Will i'm trying to get some more info about a seahorse tank.. I have a 20L that has been cycling for about 2 months and I want a seahorse + pipefish tank.. What is recomended for a suitable seahorse tank?

Unfortunately a 20L really isn't a great size tank for anything except perhaps capensis due to the height of the tank....and they need a tank temp of 68-72F. I'm sure some of the smaller pipefish may do well in that size tank, so perhaps a species only pipefish tank would be a good idea.

A 20 gallon is a very minimal size tank for seahorses. As reefnutpa wrote, small horses only and not really any room for tankmates.

With such a small tank, you may end up high nutrient loads and water quality issues.
