This is what this fish looked two years ago in it's yellow phase. She has recently changed to look like the next picture, this is the same fish Eventually they look like this old married couple. I don't remember how old they are but they have been spawning for a few years. I have four of...

Abitnutty, seahorses are easy to collect with a two man seine net that you drag through grass flats. You can't catch them with a baited trap. I don't sell my feeders anymore, I built and sold 6,000 of them, thats enough ::)

No, obviousely I am not a math wiz, 60 to 100GPH is fine.

Good luch with those horses, they are a nice find and a real interesting animal. This is the thing I invented. Mods don't worry I am not selling them anymore. http://www.breedersregistry.org/Articles/v4_i3_paul_b/paul_b.htm

They are very common on the east coast. I collected a dozen last week. This pair I collected in NY are spawning. You can see the female transfering the eggs to the male. They lived a couple of years and I raised the fry to adulthood and spawned them also. The problem with seahorses is that they...

No, I think you should turn the volume down a little. One of those pumps could do the entire thing if you feel like piping them together like I did. I think about 100GPH down each tube would be perfect. You are not trying to push a lot of water down there. With the old UG filters we wanted to do...

I thought it looked good but you know more about that stuff than I do. Thanks Paul

How large is each section of ug that each tube covers

Dave you can buy those sponges that go over the intake of a powerhead to filter the water, I don't know if that is what you have but it makes it easier to clean. I don't use a reverse running powerhead. I pump the water into this green container which is an old filter container. The three tubes...

Sounds good to me. To measure the pump volume, fill a gallon bucket with the pump and time it. If it fills it in a minute that would 60 gallons an hour. Don't pump the water faster than that or you will defeat the purpose and you will have all the problems people have had with UGFs and you will...

I just walk out here with a bucket

As was aaid here somewhere, I have been using it for forty years, so far no problems. I filter it through a coffe filter to remove plankton and jellyfish but it is not really necesary. All of your animals came from NSW, none of them came from ASW so it should be no surprise. And if you ever...

Seems OK I can't picture it. As long as you are pumping about 50 GPH down each tube it should be fine. I don't use a reverse pump. I just pump water into a plastic container and the tubes are connected top the bottom of that.

They are not local fish and come from the Caribbean so they don't have to get used to reef temperature. The butterflies would not be reef safe as they would pick on SPS corals but they are fine in my reef as I only have LPS corals with only one SPS. That little puffer would not be reef safe only...

I think it's about 75 degrees this time of the year.

Here is some stuff I collected today along with a million pipefish which I returned to the sea, another million blowfish, which I also returned and a load of trumpet fish, needle fish, and wrasses. We also collected five gallons of spearing, to eat. Me not the fish. This picture was taken in my...

I catch them in a bay off the Atlantic

New pictures of locally collected stuff. I just love this 1/2" boxfish or burrfish. And of course these guys

I have a bunch of those mud snails in my reef and they have been in there for two summers. They seem to be reef safe and never go near the corals. They like the glass. Almost all of the crabs you can collect locally will live in your tank. You may not want to put them in there but they will...

I just bought a new net and am going back wednesday. I have a bunch of spotfins but I want more lookdowns and boxfish. I am also going for blue claw crabs. You got to eat. 8)
