Hiya!

I have a 15 gallon kreisel tank that I bought from liveaquaria a few years ago that up until now I have used for moon jellyfish. They lived their normal lifespan and now I have this empty tank and I’m wondering what else I could put in it? The tank is fully cycled and has live rock and filter media in the hollow area between the walls and the inside of the tank. the lighting is nothing special, just various colors of gently LEDs.

I have a massive 300 gallon Red Sea that takes up an entire wall in my living room that is my beloved reef tank. I don’t have fish or critters in it, coral exclusive- mixed reef. My corals are my darlings so I haven’t wanted to put anything in the tank that might start messing with them, and many of the gentle critters I am interested in could be hurt by my corals

now that I have this empty kreisel all I’m thinking maybe I could use it for something like dwarf seahorses? The flow is circular but very gentle and there’s nothing in the tank that could harm them. The intake overflow are both in the top of the tank. It’s basically as baby-proofed as a tank could possibly be. I was thinking maybe I could put some saltwater safe artificial plants in it for hitches…
Would they be able to live safely
I’m a kreisel?
if not, any other interesting suggestions out there? A shrimp tank maybe? Any fish suggestions?

TLDR- basically just looking for critter suggestions for my 15 gallon krisel tank. What would thrive in it?


Thanks everyone

not seahorses, they are picky and need tight params, have you considered getting more jellyfish? Might be hard to keep other stuff in there. This is a jellyfish breeder https://jellyfishwarehouse.com/

Pipefish?
Definitely not. They need larger tanks with plenty of things to browse through for copepods. Think seagrass setups, or tanks with low flow and tons of live rock.
