Seahorses

[BCreefmaker]

im looking into adding on a seahorse tank onto my next upgrade project, it will be going under my 90G built into the stand. my question is a 30G enough for 2 yellow brazillian sea horses? secondly i have a bunch of cheato, mermaids hair, and this other sea grass, is this enough or should i get something more firm for the sea horse to grab onto like capulera? secondly what should the tanks turnover be? third does it matter if i pack extra rock into their tank or do they like lots of swimming room ( i.e. 2-3lbs per gallon). and one last question. i was setting my 90 gallon up into a peacfull reef, would it be ok to add a dragon pipefish if the flow isnt too crazy? i have heard they can be kept in tanks with high flow, they just always cling to rocks and stay in the wloer flow areas... any thoughts on this? and is a 90 gallon tank enough to make pods for both a dragon pipefish and a mandarin if im dosing pyhto, or will i have to add on another real fuge, not a sea horse fuge?

I have seahorses in a 12G nano and they swill all over in that thing. As far a pipe fish go, I have been seeing people put them into more SPS style tanks with good luck. Juts as long as they have some lower flor area to hang out in. HTH

BCreefmaker-try posting this on the sea horse/ pipefish thread. you will get more responses their.

TIMMYE- I dont think your set up will work long term, 12 gallons is too big for dwarf sea horses, yet too small for normal sized sea horses.
