HAHA, I don't know who are you guess... never mind~

I have one 44" tank, one 26" tank and one 20" bb tank.

I got 2 times bb on February. However, my bb tank is bad setup.The temp is not stayable, the bb die within 2 days

Now I tune the air more powerful and let the temp more stayable, hope the bb can live good in my bb tank.

Now I have 2 pair sh were match and one of pair were copulation in front of me at 19 Feb 2005, I guess the male will birth at 5 mar 2005 (about 14 days)

Not all the real, some is human make. The sea fans is real but it is very hard to keep.

Welcome to forum.. .

thx so much.

I noticed from that your tank has no live rock. Are they in the sump or somewhere in other parts of tank or you do not use live rock at all for filtration?

[shl]

it is better not to use live rocks for a sh tank...firstly...there are cases of sh snicking on at bristtleworms and fireworms...the worms then stress the sh and the sh will die as the spines of the worms will stress the sh....according to some people also...lr will cause abrasions to the tail...

Now I add some Lr ar... my main filtration is bio-ball

[chinmo]

This is what i called... SIMPLE but EXCELLENT setup! nice to view, easy to maintain! we need more this kind of ideas Cool Bro Shl!

from ur tank pics , could see u have kuda and babouri(the yellow spikey ones with zebra snout). are they on frozens?

yes, they are all to eat frozen.

So are bio-balls a good adequate alternative to LR in terms of biological filtration purposes?

Guess in some way, LR serves little function (besides biological filtration) for SHs as they can't hitch on it.

[chinmo]

i'm using biohome and bacteria house medium. my no3 is always below 5ppm. i only have a few small pcs of lrs.

[brittlestars]

Thanks chinmo for sharing! How are your baby SHs? Enjoy reading your posts on seahorse.org as well
