365seasons 55G (updated august 15th- new pics!)

[Chaloupa]

Very cool tank start! LOVE IT!

Only comment I have is that a 10g might be a tad small for the horses....can you go with a 20g tall in the same space....would be nicer for them to stretch out and swim in.....from the reading I have done;

TAKEN FROM SEAHORSE.ORG

Each species of seahorse has a definate comfortable minimum tank size. The tank temperature also depends on the species. The following information is pulled from the care guide:

I have been thinking of converting my 65g hex tall into a seahorse tank but am still not sure......really really would like to though!!!

I think your stand design is great...what a neat way to put it all together!
