Hi

 

I have not had no experience with sea horses, but surely the rule should apply to them as they do to all marine species, water conditions have to be near perfect, it has taken me almost 2 years to stock my tank with fish and live rock, soon I will start on the coral, it takes time because each time you add something you have to wait for the toxics to level out. Sea horses are delicate, so will need a mature tank, this will probably mean that you will have to add a large lump of live rock, each time waiting for levels to drop before you add another, could take some time!

As soon as you start adding rock or any other hardy species, do a water change of around 10% every week, testing the water every 2 - 3 days, you may even have to do 2 water changes a week if levels rise too much.

 

Hope this helps, if I can help anymore give me a shout.

My partner and I have in the past kept tropical fish but would like
to make the step into marine, to be persific sea horse. We have read
four books on the subject and asked people that have experance but I
have got two opinons on keeping seahoures, one is that I should get
experience with marine fish first because of the difficults of
keeping sea houes and the other is that as long as In read up on the
subject and understode the responcbillys that it would be ok as a
beginer to marine tanks. I would like your appions and advise as I
do not want to be irrspocible. Sorry for the spelling I am Dyslexic.
Thanks
