would say you need a hob skimmer for sure maybe not so much rock more leather corals and such for them to hitch to . also weekly water changes is a must. the hob filter will work . thats how my 29g tank is set up hob filter hob skimmer and 1 power head for flow

Know what a good skimmer would be for a hob that's not going to be loud or put bubbles in the tank

I have an open air line in each seahorse tank to aid in gas exchange at surface.
I don't worry about bubbles.
