What kind of Filter do I need for keeping seahorses?
Seahorses need clean clear water. There are a few methods to achieve this. Some methods - like undergravel filters - are used by some experianced people, but are not recommended. Other methods like skimmers may have risks for seahorses when not setup correctly. The most common method is a tank with 'live rock' or a combination of live rock and canister filtration. It is also quite acceptable to use a canister filter only, without live rock. As with most things seahorse related, there are no hard rules, with many people being successful with varying systems. What is important is you understand what you are setting up, how it works, and how to solve problems if it goes wrong.
