To get flickr images to show up in the post you have to use the img url for it. Easiest way to do that is to right click> inspect the image, and copy the og img url which looks about like this
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4622/40035667461_d7ddf40229_b.jpg
that url will embed into the post like this

Oh cool, I'll try that! I'll get this figured out one of these days.

Is the right click thing for a pc? I can't seem to find that option on my phone...

Right after I got it wet.

Hmm, I looked it up on flickr, and according to their policy they dont want you getting that url easily, and sadly on mobile its not possible to get it...

Everything up and running. Cycle went well water parameters are all in check so picked up some fish from poseidons as they were closing. Got 4 blue/green chromis, and a coral beauty. Everyone is happy and eating very well! Included the monthly progression pictures as well, I've picked up quite a few corals and in the short time I've had them have already noticed quite a bit of growth in all of them.

I made some changes to the seahorse tank.

I installed my 2 Tom continuous hatch and feeds for a continuous supply of brine shrimp in the seahorse tank today. Brine shrimp eggs will be here later today so I can hopefully give them a trial run.

Where did you find the seahorses?

 

[kchristensen8064]

I found them from this site down in Florida.

Seahorse source doesn't carry them right now and the other one doesn't have dwarfs. I looked everywhere for captive breed and couldn't find them but the site I did get them from is starting to captive breed, so they should be in the future.

How are the little guys doing? I am thinking about them for the library tank in the 40 gallon fuge. There is so much life in there I'd never need to feed them.

Ocean Rider in Kona Hawaii is a captive farm for seahorses. It’s a popular destination if youre ever on the big island. One of my favorite stops when we visited. I checked quickly and it does look like you can order from their site. I didn’t look specifically for dwarfs.

They are doing good so far, I think I'm going to have to make some modifications to the Tom's hatch n feeders to make them more efficient at getting the hatched baby brine into the water column though.

I checked this site they don't have dwarfs either. I truly looked everywhere.

Well I woke up this morning to one of my males having babies! We think we ended up with 13. Pretty cool watching that happen.
