What would be "not long"?

Is it ok if my powerheads suck air a little during water changes? I saw an experienced friend of mine do a water change and just let his powerheads suck air and blow bubbles all over while he did the water change. Does this hurt the powerheads or the fish/corals? Or does it just sound bad?

?? Updates ??

Where is the best place to get them?

I like the tank raised kudas cause they are bright colored. Or are erectus as well?

Well, the tank is done cycling but I have to wait to buy the seahorses for financial reasons (not to mention I'm having issues deciding which species I want lol) But here are a few more pics of progress.

I think your pricing estimates are way high. Initial setup will be spendy but yearly costs should not be THAT bad.

Here are some pics. Keep in mind it is just cycling.

No, no other thread. I'll tell/show anything u want. I set it up for a sump. It is filled with water and running. I can post pictures later

Is that true for fish as well?

What species?

Filling the tank. Anyone use a feeding trough?

That's why people use feeding troughs. Like a clam shell close to the bottom and use either a turkey boasters to gently deposit the food into the tray or a pipe that allows the food to slowly drop into the shell/tray. That way the food stays in one spot.

I read that since seahorses are slow and messy eaters, if u free feed them like fish alot of the food doesn't get eaten due to it floating into places the seahorses don't get to or don't see, turning into an ammonia/nitrate farm and hurting the seahorses.

An building a seahorse tank and have feeding questions. I read about feeding troughs and tubes and even feeding via a clump of cheato. How do u guys recommend doing it? I'd prefer not to have to get wet at feeding time. Some tank specifics: Here are a few pics of the tank so far. No water...
