Hello all,
I am considering designing a new tank, and would like to have seahorses. My ideal goal would be to have a 125 gallon tank, with a refugium that would have seahorses.
Couple of questions:
1) Since this tank is in-line with the 125 gallon, what sort of size / gallons would I need. Is there a 'must have' dimension for a seahorse tank to make them happy?
2) I've read that 75 is the magic number for seahorses, would macroalgaes and other life that is normally in a refugium thrive at this temperature?
3) With this water being in-line, is it feasible that I could run two different temperatures (ie main tank around 78ish, refiguim 75)? Or should I run the whole tank at 75?
4) In general, is this a good idea; or are there too many things that could go wrong?
