I've been doing a lot of research and I think I'm going to set up a Seahorse tank. They're home's going to be a 34g Solana. The only topic that I'm having a hard time finding information on is Raising Seahorse fry. Does anyone have any helpful websites/information on a good tank for raising baby Seahorses?

haha, me too!
What kind of seahorses will you have?
Fry are not the easiest depending on the species.
The only fry I have been raising are reidi fry which are harder than some but not as hard supposedly as something like barbouri.
Benthic fry that hitch at birth are easiest and most could be started off with bbs.
Pelagic fry don't hitch and present problems keeping them from surfacing.
I use the greenwater method using rotifers and bbs plus ClorAm-X.
There are multiple nursery styles one can use, or you can devise your own.
seahorse.org has many threads that can give you some guidance as to how you can proceed.
First though, be sure you will be able to maintain the conditions most long term seahorse hobbyists recommend for the best chances of success.
