Sea Horses

[littlefish]

Can anyone help me?
I want to get a 6.5 gallons tank (the ones sold at Petland with everything) to put a pair of Sea Horses.
Do I need a skimer or will the filter that come with the tank be enough.
Also how about the light.
I only want to keep plants, life rock, life sand and the Sea Horses.

Thanks for the comments

unless they are dwarfs, 6.5 is toooooo small

Michael, I was hoping somebody would chime in here. Minimum size should be a 20 gallon. The smaller the tank the more work it will be to maintain stable parameters. Sea horses are extremely sensitive to water conditions. 6.5 gallons really just doesn't cut it.
