the main problem will be temperature as seahorses should be kept around 68-74 degrees to help keep pathogens inline. and on flow they can take a bit more mine like to play in the flow. seahorses are also messy not good for sps tank. i like display macros in my tank but thats a personal choice.
i would recommend a separate tank with a good skimmer and a sump/fuge if possible . my new set up i am doing a sump and hob fuge. about 2.5 inches of sand . only because i like sand others prefer bb tank for easy cleaning. adding pipefish is a risk but is doable . these are just my opinions from 1yr of seahorses i am sure some more experienced keepers will also chime in.
