Hi Snrs,

I'm interested to setup a SH tank and have a few qns to consult.

- Intended Tank Size 60X60X45CM (162l) w/o sump/overflow

- Intend to use a Tuneze Nano Reefpack 200 or Rea Sea Prizm

- currently got a Eheim 2213 Cannister Pump, intend to put in LR (read in the other thread) to supplement the skimmer, is it advisable?

And also intend to put in LR and live sand in the tank.

May i know will the above be a sustainable system to keep SH? I'm new to marine, btw.

Thanks

Keeping SH is challenging not impossible.

However been new to this hobby, I would not advice starting with SH. Just my 2 cents.

You might have already read alot on this hobby. However it never will be enough before trying.

Thanks! If for hardy fishes, is such a setup ok?

Seahorses are a lot more demanding than you think.

They eat non-stop and need the right kind of foods... ie. live shrimps. Unless they are trained or YOU train them yourself intensively until they do.

Water quality has to be good too.

OK, look like I need to have lotsa experience with marine before i can go into SH. If for FOWLR, is such a setup suitable for a begginer? Would like to hear some advice on my tank size and equipments

Hi Bro, you may wish to visit http://www.seahorse.com/ for more info on sea horse. A simple setup is the best for SH tank. As for the food - only live shrimp is the best. SH can only live without food for 7days.
