I am planning to buy a seahorse tank with Reidi seahorses from another person.
The current set up is 30 gallon Hex tank with stand, under gravel filter, hang on filter, glass top and light.
I already have a 215 gallon reef tank with 50 gallon sump and am wondering if it would provide better stability to the little tank if I just plumbed it into the big set up rather than keeping it as a stand alone.
The big tank of course has a skimmer in the sump and I've read some things about it where it used to be considered bad to have a skimmer but newer findings seem to indicate that skimmers do not cause disease after all.
What would you do? Leave it by itself or connect it to my larger system to share the water supply? If I leave it by itself is undergravel filter and hang on filter the best way to do this? Or should I consider other filters or skimmers for the seahorse tank?
