I currently have a 20g reef and a 39g cube(ish) FOWLR with just a fuzzy dwarf lion, urchin, and choc. chip star. I've been really interested in starting up a seahorse aquarium for awhile now and although I would LOVE to set up a nice 55/75g, I don't have the money to splurge on that. I am wanting to turn the 39g into a seahorse setup. What I'm wondering is if it'd be possible for me to consolidate both of my tanks if I do turn the 39 into a seahorse tank. I'd like to have two pairs of seahorses (captive bred), and all I have in my 20 right now is a pair of skunk clowns, a yellow watchman goby, 4 corals, cleaner shrimp, feather duster, conch, and hermits/snails. I'm worried this would be too much of a bioload if I consolidated the two with the 3 small fish plus the 2 pairs of seahorses. I would turn the 20g into a sump, put my coralife 65 skimmer, millenium 3000 (half LR rubble, half carbon) and maybe a UV sterilizer in the 20 and get some tubing to hook it up to the 39. But would 2 pairs of seahorses, a pair of small clowns, and a watchman goby be too much of a bioload even with that type of filtration setup?
