    yes, you will really need to wait a good 7 months for everything to get established before even thinking of adding ea horses, they are incredibly fragile.

    lol same link, those pods are expensive! holey crap your g/f is gong to pay for them!?!?!? that ones a keeper dude!! in my honest opinion sea horses are way better off in species only tanks, mixing delicate species like that will not have a happy outcome... If it were me I would pick one or the other(horses or mandarin) and see how you do. But to be completely honest I would try and get some horses from a local place(maybe find a breeder) and see what they run. Try to get the more hardier sea horses for your tank first and see how they do for a while, that much cash will end very badly if they are you first horses...?
