i hope you fully c leaned that rock if your putting dwarfs in there. You do realize dwarf seahorses are extremely hard to keep they require bbs at every feeding.

Maybe a get a macro in there for them to hitch off of but i like the tank so far.

the green stuff on the rock is some caluprea (sp) and red kelp on rock as well as some other ...dont no how to spell, but its all hydroid free. And ive done research for about 6months now and i have a bio cube and i thought i would get a tank for my mom for mothers day. I no about the bbs hatching and ive got it already figured out.

I'd definitely add more places for them to grab onto, even plastic plants until the macroalgae have a chance to settle in and take off. Then again, perhaps by the time the tank is ready for the SH you will have quite the garden growing.

One thought, be sure to lay out the rock in an open pattern to maximize water flow. In a dwarf SH environment water flow is usually very slow and gentle. The rock will further reduce water flow and could create a perfect environment for cyanobacteria or other unwanted algae nuisances. Keep the rockwork open to avoid having stagnant zones in the tank.
