Thanks for the replys!. My plans for the tank are coral and anemones. Maybe seahorses. I want to do it right and i know this can get expensive so its going to be an ongoing hobby. Patience is my friend. Lol

Patience is the most needed thing in this hobby. I always struggle with that lol.

A nem tank would be awesome but most people would day anything under 6 months is not suitable for an anemone. Seahorses ate incredible creatures but they are for the more experienced. Id love to see you do a seahorse but i advise by starting off slow amd gaining as much knowledge amd experience as you can with something smaller and easier. Nems would be awesome to but i sugjest gaining all the info you can before hand. If they die in your tank they could nuke you're tank and kill everything. They decay amd produce a lot of ammonia.

Seahorses and anemones will not go together. They will sting the seahorses.
