seahorse tank?

i currently have a 90 gallon reef tank with 3 damsels 1 maroon clown 1 percuola, a sailfin tang a yellow tang and a hawkfish, pixy hawk. i am planning on starting out a new tank( not to replace this one but an addition to) that would have seahorses, not sure what kind yet, i have had some before but they were of the dwarf variety, i am going to try and buy off of seahorse.com because theirs are already weaned onto reeze dried food, i dont want to culture brine shrimp and pods. any ideas on tanks? species? anything? thanks8)

 

I would say a modded all in one system like biocube 29 with refugium from with cactus caulerpa and mandarins would be awesome. Skimmer would be a plus. Checkk these guys out http://shop.mediabaskets.com/BioCube-29-Package-Deal-BC29-Bundle.htm

 

yes, but as for other tank mates, could i do some small blennies or gobies or something, i know im not supposed to but just asking. also what type of inverts could i have, and also coral for it to latch onto, sea whip?

 

Cactus caulerpa for latchng, or dead coral skeletons, corals may sting them.
As for tankmates, scooter blennies. Invert wise just gowith snails I'd say, seahorses are slo and could get preyd upon by crabs

 

what about sexy shrimp? also i didnt think sps could sting? and what type of lighting should i use, i heard that bright lighting makes them timid?

 

whoa slow down a bit. if you want seahorses i suggest going to Con999's thread. i think it's called "new year, new seahorse build!" theres pretty good info from what i remember, and he has the horses in QT right now

 

i have already seen con99's build. im planning something a little bigger, i was planning like an sps tank with seahorses and mandarins. with metal halides. probably a 75 gallon

 

yeah u could keep scooters and/or mandarins with seahorses since they dont bother the seahorses at all really

 

do sps sting tho?

 

mgith wanna ask 2in10 or Corailline; i have no experience with SPS
