seahorse question

hi

can someone tell me if its possible to have one seahorse in my 20L tank?

so far i have about 19lbs of live rock and 21 lbs of sand

my stock list so far is
2 clowns
1 peppermint
1 red star
4 snails

i want to add just one more shrimp probably a cleaner

in my tank right so far i have 3 aquaclear and 1 maxijet

i just ordered a corallife skimmer rated for 65 gallon
my temp is a around 78-80 and i have 150W MH

i dont think i want a pair of seahorse maybe just one , is my setup okay?

Thanks

Sorry, but it is not a good setup for a seahorse. Clowns are not good tankmates, they can be territorial and aggressive, and they are also aggressive feeders that can prevent the seahorses from getting enough food. The temperature is also too high. You will want a temperature of 70-74 degrees for seahorses.
