Ok i have to admit that i am new to sea horses, but i have been keep reef tanks for a little over 2 years. Well what i was thinking was could i attach another tank to my 75 aggressive, and by attach i mean plumb together, to keep these slow but admazing creatures? What size would be a good tank? If i do so it would be plumbed into a 75E with a 30 gal sump. I would only put tank raised SH in it. I know that tall tanks work better than shallow tanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Ben

I would say a min. of a 29g for 2 pairs of horses. Of course you could always go larger. I loved my 44g tall. It was a great seahorse tank.

Try to keep the flow a little lower than a reef, and break it up a ton with multiple returns or spraybars.

I would keep the temps lower. If you agressive tank is a FO than I'd shoot for mid 70's, everyone would be healthy there.
