Reef and Sea Horse tank

[tendar]

Here are a few pics of the 4 Oceanrider sea horses at morning feeding time. The tank is approx 40 corner pentagon tank. there are some mushrooms and green star polys and 2 fire shrimps a few large feather dusters and a orange tree sponge and several hermits for cleanup with a few snails.
They are feed PE Mysis Shrimps 2 times a day and starved one day a week.

Here are 2 looking over the food choices for the day.

Here is wider view at same breakfast and you can see all 4 if you look. Hoping they will get some more color since started adding a few corals and up graded the lighting to get some coraline algea to color up the tank some more and hopfully the horses will color up more as the tank gets more color.

What type of flow you have running on this tank? I know the flow needs to be minimal to support the horses. They do not survive in the flow we traditionally use.

I have a mag 5 for return pump but it is turned down to about 200-300 gal per hour and 2 RIO 50's doing probably about 60 gph sor around 300-350 gph so there is some flow in there to move water around the corals and feather duster but nothing that bothers the sea horses that blows them around just a few very light currents.
The rio's are on the front corners shooting back to the back middle and the return is through a 1" "T" that almost loose the flow though such a big pipe so no force behind return water at all.

How long have you had these seahorses?
