I keep my seahorses in a dedicated refugium type tank with only a few small fish, like a jawfish, redstripe goby, leopard wrasse, 6 line wrasse & yellow canary wrasse. They have slow flow, lots of prolifera macroalgae & other algae for swimming through & hanging on to. They also get target fed with mysis & plankton several times a day (I work at home).
For people unable to give them something similar (in terms of passive tank mates, macroalgae forests & slow flow), then keeping seahorses are probably not ideal for their tanks. Remember that with seahorses, overfeeding is almost a given, considering how glacially slow they are at feeding and that will lead to blooms of bristleworms &/or flatworms from the excess food. I have a skimmer rated for 250g on that setup and the macroalgae help suck up a lot of nutrients. Anthony
