I don't suggest removing the rock and cleanings it. Follow the good advice posted above and let the cyano... die off naturally. In the process of removing and cleaning the rock you will be removing (good) bacteria and eco-support needed to keep your tank healthy. You don't want that.

Your lion about same size?

It is amazing! ---Sounds like you may have a red Volitan. Yea I'm thinking I will go with 75 .

Take a look at this trigg... ignore aquascape or the lack thereof. And the horrible music Lol... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=BGSfVLSlNMWYNpXNgPAL&url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O672fwsVClQ&ved=0CDIQtwIwBQ&usg=AFQjCNFSWcrOHtzNXColvZ7iByZuLL04Ng&sig2=yXsWdT1srZqF5EkTDaZYYQ

Lol. Yes. Really though, I just want to be fair to lion in space. Guess 3 inches isn't going to make or break moral barrier (lol).

Thanks for feedback. I still intend on trying for 90 but guess i shouldn't be overly concerned if things do move in that direction.

Nice folks...

Trigger, You have a 90g and lion. The dimensions for 90 and 75 are the same except that a 90 is 3" taller. In your opinion as Volitan keeper would 75 be too small for my intended setup? 90 unless i find a really good deal on a used one altough only 3" taller is much more expensive. Since I...

Lol thanks trigger. Youre right. Boy, That was a great deal! Lucky you, share the luck. Got photo?

Thanks! I've kept fresh and saltwaters aquariums for years. Its just been years since I've had one set up. My gears are still oiled and I miss he hobby so since I've always wanted a lion display thought I'd make it my first come back. Timimg is purely financial. I hope i can find used...

Nice...

How big is your guy? Had him long?

Does your lion spend a lot of time in open water? V.'s usually do, especially those that were hand fed (something id never do, except with very long tweezer?.

Here's a Russell's.

Smaller than volitan. Up to 8-10' max. Usually no spots on cadual fin, redder/brown stripes spaced further apart and no pattern under neck/mandible like Volitan. Pectoral fins appear more webbed in comparison to Volitan. Id still recommend 90 or higher but in a single fish aquarium they'd...

Nice setup. Im surprised your trigger hasn't made your hermits a snack! Any thoughts about the Russell's lionfish ? Ever kept one of those? They're a nice looking fish as well?

Nice... what size aquarium, and are other fish in with the lion? I desire a Volitan only 90g with maybe 5 blue legged hermits (about .75') and 5-6 electronic blue banded hermits (about 2-3'). Blue movement along bottom with lion is my setup vision. Im glad to hear someone with hermit/lion setup...

Anyone have any ideas on how long an aquarium should be running (established ) before introducing Blue legged or Electric blue banded hermits ? Im wondering in lieu of their diet.

Has anyone successfully kept P. Volitan Lion and Hermit Crabs? I'm planning a 90g single Lion only tank with a leather coral of some type. Perhaps toadstool, and I'd like to keep some blue legged and electric blue banded hermits. I'm thinking blue knuckles (electronic ) would probably be...
