Need help setting up a reef tank

[Mofles]

Hello I was wondering if some one could help me out? 4 years ago I had a nice fish tank, everything who's going good untill I got laid off. This time I want to start all over again and I'm thinking on making it a reef tank, of course with corals an a couple of fish. One thing that I would really like to add is a seahorse or a pair of seahorses. Of course I have done some research, but I have also seen tanks with corals and seahorses and other fish. They say to have seahorses apart from other dishes or corals. I would really appreciated is some one could help me out, with some of your own experience.
Thank you for your time.

Seahorses are very delicate and requires special setup. They are best left for the experienced. You may want to start with fish and corals to begin with. After you mastered the hobby, you can consider seahorses.

Yeah my plans are in 4 - 5 years adding them into a tank.

Watched a TV show on a seahorse tank. The seahorses need such a low flow compared to the rest of the animals in a standard reef tank that they would blow away and never be out because of that.

Youd have to get a small tank for them and run it perfectly.

THey can live with some fishes of similar habit, like pipefishes, I understand. Neither does well in high current, and planted weed is also a feature of seahorse tanks.

Thank you guys... I'll just do a separate tank by it self with seahorses.
One last question, what strong light would you guys recommend. LED Light digital with a fan.
