Refugium as a seahorse tank??

joshsmit56001 · 08-29-2006, 03:39 PM

Anyone ever done this? I am setting up a 150 reef in the near future and I really like the look of seahorses. I was think of setting up a refugium with macroalgea and maybe some seahorses. Would this work? What size is good for seahorses? I heard the taller the tank the better, is that true?

Thanks,
Josh

I think You can do it, but You will want to give them room to roam and taller is best, make it tall, have good flow but not too much, let the main tank and refugium mature alittle and get stable before adding them,

sounds good... just keep the macro pruned back. look at a 30 tall or bigger.

Very good and good point of view and good Guidelines But I have found that they are not all that hard to take care of if You buy healty CB seahorses, It's like so many other things in this hobby,

Yup, remember that saltwater is not harder... only more expensive. if you read up and then buy the good equipment then you just need to get the right horses and it is no problem.
