Looking for input on starting a seahorse tank.
As the title suggests I am looking to start a seahorse tank build in an old floor model television which I had a freshwater aquarium built into previously. I guess the main questions would be
1. Tank size requirements 2. Need for a protein skimmer? 3. Suitable tank mates 4. Is a refugium necessary (i have read they need a pod colony) Any other comments would be appreciated, as well as info on your own successes. And yes I will show a build thread as the T.V. Tank comes to life

The tank would be about 20" tall with just cheap led lighting, maybe just enough to grow softies. I guess that would mean I would need some fake branching stuff.

Thnx for the response, I know we talked about pipefish before. Do you think they would be a compatible tank mate. I know they are from the same family. How r urs making out. (I hope I have the right guy)

Pipefish and seahorses can be kept together. Other suitable tankmates are very small gobies and blenny's.

Do I need a refugium or will live rock and pod supplementing from my 180g be enough to keep them happy? I ask because a fuge will be hard to fit into the tv concept.
