Seahorse Refugium Display Tank?

[fishguy23]

I just setup my (SHOWLR)Seahorse Display refugium which is plumbed along w/ my main tank to my sump. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or comments on how I can improve the enviroment for my pair of seahorses along w/ providing the the benefits of a fuge.......The setup is a 15x15x15 w/ built in OF, 48 watt 50/50 PC's, only circulation is from the return pump & a 150gph PH, 76 degrees, 1 1/2 inch sand bed (considering mixing mud), pair of captive breed seahorses, 12lbs of LR, Skeleton Branch (Forgot the name) 1/2lb red gracilliria, feather duster, green algae plant, halimeda plant, maiden hair, hairbrush plant, couple of mangroves, and seeded the fuge w/ about 3 dozen amphipods! I want this to look like a display tank but yet provide benefits to the overall system! I need to know specifics on flow, temp, actinics light have any benefits or should I just keep the whites on alternating schedules w/ my main et etc?

Utilizing a T-Bar I split 2 1" hoses to drain into my wet/dry sump, and for the return I have 2 seperate powerheads that return the water back into each of the tanks respectively
