I have a 29 gallon biocube tank that has been set up for over a year and was thinking of trying seahorses. Looking for info on tank scaping, flow, and requirements .

With a chiller the tank could probably work with a pair of hippocampus kuda, which grow to about 6". They are a little smaller than hippocampus erectus or hippocampus reidi. H kudas are shyer and can be more difficult to feed. Also beware that you are not purchasing a tank raised or net penned H kuda. The asian market sometimes sells this specie and they often arrive malnourished and sickly by the time they reach the lfs.I have plenty of flow and live rock. Free standing is exactly how it's scaped. It's an extremely easy tank to keep clean. I put an "intank "media basket in filter compartment with poly filter pad, carbon and gfo which keeps water sparkling clear and nutrients very low. I'm in sw FL and keep house at 76-78 degrees year round . Problems I see are tank is only 16 inches high and temperature runs about 78 degrees . Chiller is an option but can't change height.
