2 small tanks - Reef-Geeks

Wright Place · Reef-Geek

I am considering setting up 2 small tanks in my living room

. I want both to be the same (stand and all, other than coral and fish of course) I was at That Fish Place in Lancaster today and the wife saw two 25 gal. cubes she liked but, we also thought about setting up 2 10g long or 2 20g long. Any ideas?Pros and cons? I originally thought about doing 30g talls but, discontinued that idea considering I don't have the longest arms

and am not using MH lighting. I think I migh be able to get more corals in shallow water than in my 90g because of the lighting. The wife want a sea horse in one, not too sure about that one. So please give me your two cents. Thank guys

think you want a tall tank for the horses

The sea horse concerns me on what kind of corals I can keep with them. Inverts and fish too.

cool deal. I would like to add some acro's and different corals from what I have in my 90

If the wife wants a seahorse tank then you should give it to her!

.....besides it would look way cool in the living room!

.......why do one of them a seahorse, and the other a nano reef?

Wright Place · Reef-Geek

Well I want to get 2 matching tanks and stands. Sea horse isn't out of the question. I'm just wondering what all corals I can keep with them. The other one, I want to stuff to the gills. However I want to keep some corals I don't have room for or don't already have in there.

from my understanding of horsey tanks you will be prone to algae so any corals that are easily overrun would be in danger, they also need lots of hitching posts

steve is right with the horsey tank! ........but you get to add a bunch of really cool gorgonians!!!
