OK, I LOVE my 6 new seahorses from Draco Marine. I wouldn't trade them for anything. But there is a problem. They are WAY WAY too tiny for the 75g they are in. It takes me over 40 mins. just to locate all 6 of them to target feed them 3x a day. (about 3 hrs. a day just to feed them) They are so small they are dwarfed in this tank. It also doesn't help that the entire bottom of this tank is covered with macros. They are so small they wiggle into the macros and I can't see them. To make it worse, most of them have turned either yellow or green. The EXACT color of the macros. Prolifera green I call it.

They way I see it I have 2 options.

1) Move them to a 10g and train them to a feeding station and hope they grow a little in the process. I can't train them to a feeding station in the huge 75g. They won't follow the baster that far.

2) Section off part of the 75g and keep them in the smaller part of the tank. I do have the egg crate material, but they are small enough to wiggle thru the small squares. So I don't think that will work very well. I think I would have to go buy a sheet of plexiglass / acrylic and drill a few hundred holes in it for circulation. The best benefit of the sectioning off part of the 75g is that they still have the huge water volume and the sump with the skimmer.

The 10g would be the easiest to do. I would add a HOB filter to the 10g for circulation and filteration. Plus I would add some of the macros they seem to love so much.

I would love to get this completed by tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for any help. If anyone has a better idea, feel free to post it.
