www.talkingreef.com just did a podcast on seahorses. It's about 45 minutes of seahorse basics.
Also, I think www.reeftalk.com said they'll be talking about seahorses on an upcoming podcast.
Both are nice to listen to on the drive into work.

I have dwarfs but a 15 would be too big for them unless you had a couple dozen or more due to the feeding density required. Most of the others require a tall tank due to their swim pattern during courting and I believe 20-24" of height is recommended. All of them are very social and won't do well unless you get at least 2 or 3. seahorse.org and the forum here have a lot of info. Same principals as what you are used to but very low flow and a few tankmate issues to watch but not bad. Oh, and when picking equipment you'll probably want to look at the iceprobe chiller and controller.

try http://www.oceanrider.com/ you can pick up some good info. make sure you have a good filtration scheme planned as they need heavy feeding since they do not ahve a stomach or any organ for storing food.

and make sure they are tank raised---it makes life a lot easier when it comes to getting them to feed on frozen foods instead of live
