do a paragaurd dip on them before intro to the tank. I might just stick with the pipe only tank...still a debate in the household |

Great video and I love the music. Amazing and inspirational tank. Once my baby grows up a bit, I will be doing something similar.

Beautiful as always and nice growth!
Happy with the new lights? How would you rate them vs previous PCs for your setup?

Your tank is gorgeous and bright. I have two black seahorses in a 37 tank that are experts in hiding in their macroalgae. |

Thank you! I was definitely trying for bright colors in this tank! Seahorses sure can be hard to find when they're holding still. Sounds like you must have lots of macroalgae for them to hide in. I have some macroalgae, but I keep it trimmed back because I'd rather the tank be dominated by the gorgonians, spirals, sponges, and other corals. |
