I switched because I moved the tank to a different room and wanted a brighter look to the tank. I like the look of both colors now that I've lived with both.

I had black sand for many years with no problems. The whitish sand I have now gets in the mag float just as much if I get too low.

Just place it on the side

I hope you see this in time! I would love a piece of it. I'll be at the pick up closer to 2:30.

Awesome! I love the pictures. They are so cute.

Welcome to the group

My thoughts exactly! I'm having Jack make another one a teeny bit wider and a wrap-around hitch. After seeing how great this one is, I think the new one will be perfect. Of course some people have a small tank and might want the simpler, smaller one. Now I just need to get a picture of all seahorses eating at it at the same time

Nice looking tanks. Great job on the aquascaping! I think you're going to really like the leds, I love mine.

Thanks for the nice responses everyone. I can't believe it took me so many years to finally hunt down a custom acrylic source and get one!

Yeah, the mysis flying out is such a huge pain. The seahorses can sure be lazy sometimes about swimming after their food. I'd frequently find them sitting at the empty bowl wanting more because the mysis all blew out or was pushed out. I'm pretty sure what keeps the mysis in is the depth of the feeder. I don't lose any mysis even when the small male dives right in the bowl like he loves to do. It makes feeding so much cleaner!

I got it from AquaSD a while back. They called it "cool watermelon lobo".

Lol, yes a feeding trough is a better name These are for Jack to make and sell, I just wanted the one. He sure did a great job and fast too!

After 4 years I finally had a custom acrylic seahorse dish made. I've been keeping my eyes open for one for all this time on various sites and finally asked Jack from Mr. Cob's Wet Acrylic. I got it Wed night and I love it!! Jack does the best acrylic work I've seen. I have a rubble box from him as well. I just wanted to share some pictures of it. The bowl I had been using all along worked fine, except I had to unplug all pumps to use it or all the mysis would just blow out. Also, the seahorses couldn't really hold on to the sides of the bowl and they'd just slide into it and that would push the mysis out. This dish allows me to keep all the pumps on and the horses have a hitch, and I don't lose any mysis. I haven't decided yet exactly where I want to place it. In the pics you can see how first I put the tube in the bowl, then put the chunk of frozen mysis in the tube to melt and sink. When all the mysis is in the bowl I can slowly pull the tube out and here come the seahorses to feast!

What brand is it?

PM vwmike he always has a bunch and he lives right near me down south. That's where I originally got mine from. I don't have any frags right now.

Watermelon lobo colony for sale. 5 large heads and 2 baby heads. Great eater. Asking $40

ORA ones are advertised as eating pellets. That's really awesome yours does!

I'll be able to make it.

Lookin good! That's a beautiful rbta.

No housing advice here, just want to say welcome! Good luck with everything!

Nice! I'm glad they're growing for you.

Mine does that all the time. I just unplug and plug back right back in and repeat until it's going the right way. I only plug mine in one way, so it's not a polarity thing in my experience.

Wow, that is gorgeous! I'm sure it's even better in person.
