Ironically its much easier to find nice macro's your side of the Atlantic. Most of us over here are very jealous of the selection easily available to you. We're starting to get some of the nicer corals but macro and fish wise we are way behind.

I think this is the closest to modern art I've seen in an aquarium design. great arrangement of color and excellent use of space.

May I ask how many seahorses live there ?

Here are a couple of photos of what I have done with my 100 gallon H. erectus tank. Since having the seahorses, I have "grown" to LOVE macroalgae. When I go into the LFS, I always ask if they have any. I have C. racemosa (green grape), Botryocladia pseudodichotoma (red grape), C. prolifera, and C. mexicana.

Since I did not want any types of corals, gorgonians or sponges (I don't want to make the tank any dirtier than it can get with having to feed something else), I bought three pieces of "Living Color" coral. I have 2 yellow branched corals and 1 tall red sponge. Besides the macroalgae garden, the seahorses are really fond of the red sponge. Since I added the red grape macro and the faux corals, my seahorses have gone from a dark, black/grey color to a burnt orange/yellow. They especially color up when hitched to the red sponge.

Here is my 36 gallon bowfront seahorse tank. Its kind of dirty as I just returned from a 15 day motorcycle roadtrip across the country. None of my coral require extra feeding other than filtering whats in the water.

Beautiful vlangel. Love the color contrasts.

How do you keep your horses from damaging your sea whips? I have a small one and it's damaged around the base from my horses hanging on it.

Thank you. The red macros really help give the tank a splash of color.

They do a little damage to the gorgonians but that is not theur favorite hitch. They like the cord from the rio powerhead on the right and the male loves to hitch to the colt coral so the gorgs are not overly irritated.
