The tank looks great. How do you have the Koralia Nano setup? I attempted to use one in a 20 xh but no matter where/how I pointed the powerhead it created too much flow.

Korrine · 01/25/2010, 02:40 PM

looks fabulous!! I like the stars as well. Trying my first one actually.

What do you feed the seahorses?

How do you like that tunze skimmer? Would you have purchased a different one?

howardchaz · 01/25/2010, 04:33 PM

Looks great...any problems with nitrates with the feedings seahorses require...thinking about adding a pair to my jbj 28g HQI but still want to keep some corals...how often do you feed?
