What ever you do make sure you see your seahorse eat frozen food before you purchase it. I don't care how cute it is, resist the urge.

Try to have a rock with a bowl shape or a plating monti cap skeleton in there. That way you can train them to go there for food. anything that does notg et eaten you can suck up with a turkey baster to help maintain water quality.

Like other have said cooler tank, I would suggest a good quality skimmer, and no other tank makes aside from the clean up crew. On the clean up crew topic. Make sure you do not have any nasty crabs in your rock. I once had one and he was able to grab the tail of my ponies and slowly much on them. so when choosing CUC keep that in mind, most large crabs (including hermits) have the potential to do that.
