Im very new to seahorses, 48 hours but ive been going research.
right now i have a cascade internal filter because it has a spray bar, but anyway the tank has live sand and two pieces of tonga branch live rock. Im going to the store on monday and getting a plastic val plant for them to hang on to, and cheato for the copepods i bought.
Is there anything else i need to know or get?
I currently feed them live brine shrimp, they are tank bred so im going to try on enriched frozen brine and mysis.
They are great seahorses or hippo...kellogi

how much live rock? other then the tonga?
you should not be feeding brine. They have no nutrition. try to get them back on mysis - its the best for them. How often are you feeding.
What temp are you keeping your tank. Kellogii do better at lower temps. They also need a tall tank as they do get quite large.
Pictures are a must

it is a 29, with plans on to moving into a 50 high.
The tank is around 70*F
They are fed around 2-3 times per day.
only two, one male and one female

As Teresa mentioned - get them back on frozen mysis ASAP. Kellogi don't have a great track record, so you'll want to be feeding them the best foods possible to keep their health and immune systems up.
