Looking for input on starting a seahorse tank.

Seahorse keeping also is very labour intensive and if you like to go traveling, they are a very bad idea. It's easy enough to convince a friend to pop in a feed some pellets to your fish every other day or so. It's a lot less convenient to have someone feed mysis multiple times a day (or at least one good feeding every day). They do not handle missing meals very well since in the wild, they hunt and scarf down live mysis and pods constantly. They have little reserves to handle going without being fed at least daily.

I have hundreds upon hundreds of pods living in my current tank (180g) would it be a safe move to add a small refugium to the tank and begin the tank by adding several hundred pods into the system and allowing them to populate heavily before the introduction of the seahorses. That would allow for them to eat whatever whenever. Am I wrong in thinking this would work.
