Default Solana Rimless 34 Gallon Cube

I visited Cultivated Coral yesterday and they had this tank setup as a seahorse tank, it was awesome!

The price isn't bad at under seven hundred bucks for everything...
check it out:

Yea its really nice.
That picture makes the glass appear smoked a bit but it's not in person, its quite clear.
And you can't see it in the picture, but the stand has a glass door and a shelf so you can place a nice silk plant or some nice decoration and really make it blend into the room as a beautiful piece of furniture.

He had it stocked with seahorses, I should ask Nick to post a pic of it, he's a member here.
It was really awesome, being rimless makes it really sleek...

Looking good Nick. You gotta get it from a little bit farther away so we can see the rim and perhaps the pendant.
Anyway the tank is beautiful and its a great nanoreef setup.
That red and green blasto is a beauty.

Thanks Jarred. I'll get a picture with my other lens. I was using the 100mm Canon Macro for those shots.

looks Great, love the montipora... i know seahorses are REALLY cool but they tend to die with in the first year to year and a half, a pricy investment for something that lives a short live, but they are one of my favs.
keep it up bro! oh and are they mated?

I just purchased this Solana Aquariuum... I have never owned an aquariuum before. This seemed like the best option for me. I want to do a little bit of everything (coral/reef, fish etc..) I got the sunpod 24 hr HQI lighting system - which was almost as much as the tank lol

So I had it set up with live rock and sand in less than an hour. Going to watch it and learn how to test levels for a week and then go get some coral's / fish.

i'm excited but also a little nervous cause I hear so many horror stories about salt water aquariums!

Thanks guys. The seahorses will mate no problem. They are doing great. These are captive bred and a bit more hardy.

Thank you.

goldenmacman,

if you get some captive bred one they can live longer..g/f has one that is over 2 years and shes doing fine..good water quality is a must as with any tank..fresh or saltwater..good water quality and nice hiding places and you can have seahorses with you for a very long time

Wow super excited that I found this tank after searching everywhere through google for days. I have a few questions for you guys.

Are you using a chiller? Any issues with the turnover rate i've read its a little to much for seahorse? Were there any other mods done to safely house the horses?

Other than that im just excited to see one being used for horses. I have been promising my wife for a month now that I would make this happen. Great forum btw!

Hi,

It's a great seahorse tank. I removed the stock return pump. It's a 20+w no name from China and it put's out alot of heat. I replaced it with a Max-jet 900. Tank runs about 76 or so. You can lift the MH pendant to keep it off the water if need be.

Any questions, let me know.
