spoon Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 in your opiion reef? would it be feasible/possible to plumb a tall tank into an existing reef setup using same sump and skimmer, but lower flow and suitible decor to keep seahorses/pipefishes?

suphew Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Spoon, it's a piece of cake running two displays off one sump system. Each display will only feed back as mush water as is put into it, so you can just divide the current return pump if it has enough grunt or add a second one.

reef Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 i would also keep the seahorse tank simple. so you can clean it easy as you tend to get wasted food as they are picky eaters, The pipefish need live brine shrimp.

spoon Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
