I have heard low flow, tall tanks, with lots of branchy rock/coral to hold onto

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.
