29 gallon with a pair of H. barbouri

[cowcio]

I have a spare 29 laying around and I have been trying to figure out what I want to do with it. I am almost positive I would like to keep seahorses.

This is what I have in the tank:

35 lbs LR (some branch rock, others fiji)
Remora protein skimmer (in 10 gallon bubble-free sump)
2.5 inch sand bed
Lots of chaeto
250 Watt MH w/ 2 55 watt VHO actinics

Corals-
A few gorgonians
some zoanthid frags
I might add some hard corals


Anything to add? No chiller yet, but I will add one before I get the seahorses.

What other options would I have in a 29 g other than H. barbouri? I will take plenty more time to research this, but I would like some comments on my setup.

Thanks!

no hard corals really: most all LPS have stingers, and sps need higher flow than horses like. mostly leaves us to non-photosynthetic corals like sun polyps, and softies: leathers, shrooms...

and lots of macros

don't NEED a chiller if you can keep the tank down around 74*

can also look into reidi, erectus, and kuda. if your willing to get the chiller then capinses can also be done.
