My wife gave me the green light. I'm going to use some of the parts from my 180 take down that I couldn't sell. I don't have much money so we'll see how this goes. I don't think it will be pretty, at least not all of it, but should be functional and have some pretty life in it.
I have a 29 gallon tank (Thanks SGH360) that I will drill and create a small box overflow. This will be the DT. Mostly macro and sponges.
It will drain to a 50 gallon tote that will have sand, mangroves, ATO, and return pumps.
I will also have a 60 gallon acrylic tank to hold a few corals and a lot of macro algae, this area will be fishless for bugs and such. Just a big fuge. I will drill and create a small box overflow. I will run this tank RDP.
That's what I'm thinking anyway, nothing is set in stone. It will be just an odds and ends setup. Some rock in all tanks. I'll need to get some more Utah rock.
Questions-
What types of seahorses can be happy in a 29g tank? Where can I get them? I see that ORA sells pairs of Lined Seahorses (Hippocampus erectus) that should work. If I buy ORA tank bred, will they have genetic diversity to breed?
Any input is appreciated.
