Here are a few pics. It works awsome!! They are eating 2x as much now that they are able to catch it. They tend to swim around more now too.

How old do they have to be before they court? I swear I have 1 pair that is courting. The males do have pouches already.

DANG GIRL!!! You really are an inspiration! I swear, no matter what comes your way, you've always got an incredible back-up plan! (I wonder why I nominated you for MOTM???!!! )

:clapyell: wow cool idea it looks great

Wow .... thanks Sweetpea! I had some help with this idea. I knew I needed to corral them some how, but I didn't really want to take them out of the 75g. They were acclimated to this tank and they like it in there. They get the benefit of 75g of water Plus the sump and the skimmer. Jojo got me inspired with this plan. All of their poop falls thru the holes on the bottom of their corral and the mysis shrimp stays in long enough for them to eat it. What they don't eat falls thru the holes and the snails ans crabs eat it.

This was the best option since the tank is still getting the waste it needs to keep the cycle in balance. I NOW spend more time looking at them and less time hunting for them.

Thanks again to everyone who follows my seahorse threads. I feel like I have finally found my true calling. It's not always easy, but it's always worth it. (with 26 seahorses in 1 house, it better be my calling LOL)

The 6 juvi seahorses are once again free to roam the entire 75g tank. When I put the baster I use to feed them into the water, they all come a swimmin'. Now that they know Baster=Food, I will see how it goes. It's nice to see them in the "big" tank. Now it's back to "where are they?" I pruned out a tone of the prolifera since it had HA growing on it. It's mostly feather caulerpa in there now. I also added 4 dwarf seahares, 6 mexican turbo snails, a queen conch, 10 cerith snails, and a pencil urchin. I had a couple of nice red algaes in there, but the turbo snails decided the red were the food of choice, so they are all but gone!!! When the HA is gone, they will be moved to another tank. Brats!
