What power head or wave maker for 20 gal Seahorse tank.

Thinking of doing this can you guys give me some suggestions for this? I know there is a lot of new technology out there so lets see it if you know of it! Thanks!!

First of all, you need to reconsider the tank size.
The recommended tank size for ONE pair of seahorses of standard size like reidi or erectus is 29g with an addition 15g for each additional pair.
I use hagen 802 power heads with a quick filter attachment in each of my seahorse tanks except for the dwarf tanks. I also run an open ended air line in each seahorse tank, two in each dwarf tank.
Tank size and other information can be found by clicking on links at the bottom of "My Thoughts on Seahorse Keeping

Thanks RayJay for the input. I read your replies to some other folks after I started the thread. Thank you for repeating your self. I know that is probably frustrating. I will consider the tank size I know you spoke of pairs I was planning to keep one, I do not know if that makes a difference. Thank also for the link to the wealth of knowledge on keeping these beautiful specimens.

I would say a Koralia Nano. The wider flow pattern is nice IME for adult seahorses.

Thanks I think I will consider that also!
