sorry for the delay, christmas and the new year around here has be hectic, the tank is coming along great after giving away the leopard shark the parameters have been slowly dropping ever since im about 75% of where everything needs to be, from where it was a couple weeks ago (all off the charts), heres some pics of everything since the last update ill try to get better ones if needed, let me know......

Looking clearer, beecause you are having parameter probs, i think you should sell/ give away more of them. that tank would IMO look better as a full blown reef. Also how is you sea horse coming along?

I've looked into seahorses before and everything I've read and heard is that they are very hard to maintain. I too beleive that it will eventually be a snack for the sharks!

As for the 10g salt h2o tank. I have an Eclipse 12 up and going for almost 3 years. I used 20lbs of live sand and 18-20lbs of live rock. I have never performed a water change. I just replace the evaporated water with RO. At one time I had seven fish and they lasted over a year. I moved and lost a couple in the move. Other than that, I still have the original fish and they seem to be happy and healthy!

Good luck!
