Startup Suggestions for Seahorse Tank

[peterpaul]

I've got a 15 gallon tall tank with an eclipse hood. The tank has live rock and caulpera and mermaids wineglass growing in the tank for about 9 months now. Right now there is a chromis living in the tank but I would like to make that tank a seahorse tank. Am thinking of dwarf seahorses. I got tons of mysis shrimp growing my my refugiums in my other tanks which I can use to feed them or I can get a hatchery for brine shrimp. Not sure where to begin. Can you give me some suggestions.

15 gallon might be a little too big for seahorses but I would feed them baby mysis and brine or maybe some pods from your refugiums as a treat.

The eclipse tanks are not the best for seahorse. Mainly they run too hot (need to keep the temp down around 74. Also it can be hard to keep the flow right for seahorse. You don't want much flow for the dwarfs.

15 is also a bad size. A bit to large for dwarfs. It can be done but the its hard to keep the food concentration high enough in that large of a tank. 15 is a bit small for most other species.
