6 gallon will need about 3-4 pairs for good feeding density. Everything should be panacur-able (will kill hydroids which hurt the seahorses and eat brine shrimp) should have plants. Plastic or live for hitching, live rock that is either been pacaured or is made specifically dwarf safe. sexy shrimp are prolly not panacur safe. tank mates would be nass. snails, a few types of other snails, and hawaiin red shrimp, opae ulaa (sp?) which clean. They can be found at seahorsesource.com

what would be a good tank size for a pair of dwarf sea horses.

Yes, the Eclipse 6 would be an ok choice to keep dwarfs in. You will have to slightly modify the intake tube to accept a sponge filter so the dwarfs don't get sucked up, they will go right through the stock intake strainer. Otherwise that should be a good choice. To avoid hydroids I would not use Live sand or Live rock. Make sure the tank is cycled before adding the dwarfs.
