with very careful aclimation and quarantine you can prevent issues with diseases, it is more difficult than most fish, but thats seahorses in general .
rsman, I was thinking about something like that, but I am not sure if it would work...
Maybe if the cooled water (using a chiller or similar ) enters the Seahorse tank first
