I have been toying with the idea of getting dwarf seahorses. I have been researching all that is needed and I am lost about the tank. I found this article.

Here is a small Eclipse 6 gallon that I set up

But it is for a larger setup. I was thinking of starting smaller a 5 gallon and if that is successful moving up later. I know that feeding is tricky that is why I wanted to start in a 5 gallon. I already hatch brine shrimp daily for my coral and FW angel babies.

My questions are:

1. Are the 5 gallon kits ok or is it better just to buy the items seperately?
2. Would buying a nano be better or are they just pretty to look at and more expensive?
3. Is there a good place to buy small tanks cheap?
4. Where to get the ponies?

I want to have a nice set up but I want it to be functional over pretty. I have read that people have to tweak the kits to make them work and that some leak. What is really needed?
