That is a good question..... :pom

I set up a 2.5 AGA, with a 2.5 AGA sump real quick tonight. I am thinking about putting it in there along with a couple of really beautiful flower anemonies I got a couple of weeks ago. It would be an anemone species tank..... :loveface

The tank as 2 13watt pc bulbs for lighting and I am pretty sure the carpets and the flowers would be OK with that. It is going to be a wait and see. It will call my prop tank "home" for at least a week or so....

Here are some real lousy pics of the 2.5 I set up tonight. Don't be making fun of the plumbing or the clean glass..... :joker:

front shot....



here is a side shot. You can see how I raised the fromt tank on a couple of 2X4's so the sunp would work....



and a final shot, to show how I drilled the tank.



I had this tank and hood laying around from when I used to keep Dwarf seahorses..... :fu

That is a neat rock, it makes me think of a ricordia rock. Please post more pics when it opens.
Neat idea with the duel 2.5s, that should work out well and you could add an auto-topoff to the sump to take care of evap. issues.

Dwarf seahorses are not as expensive as you think Eddy, captive bred ones may bring $10 each. You can take a look at this link and see just how cheap wild caught ones are: www.seahorseworld.com or www.floridacollector.com . They are fairly easy to keep but must be fed newly hatches brine shrimp, they will not eat any frozen or prepared foods. They are also alot smaller than most people think. I used to have some captive nred ones but ended up with a single sex tank so I didn't have any babies and the normal lifespan of a dwarf is only about a year. When mine were gone I took the tank down and am now scheming to figure out what to do with it :twisted: .
