thanks guys i had a feeling it may be simple like that. ive kept native seahorses before(when i was a kid an didnt even know what a skimmer was!) im fascinated by them and would look to breed them as id have more patience raising fry now
im not looking at it in the near future as i need to get my reef cube sorted better but possibly at the end of next year as funds permit i was thinking of also plumbing a another tank in to keep a predatory fish like some kind of angler fish as well and using t5s also to use the predator tank as frag tank to help fellow reefers out and grow on some frags
