They are just loc-line
I forgot where I got them but you can find them where you can find loc-line. I think they are called circle assembly or something like it

here you go:

You might find it cheaper elsewhere but that's the stuff

What size return pump are you using? I have a 60g hexagon and will use the same spray bars as you.

euromomtx · 08/10/2011, 06:43 AM

I have a slightly dialed down Sicce Syncra 5.0 on it (I know that sounds like a lot but it's working out well). I still had that pump. If I would purchase a new pump I would have used a Syncra 4.0 I think

RJT · 08/10/2011, 08:35 AM

Thanks. I will try the 4.0 or similar size pump. I'll let you know how it goes.

RJT · 08/21/2011, 07:04 PM

Hello Euromomtx,

I am getting ready to order the pump. Do you have the standard 1.5in and 1in drilled holes in your tank?

euromomtx · 08/21/2011, 07:07 PM

Yes I have whatever the standard bulkheads are (1" out/3/4" in maybe?)

Update pictures please

Great tank and seahorses. You are very lucky to have a great tank like that.

TandN · 09/29/2011, 12:08 PM

beautiful set up very impressed !!!!

RJT · 09/29/2011, 06:22 PM

Hello euromomtx,

Thank you for your help. My 60g Hexagon is setup and running great. I got the spray bars, but opted for a Deep Blue Titan 5 return pump because it was on sale and had great reviews. This setup works perfectly.

Again, thank you for your help.

webdizzy · 01/10/2012, 12:03 PM

Using the gel sheets is a great idea for the background! What did you use to secure it to the tank?

rcg49 · 01/12/2012, 08:57 PM

Hi! I love your tank! I'm in the process of setting up my own seahorse tank! Did u get that tank with the built in overflow? Can u explain how ur flow works? It looks like you have spray nozzles at the top and the bottom?

euromomtx · 01/13/2012, 09:56 PM

Hi
Thanks and yes, I got a build in overflow. The 60g Marineland Cube comes standard with a center overflow but I had them make me one with a corner overflow instead.
You are also correct on the spray bars. The water is returned from the sump and goes into the tank via the spray bars on top and bottom. That way when the pump comes back on after feeding is over it all gets flushed into suspension and waste is carried down to filtration.

The tank is now almost a year old!

I now have seahorse fry to raise. I wrote more about it on my RC blog. I am so excited. The babies are almost 3 weeks old now

lgray13 · 01/13/2012, 10:40 PM

Your tank is beautiful!!! Where did you find the yellow macro? I am working on a seahorse tank build now, it has been cycling for almost two weeks and I would love to add more than green and red macro.

euromomtx · 01/13/2012, 10:53 PM

I get all of my macro from live-plants.com.
Under most aquarium lighting this macro will turn orange though so just be warned

lgray13 · 01/14/2012, 06:51 AM

Thank you. Once I saw it I remembered looking at it before and then forgot the name of it. It is now in my bookmarks, thanks again.

edandsandy · 01/14/2012, 09:23 AM

thanks for the update.

kendal · 01/22/2012, 05:48 PM

very nice set-up

keh9qd · 01/23/2012, 06:06 PM

Now that your tank is nearly a year old can you give us some updates on the following:

1. Have you lost any seahorses?
2. What is your feeding routine and what are you feeding?
3. What have you learned about keeping seahorses that might help us avoid mistakes?

thanks
