Seahorses as their name implies are marine creatures. The basic rules for a marine tank are 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 5 gallons of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. Every tank must have an efficient permanently running protein skimmer. The bigger the tank, the easier it is to keep stable.
