I'll start off by wishing you luck. I'll be following your progress. I am a believer that seahorses can be kept in a tank with corals, but I feel they need to be seahorse friendly. Seahorses are scaleless, which makes them more susceptible to injury from stinging corals.
Also, I do have some questions and concerns about you doing this. Do you run GFO? Long term exposure to GFO can irritate the gills of the seahorses and lead to complications.
Do you plan on keeping the temp at 77? This can create a breeding ground for bacteria such as vibrosis, especially if you feed the tank heavily. This is not a risk that I would be willing to take.
As far as the power heads, do you plan on covering them? That is a seahorse hitching post disaster waiting to happen. I would highly recommend adding a cover to the power heads and any other equipment that they can hitch on and be injured.
