Newbie Question about this tank and would it work with seahorses

[jquest]

Thinking of getting this tank Oceanic BioCube 29 gallon http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS...iocube29gallon
Would like to know if it would be good with Kellog Seahorses? If so how many horses could I get? What should I put in it etc. I'm a total noob... Been reading the forums but really haven't decided what to do etc....

lets see. one of the first things I can think of is this tank is a little short, but should be fine. Next would be heat. Seahorse tanks need to be between 72 and 77 degrees, preferable on the lower end of the scale.
I would not sugest starting with Kelloggi. There have been problems with people keeping them. most have not been sucessful. They also can get very lrg. I would instead suggest Either Captive bred Kuda, Barbs or Erectus. Reidi are one of the lrgest and would prob be too big for your tank.

ok sounds good I actually like those choices for the horses. So I could technically keep 2 pair? On the tank however are you saying that it would be hard to heat it? If so have any suggestions on what I should get instead? I'm looking for any and all help on this. I want to do this right!
Are there any guides etc you may suggest?

no what I was saying is it might be hard to keep the temps down where they should be with an enclosed tank.

Honestly I would skip that tank and go for a more simple setup.For the price of the 29 Bio cube you could have a 50 gallon tank and 4 pairs of horses.
The all in one setups are always so expensive.But if you want to get the 29 cube, you could probably do 1 pair of the horses Teresa listed.

I agree, read the thread I posted above. I listed a couple of 29 gal kits that run about 130 bucks, and would work fine.
