It was nice but the 12" depth on the 30 gallon XH tank was a challenge to scape and a challenge to scrape (when it came time for cleaning). Seahorses are very vulnerable to bacterial infections so the husbandry on both tanks had to be top notch or the ponies could get sick. After a year of having both tanks I decided that it was too labor intensive for me. To remedy the situation I made the difficult decision to go down to just 1 tank...a seahorse tank.

It made the most sense to use the 36 gallon bowfront since it was bigger, deeper and my favorite of the 2 tanks.
