Seahorses for a 44 gallon pentagon

What seahorses would do fine in a 2' tall 44 gallon pentagon?
I'm planning on ~45lbs of LR, and a 10 gallon sump with macroalgaes.
 
You can keep two pair of H. reidi or two pair of H. erectus, the more commonly available seahorses on this continent at least.
I would keep as much of the rock in the sump myself. I hate it when I can't see the seahorses when they are behind the rocks "hunting" for natural food that no longer exists because they exterminated it all.
Makes cleaning the tank easier to do when needed also.
 
I'd run with the the LR and macro in the DT. "Bare" tanx may be easier to clean and whatnot, but they simply aren't as pleasing to the eye. Part of the hobby is all about individual preferences This was my fave SH setup before I took it down when we moved:

I don't have the money for a good lighting fixture that will fit on the tank, so only plastic plants will be in the DT.
 
So what are you getting? a dwarf tank? A 29 gallon tank or this one? I thought your mother was against it all? What changed? I am so confuse about what tank you are REALLY getting?

Most macro doesn't require special lighting...in fact, many of the reds such as Botryocladia actually does better under dimmer conditions.
