Default 24 Gallon Aquapod Seahorse Tank?!?!

Okay guys, I'm wanting to continue a tank I've already said I was buying in other thread! To brief you, it's a second tank for my GF because she really wants a seahorse tank....Anyways the tank is a 24 gallon aquapod with 70 watt Hallide and moon lights and a few things come with it, especially excited about AquaC remora protein skimmer! Anyways I'm wanting to start the tank and am looking at seahorses as the first thing I want and then what fish should I put in this tank...I know they have to me VERY unaggressive because the seahorses are so docile...My question is, what have you all kept in a seahorse tank that has worked out greatly!

aqua pods may be ok for the seahorses as long as they dont breed.. get all females of a hardy type.otherwise seahorse fry will end up going thru the vents and wind up in the return pump or skimmer and die.. even the adults may go over the wall.. I don`t recommend aqua pods for seahorses..

The only problem with a seahorse/fish tank is keeping the seahorses fed. The fish will take all of the food. With clowns you might be able to get by with it but then again I havn't read much about seahorses.

Good luck with the tank.
