Dwarf Seahorse Tank Set-ups

[JackRent]

I am looking to set-up a dwarf seahorse tank in my office. I am a huge advocate for skimmers so suggestions there would be helpful. Also, i will be away on weekends naturally, so I would need a good auto-top off. I am thinking of a 12 gallon size nano for perhaps 10 dwarf seahorses. I would have some live rock, gorgonians and sponges.

System pics and descriptions would be great

Not to stuff up your plans, but you may need to think about how you plan on feeding the seahorses twice a day live baby brine while you are gone over the weekend?

Heavy feeding on Friday PM and Monday AM ??

Seahorses have simple digestive systems, both the larger and smaller varietys, and can't go that long without food. They'll need to be fed daily at least over the weekends.

any way to set up an auto brine shrimpdosing system ???

No, there are some products out there that claim to do that, but they end up fouling the water, and you still have to add brine eggs daily, or add enrichments every 12 hours.
