Aw heck, why not?
I have the time to ask a few preliminary questions:
1.) Have you ever had a saltwater tank before? If so, what kind and how long did you have it?
2.) What kind of seahorse are you wanting to get? Dwarf or h. Kuda, h. Reidi, etc.?
3.) What kind of set-up do you have for a seahorse, if anything? Tank size, equipment, etc.

I've had a 65 gal reef tank and 125 gal which should be close set up within this week(only thing that should be left is to get some power heads)I'm hopeing to keep anything thing relitivly easy to care for. and i'm planning to put it in the 125 gal. If it can't be kept in the 125 please tell me the minimum size tank needed.

That size tank is a perfect seahorse playground
I don't recommend doing Dwarf seahorses in such a big tank, but any of the other larger ones would do perfectly!
How much do you know about keeping seahorses? They do require milder temperatures, with most needing a temp between 72* - 76*. Some people find that they need to buy a chiller in order to keep seahorses, as their tank is too hot.
If you can give us an idea of what you'd like to keep and what your plans are as far as equipment/livestock, we'll be able to better help you

what do you plan on keeping i the 125. Though its a nice size tank, Horses should be kept species only, with maybe a few gobies. Most fish out compete them for food, and in such a large tank they may have trouble finding food.
min tank size would be a 29 gal. your 65 would be nice. lots of room to play, and you could have a couple of pairs.
