25 or 30? I would guess maybe 5 pairs at most.For dwarf zosterae seahorses you can put probably 25 or 30 in a 5 gallon tank as long as you do the live feeding and
How small can I safely go for say...4 or 5 sea horses?
I would like to see if I can do something that will sit on the end of the couch in the corner. Preferably on an end table. Could I do something at around 5-10 gallons? Or how about 1 or 2 SH in a small pico tank?
"We don't need that kind of posting here", how Royal Rayjay.
Start up ? OK so you can keep 6 mixed giant seahorses in a 15 gallon tank with an (overhead filter) for two years at this other forum but you can not do it here?
Well RayJay "we" do not need misinformation on seahorse husbandry and "we" need to tell this OP that he may not keep 4 or 5 seahorses in a 5 to 10 gallon tank. But looks like "WE" AKA ME is not part of the seahorse NAZI community thankfully.
Keep up your good work PLEASE.

Found a 29g hex tank + stand + wet/dry sump + rodi unit for $150.
Looks like its all in good condition in the pictures. Going to go see about picking it up tomorrow. Ill start piecing together the rest of the system over the next couple months.
This size should settle any uneasiness on my part. A pico would have been nice, but Ill just stick with what apparently works. Id still like to have 4/5...and yes, I was thinking giant sea horses...or whatever a 3-6" tall sp[species would be called. I will probably do it bare bottom, and wouldn't mind having some zoos to go in as well. I don't see the harm in adding zoos.
Ill probably do 50lbs or so of LR. Bare bottom. Light flow at the bottom of the tank to keep detritus suspended, maybe a slight upward draft from a small K1 or something to create a water column. But I definitely want to keep the flow gentle and perfect.
Could I get some recommendations on a CuC for a tank this size? Im not sure If I have to have special considerations on the inverts to be compatible with the main display livestock. And finally how about plants/macro algae? Or is the fake stuff a better way to go?
