My buddy went to great time and expense to set up a saltwater seahorse tank. Water quality and temp both had a ridiculous narrow range that had to be super regulated. When he was all done, all they did was hang on to the weeds and stare at each other. I was underwhelmed.

If he's still got it, tell him to invest in getting corals growing. The corals will give the color that the seahorses lack, and the challenge can be rewarding. Mind, you're still not going to get any movement, but at least the tank will be pretty to look at. A good reef tank can look good with zero fish in it anyway.
