Here is a feeder. It took qhuite awhile to track down where to buy these, and it looks like there a UK product. From looking around most are using bowls of varying types.

I finally tracked down the US distributer for this particular product and how much it costs.....total rip off I think...$120

My reef keeper is holding steady at 73.5ish

Redid the aquascape a little...what do you think?

I just ordered my first seahorse! It's off of Seahorsecorral.com! They said that they have been trying to breed for a color changing erectus seahorse that has cirri. Cirri from what I was told is extremely rare on colors horses. About 1-2 in 1,000....I will be the person that will be receiving the first one the they have ever successfully raised. Since I will be the first one to receive it I am getting it at a discounted price as long as I let them know how it does, if it's cirri stays an if its color changes. If its cirri goes away and it's color changes then I will get a refund to the normal price of an erectus seahorse. Here is a picture of the 5 month old pony they are reserving for me for a Saturday delivery this weekend!

Just one quick question, I have a coral life thermometer and it is reading at 74.5, I just got my new rkl and the temp probe is reading 73.5....what one should I believe?

I would trust the RKL over the digital thermometer. But, the only way you can truly know is by getting a scientific grade thermometer to compare and calibrate the units.

I was going to say the same thing I would probably go off of the rkl.

THE PONNY CAME TODAY!:
so the seahorse came today from Seahorsecorral.com! I couldn't be more happy! So pretty in my opinion and after 20 minutes in the tank she was eating like crazy frozen mysis just as they promised she would! I Would totally recomend that company from now on an great Great GREAT costumer service. Helped me with anything I needed! (They even put up with my numerous emails daily because I kept forgetting things!) with out further or due here is Amphitrite! (Greek goddess of the sea)
Acclimating:

In the tank:

Munchin some mysis:

Right now the tank I'm planning on using is full of South American cichlids waiting to get into the 180. It's a 47 gal tall. Will probably be a year before I set it up for the horses. Still getting a handle on the SW with my 28 gal cube.

If you look in my pictures from the Berlin aquarium there is a beautiful yellow pony.
