Sea Horse Dilemma

Okay, Those who have read my previous thread: Fish's Lust, know what I am talking about with my sea horse dilemma. Those who havn't, I am truly in a jam so please read it.
Okay, I have a black sea horse and all I know is that I am stuck with him/her (still can't determine that)... Anyway I have a few options available. I have currently set up a 55 gallon aquarium which has finished his cycle so I could remove all of the 20 gallon fish into the 55 and leave the 20 for the seahorse. But I rather NOT, but we all have to mature in a way that we think about our little friends over our wants.
Second is that I can find a 10 gallon or 5 gallon high and somehow hook this up to my twenty gallon water so that it runs on the same water and put the sea horse in the 10 or 5 gallon, maybe twenty if I am lucky. Would a ten gallon be enough??? The 5 gallon is as tall as my twenty and is a circle shape so its diameter is about two feet all around. Its width is above a half a foot (no measurements, just guesses)... Now I think he will fit in it fine but I dunno, I have been failing miserably with my choices recently. (Maybe I should just do the opposite of what I think is a good idea and you never know, I may become a shark... haha)
Yeah, I am still working on ideas and I am trying very hard to correct my mistake. So neway, just give me your oppinions and hear is a brief summary in case you forget what my options are since its soo long (srry about it, i lose track of what i m talking about.. ooops, there i go again)
1) Leave sea horse in 20 with my fish listed below.
2) Put sea horse in my newly established 55 (just finished cycle)
3) Move all fish to 55, get rid of moridin and keep sea horse in 20
4) Get 10 gallon, hook up to 20 gallon tank... put sea horse in there
5) Get 5 gallon (I think will fit in okay) and hook up to tank
Sea Horse is 4 inches curlced up tail, with tail extended about 5-6 inches. He is a black sea horse, LFS told me he don't grow more {he said it was a he}... yeah well u wait to see what I tell that LFS!!!
Thank you in advance

oh man, u just confused me. I want to have the water interconnected. I mean if i m going to do this i have to do it fast, i can't wait for new water to cycle. I have to hook say another twenty gallon to my twenty so it shares the same filter and heater. I lack a refugium (don't have lr and i m doing great)

You can connect your tanks, like a refugium. Check in the DIY forum, here.
Why can't you leave the horse in the 20 that he's in now? What are the other fish in there? Corals?
