Hey! A little group of newbies! I started mine up about two months ago now and it is a seahorse species tank. I currently have one seahorse and am looking for a couple of friends for him... It has been mostly fun so far, one unfortunate experience early on, but otherwise it has been great! I love my seahorse and can't wait to find a couple more...

We have two tanks. One 34 gal (Red Sea 130) and a 24 gal Nano Cube. The nano is being used as a quaratine tank (QT) for a couple of fish that are going into the 34 gal once I know everyone is ok. (3 weeks in QT)
We were so excited to watch the live rock (LR).....its really exciting!!

I think we are going to have to build a larger tank in the basement as the smaller tanks are cool, but this hobby is.... I suppose like being on Heroin. It takes up all your time and money and you are hooked!! LOL!

I have not checked mine with a flashlight, sounds fun though! I might have to try it tonight. I have some bristleworms and pods that scurry around during the day as well!
I have checked my ammonia/nitrite/nitrate levels every other day since I started it up. Mine ran for about a month before I got my seahorses (earlier than I'd have liked, but the seahorses were on a timeline) and everything worked out okay. Lots of checking and staying on top of the levels though... I am pretty much out of the woods now as far as a fear of 'new tank syndrome' so that is comforting.
