So I saw the 6 gallon nano cube, and I was wondering if in the future I should set it up as a seahorse tank. I would maybe put one H. Fuscus seahorse in, because I don't want to have to deal with the live food for dwarfs. On seahorsesource.com, it says that they need 15 gallons for one pair, but if I do just one seahorse, will it be okay? Do I need to do anything to the intake of the filtration, or are these seahorses to big for the water movement to hurt them? Will I need to diffuse the out put of the water from the sump? The tank dimentions are 11/11/13, I think. Thanks!
6 gallon seahorse tank?

If I had an ATO system running, and did weekly water changes, I think it could work. What I was wondering was if the tank itself was to small for one h. Fuscus seahorse, because it is only like 13" tall. Thanks for the quick response!
Do the dwarf sea horses much better to live in a 6g

Well I do weekly water changes on my 20 gallon and sometimes even before it's been a week if I feel it need it. And the water for seahorses must be pristine and seahorses are pretty messy eaters so you might want to do more then just weekly.

Im currently cycling a 6g nano to set up as a seahorse tank. Ive planted some Mexican caulerpa in hopes that that will help with nutrient export. Ive also added a diy protien skimmer to the back. I think it should work with 1 seahorse. Imo a pair would be pushing it.......glad to see someone has the same idea.
I would just go with 1 seahorse. All you need is low flow rate and prefect water quality.
