Thanks alot.
1.Research the species extensively that you would like to keep and make sure you can adequately care for their needs.
2.Have plenty of coral/macroalgae for your horse to hitch onto
3.Keep very peaceful tankmates
4.Ensure that they are being fed adequately by target feeding
5.Tank flow should be diverse and ensure your tank has a "calm"area for your horse to retreat to when your tank is experiencing periods of stronger flow.

I'm very curious because I'm also keeping SPS, LPS, softies and seahorses together right now with some success in a 30 gallon aquarium. I tried an acropora frag once but the frag got RTN so I never tried again. Then again I don't think I have all the equipment to keep the calcium/alk levels stable enough for them (I just use a two-part). I keep montis and a birdsnest which are all growing and I'm going to try a stylo mini-colony soon (couldn't pass up the price offered by a local member).
Could you give the specifics of your setup if you don't mind like size of tank, sump, equipment?

WOW. That is a beautiful tank shot. Will you share some more pictures please?
I too have been keeping seahorses in a "mixed" 110 gallon tank with some acro, bird's nest, chalice, acans, polyps. I use the small wavebox from Tunze to help maintain good flow without knocking the seahorses around. Seahorses seem to like the flow this creates. I also use G3 skimmer...want to make sure you have plenty of skimming power since seahorses need to be fed at least 2X per day.

I don't think I need to be reading this stuff. Not while I'm in the middle of my 110g reef tank build project. Ideas are starting to form in the back of my mind, and temptation is sneaking in....
