VERY nice! Grace wants a "pony corral" also. I like the pipe fish more myself. Don't really know why! We will be watching your post to see how you progress. Keep us all posted and again that is a good looking setup. Thanks for the pics.

Nice tank. Hey Nick are your pipefish eating? If so, what? I got one about a week ago and have yet to see him eat anything. He was moving alot more the first few days and now just kinda lays there. Like he's on his way out. Im kinda worried. Ive tried live brine, frozen rotifers and cyclop-eze, and so far nothin...any tips?

Ah man I'm pretty new at it my self, I've seen the blue stripe eat frozen I got him from fish4u.... and I took Aquatica's word on the banded eating frozen but I haven't seen it eat anything myself yet (They said they had it for a week or more and it had been eating every day) but it has not even been in my tank for over 24 hours yet, and I haven't tried to feed the tank yet sense adding him... and its pretty much the same story on the seahorses(got them 12 hours ago) so I'll update on how they feed after today... however I have seen the blue stripe eat frozen mysis both at the pet store and in my tank (hes been in there for a few days now) So far the only thing I've done for the new fish (in the last day) was added vitamin c to the water...

Hey Nick-- I too am using the RSM 34 as my seahorse tank, but did not change out the powerheads. I shoot one down so that it hits rock at the bottom and one up at the surface, leaving both turned on. This has been working fine for me, and for them, but wondered if you really noticed a big difference...... (Mine has been up and going for about five months now...)

Maybe you could just run one powerhead... That would force the GPH turnover down.....
