ROFLMAO thats horrible! im really liking the progress even though this hasnt been comented upon in 5 days. im so jealous i gotta hit lilfishie up sometime, trying to get some corals!
Yes...That is horrible, although I am LMAO too. I'm sorry, its funny. It just keeps expanding. You should be able to cut it out. I dont think it will stick to the glass although I'm not entirely sure about that. You need a slightly bigger tank for those little guys anyway. You will wish you went bigger anyway. 10 gal would be a good size. Give you some room for a coulpe pieces of gorgonian for the little guys to hang on to.teddyzaper said:
Yeah, Im just gonna make the 2.5 a planted FW tank, tiny tiny, prolly no fish. But even I crack up looking at the pictures now lol
I dont even know how I would fit equipment in there, got it all hollowed out though, doesnt look half bad, jus gotta scrape the crap off the front of the glass.

sounds great! although watch out, dont add fish to fast. oh and btw, my friend bought that clown that you were adoring :twisted: sorry lol. anyways, for the 2.5 i bet you could pull off a nice little shrimp mayhem garden or a TINY betta tank.... lil to small for a betta though. add some shrimp and maybe a few minor pencilfish (smallest american fish less then 1 inch) and it would look awsome!
WHATTT? Well atleast he got a good home. I used the money to buy a piece of LR from lorrie thats bigger then my head lol, way better buy.
The tanks been running prolly 3 weeks, with cycled LR and sand, already Diatom bloomed, ammonias at zero.
Yeah I wouldnt put a ish in the 2.5 WAYYYY to small, ill look into pencilfish, never heard of em. Sent you a pm to

The smaller the tank the more difficullt it is to keep anything, Seahorses From what I hear are extremely sensitive as well.. Well only being 2.5 gallons that does not leave alot of room for error...lars on said:
Looks F ' N Sweet though
[/quote]Yow, I totally called off my seahorsies, to expensive and really annoying feeding schedule. Maybe later, or get a bigger h.erectus for the 20[/quote]
Different horses, same care level. They are difficult. They can not take a change in water parameters or quality. They are all very fragile.
Not to discourage you though.
I gave it a try. I had a mated pair for about 6 months. Then I had an issue with my new saltwater mix having a high ammonia level and didnt realize it and lost both of them. Then with the high ammonia came a lot of bad algae. I took everything out of that tank, cleaned it up and went back to fish. Being gone 13 hours a day, I could not care for seahorses they way they need to be cared for. I loved these guys. Really upsetting to loose them.
