Hi,
I will be setting up a 30 gallon tank this week. I've had salt tanks in the past - 12g and 29g FOWLR tanks and a 30g simple reef tank.
Would I be able to keep a captive-bred sea horse and a starfish of some kind in this tank?
Can you point me to good info sources on both of these?

I'd say one or the other. not both. Seahorses need spesies only setup and both need the tank to be stable and at least 4+ months muture. Lots of research before you decide this is what you want to do. There is a seahorse board farther down the forums. a good place to start their research.

Both are some of the most difficult animals to keep, and I would recommend a lot of research. The star definitely does not belong in a new tank. They are very sensitive to water parameters, even those we don't measure.
Did you want to keep other things as well, or set up a seahorse tank?
