Agreed with everyone else: really, really great looking tank (and horses too!).
I've found that leaving the lights off for a day kills off a lot of cyanobacteria. Only I'm willing to bet that the coloration isn't cyano (I've had plenty of outbreaks in my pre-skimmer days). It's brighter than what I've seen, and doesn't look thick enough to me. Plus, cyano usually appears highest in the tank first. The fact that it's only on the horses and nowhere else leads me to believe that it isn't the bad stuff. Take that with a grain of salt, though. I have ZERO experience with seahorses (for now). |

yes, fish can live just fine in greenwater, which I have found out now my tank did a crazy algae outbreak, and my fish are doing fine in greenwater.
just make sure to keep up the oxygen excange. Maybe people can do this for ill fish that can eat rots??? I don't know what would though, other than tiny fish... ok, back to the regularily scheduled topic!

Well, they had their 3rd brood... exactly 2 weeks from the date of the 2nd brood of fry.
Except this time... ONE HUGE CRUNCH and He popped out close to 200 babies. This was taken under the actinics this past Friday morning.
