How many gallons are those tanks? I am thinking that they are too shallow which is not optimal for any of the bigger seahorses. H erectus should have a minimal of 30 gallons for each pair and a tank that has at least 19" of height. Not only is it good for their mating dance but I think it is just beneficial for their health in general. They do a lot of vertical swimming.

I did a little looking for you. An IM 50 Fusion Lagoon would have good dimensions for erectus seahorses since it is higher.

I have a 56 column tank for my erectus and I love the dimensions but it is not rimless, if you want that feature. With my sump I feel comfortable keeping 4 seahorses.
