seahorse tank set up???

[purebullet417]

i currently have a 45 gal mixed reef so im not new to the hobby but new to seahorses. i have a 15 gal tall(20x10x18) and was wondering if i could get any type of seahorses in there. i have regular output lights glass top and stand as it used to be fresh water. also what eles could i keep in it such as macro algee ect. thanks

most are going to say that 15gallon is to small for seahorse. maybe for a pipefish?

o at my lfs they have dwarf seahorses and some smaller regular seahorses would i be able to keep these

from what i've read 15 is to big for dwarf i think youd need around 50 of them to be able to keep the feeding density correct.

I think you COULD keep a seahorse but it i dont know that it would be the best setup because of how messy they are and the size. hopefully some one who knows more will be around soon enough man.
