Well since they tend to be smaller tanks they are often more difficult.
I managed to combine the best of both worlds for my setup. I have a 24g seahorse tank next to my 125 reef. They share water so the paramaters stay more stable, but I am able to have lower flow and less lighting in the seahorse tank. The only thing I have not been able to adjust so far is the temp. Seahorses like a lower temp and I don't have a chiller (yet).
I also keep a cleaner shrimp some snails and some non photosynthetic corals (gorgonians and suns) in that tank as well just to have some variety etc.
