    Wow! Nice rank bigbore, that GSP has gone nuts! I've got a smaller version but have kept it isolated from the main rocks to prevent its spread.

      I believe our @Webmaster is not opposed to the odd seahorse or two :biggrin:

        We indeed, do keep Hippocampus Reidi, We have them in a Fluval Vicenza 180 which I modified to have a sump rather than an external canister filter. I also have sitting in the corner of the living room, an almost 5x2x 2.6 High aquarium, this crashed over 2 years ago, and due to personal situations, I haven't had the enthusiasm to start it back up again, though I'd love to when I see some marine tank pics like I do.

        Here's a video of mine a couple of months before it crashed :(

          And here's a video of the Seahorse tank from around the same time, which is roughly the same apart from different algaes, the red seemed to just die off slowly.

          The loss of your aquarium must have been devastating Nathan. :sad: Watching the video's, both aquariums are absolutely fascinating though. :dbgrtmb:

            Wahoo! More aquatics buddies!

            I've got my pride and joy... the fluval edge 12g tank which is home to a single Male Betta fish called Cyan.

            20150604_220719.jpg

            20150604_220727.jpg

            Then I've got my new 120L Fluval Roma

            20150606_141132.jpg
            That photo's about 2 month old. After a month it looked like this:

            20150730_225355.jpg
            And now it's even more full! I'll take another pic soon. I've got Red crystal shrimp, yamato shrimp, redhron snails, assassin snails, otos and Celestial pearl danios in there.

            In the storage underneath I've got the reserve tank (for breeding/daphnia cultivating/isolation) which is filtered, heated tank without any additional wiring on show. The wires have been tidied up and hidden behind the main column.

            20150628_183310.jpg

            I've also got a Fluval Spec 2.5G which is tiny! It sits on the desk upstairs and it's got some red cherry shrimp and 3 chili rasboras.

            That is wonderful! Very jealous!! :love30: I am going to save up for a reef tank and get myself a monster 8ft tank with an apex system so that it is nearly fully automated. I love the idea of having corals but wow it's expensive! you've done really well with that tank

            The eventual plans are: New big reef tank. Freshwater tank will become a turtle tank. Fluval edge will become a poison dart frog terrarium :yes:

            Pond is very silty after fish introduced.
