Im not aware that this has been done before, and ive noticed quite a few new seahorse keepers knocking about UR, so as the title says, show us your seahorse tank.

Here is mine, (tank stats in my signature) a month ago which is the most up to date i have (taken on my mates camera, for some reason the image looks quite dark)

Its still work in progress, and ive added a bit more LR and algae since it was taken so ill try and get an upto date pic this afternoon, once ive cleaned the tank glass:) (my darling 18 month old son has taken to "kissing" the fish, well actually the tank glass :rolleyes: and i thought little finger prints were annoying)

joanna what red seaweed are you talking about the red grape algae or the red sheet/ribbon like seaweed?

denise what type of algae is the tall green one in the center of your tank, that looks like a very tall type of racemosa,or green grape algae? mine only seem to grow about 3-4 inch tall then spreads width ways
